BarryLejieg Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I sold a couple of domains for a few hundred bucks and to be honest I'm quite happy about it. From my experience, domain flipping (buying and selling domains) it's a very stable way to make some extra cash online. Its very easy and friendly since you can easily buy domains and sell them in auctions. Does anyone here use the domain flipping method as a way to earn money online? Quote
johnthomas1433 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Yes. Its most certainly a great business, considering that there are plenty of newbies in Flippa who have no idea how profitable a website is. You just have to do some keyword research, put up Wordpress, and place some content, and then just flip it! I have flipped a few domains, and they have fetched me more than $1000 apiece. Quote
kmpisces Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I have not done domain flipping. This is something I would love to do. I think I could create some good domains since I like to write. I would be able to come up with good content. It would be great to hear from those who use domain flipping as a way to make income or extra income. Quote
elledesign Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 No, but I'm definitely interested. Where's the best place to flip a domain? I was thinking of using Go Daddy, but they charge a fee to join their reseller services. Suggestions? Quote

The way to win at this is being creative and being able to predict what domains will be popular in the future. themonk3y 1 Quote
kingpost Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Nah, I have not done domain flipping before Quote
CyberGenius Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I'm actually planning on starting the domain flipping business in the nearest future. But, I'm still waiting to get some cash as I want to buy lots of domain at a time. I'd be dealing in the long term domain flipping, that is domain that would sell ok in the long future. And also short ones that I'd probably have gotten buyers(unknown to them) for before buying, or just quickly look for after buying. I think it's a good move to buy older domains via auction sales for less and reflip it again. But, is anyone looking into flipping domain hacks? I think I'm going to deal in that as well. Quote
justusforus Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I wondered if anyone has any recommendations as to the best place to showcase a domain for sale. I also have no idea how to price it. Is there any good articles that you could point to that I could get a little more savvy. It's kind of like being in grade school, totally confused and unprepared, and the teacher says "any questions?". I am feeling like that since I am not even sure if I am asking the right questions. Bottom line is I think I have a distinctive, marketable domain name (and a load of extensions) and am thinking flipping it may be a better idea than trying to develop the site. Thanks in advance.

First of all, I've never done this, but I saw a lot of people who are doing this online. I would like to see more in depth data on what've you done concerning the domain flipping!? What is your profit compared to the time you spent using this model? If there are a lot of fees and work involved and little profit to be made then it's not so wise to focus on that. Because time that we have is much more valuable. Quote

The best place to sell a domain name is definitely Flippa. It' a well established marketplace for buying and selling domain names. The most important things to consider if you want to determine the price for your site is how much profit it brings and how much traffic it's getting. Nobody wants to buy site without traffic or revenue! The next thing that I've found about selling on Flippa is how is configured the description of the offer. Quote
xbrix Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) I have, and I've made a few undred off of doing it. I buy one or two domains a month, so I'll make maybe 200 too 300 a month. Edited December 24, 2013 by xbrix Quote
Zerth Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Nope, I'm still new to this whole website creating idea, but what you've said sounds really interesting, so I might give it a try to make some good money online. Quote
mikelouis Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I have not tried it but from what I know is that it has a lot of cash. I think it will also depend on the value of the domain or else you won't make much. What is know is that domains with .com have a lot value. Quote
OhioTom76 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 The closest thing I've ever done to any "domain flipping" was completely unintentional. I had bought up some horror movie themed domains a couple years ago, with the intention of setting up a horror movie news web site. However I never got around to it, and out of the blue, someone contacted me about buying one of the domains. They had a more established company that happened to be the same name as one of the domains that I bought, and asked if I would be willing to sell it. I don't know why they waited until now to get the domain name. Anyhow, I felt kind of slimy nickle and diming them for the domain - I only paid like $15 for it when I registered it. So I told them they could have it for the $15 and we'll call it a day. Quote
LivetoErr Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I've certainly considered it as a way to make extra money. I'm just not that creative in predicting what domain names would be popular now or in the future. However, when I have some free time I will try. A few hundred bucks here and there would sure make a differnce in my life. Quote
themonk3y Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 No I have not done domain flipping before in fact I had not even heard the term before. After reading this thread I really want to try domain flipping. Yes. Its most certainly a great business, considering that there are plenty of newbies in Flippa who have no idea how profitable a website is. You just have to do some keyword research, put up Wordpress, and place some content, and then just flip it! I have flipped a few domains, and they have fetched me more than $1000 apiece. $1000 a piece !! That is an excellent figure to make for one domain. I am going to check out Flippa right now. Do you have any tips for some new to flippa or domain flipping ? Do you know any other sites like flippa for domain flipping or selling WordPress website just like you did ? Quote
Profit5500 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 No I have not done domain flipping at all which I do know about it. It is a great business in making some great extra income. I remember that some site could go as far as $2000 which depends on who is buying. I just would like to do it but I do not know where to start. Quote
Soulwatcher Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I do not do it because a domain is only worth what some one else is willing to pay for it. And I myself have never paid more than the registration fee for a domain. I always see a ton of people trying to flip domains and no one ever puts a bid on the domain. Greg Quote

Greg I see I guess it was worth a shot to try. I might do it sometime when I make some money online with some other systems. I guess you have to understand how auctioning works to really make above $1000 all the time. Quote

I guess you have to understand how auctioning works to really make above $1000 all the time. Exactly. Domain flipping is one of those weird topics where I personally have heard that people have done it but I've never actually known anyone who has directly. It seems to take a lot of research into not just getting the right domain but also marketing the domain back out to the public to find an actual buyer. You just can't simply have it and then hope that people want it. You have to find those people. Quote
alash Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 I haven't flipped anything yet but have some I will be. A few friends have flipped some domain names and made some good profit. Quote
