I think most Amazon sites are drop shipping sites rather than white label. Still a valid concept, but I think it involves a bit more work.
The other idea I'm considering is using casino landing pages to build a site.

Some people make some changes to a product colors or whatever to make it unique , put their brand on it, then sell thru Amazon (fba). Many are doing this thru china..You control the profit margins, your own branded products,...Amazon does the order fulfilment/shipping...
I personally have not done it.

I think the GEO plus Doctor or Doctors would be best. Make your sector specific names as broad as possible for more potential end users. If its only limited to family practices that take alot of doctors out of the equation. If I had to be more specific because plain old doctors was take I'd aim at Specialities that are lucrative to the doctor. Surgeons, Dermatology, Cosmetic Surgery names, Ortho, Neurologists, Sports medicine, Therapists & Counseling, Cancer. Gyno etc.

I don't buy many names for resale. I'm more interested in building an investment portfolio, and so I look for names that will create some income. I'm quite keen on my limited membership forum - Fit to Talk I've disabled registration though, because you seem to get a few hundred spammers every day who try to join to post links. I'll use this to pick up some traffic for the dedicated sales sites. Of course, any name is for sale at the right price.

Adding the keyword "street" to another keyword as a brandable only works for a very, very limited kind of name.

99.99999% of these types of names will never sell.

motel.tips is a nice hack! Who are potential end users?

I tried to make a website for the american region in the first place, initially with history on the motels that were out of Route 66, and then I went to the tips section, prices, added a game to play, and will see how to develop further.

I agree with that, and the "keyword "st" is even worse. However, I couldn't resist registering RagSt.com - I've no idea what to do with it at the moment, but if I start to promote clothing, then I might use it as a "hanger" site.

So I took some grief for MarijuanaMartca.com . . . MarijuanaMartwa.com looks really awesome. What am I missing here? I get that there are better terms to use, but I fail to see where this fails as a domain.

I mean Marijuana is fine as a key term!
Mart is fine as a key term.
Ca is California after all.

So . . .

The $64 question with the bolded part. I agree! I am curious to discover the commercial appeal!

The underlined portion may be true 98% of the time . . . long domains arent great. But in this case it is wrong. I have explained ad nauseam in other threads why that is the case (I imagine it does not interest you, so I won't bore you). You said you aren't familiar with special ed, so we ca just disagree
I do appreciate the feedback nevertheless!

End users, that's you best bet.

You are missing marketing here.

If you wrote MarijuanaMartCa.com that would be more definitive.

I thought what the hell is Martca mean?

I don`t know if they use the term Mart in Canada tho. If it is commonly used as its in US than it`s a good domain for sure.

But if the Canadians do not use the term Mart than it has no value. You need to think like a Canadian..

Also hoping you own the version MarijuanaMart.Ca which is stronger than .com in my opinion since your target market is Canada...

I think of CA as California and don't really think of CA as Canada.

Not targeting Canada!! But will sell to them

There you go another market for your domain.

I first thought of Canada when I saw Ca.

California, is also great since @Kuffy also thought California first
- assuming he is US resident.

After you do this for a while you will begin to understand what makes a name good.

It takes experience, study and time.

At some point, after you have done the above, a sort of knowing comes to you.

Call it intuition.

I am not saying this is absolute.

No one can predict the future, and you will always make mistakes.

But this intuition improves the odds you will pick better names.

That being said, we all will pick bad names sometimes.

I still do it, and wake up the next day wondering what I was thinking when I regged that stupid name the day before.

Keep doing what you are doing and you will develop that gut feeling too!!

First consider the market as it is today.

This is still an emerging market in early days.

The consider how many other, better domains are out there like this.

Think about some of the other types of names that will sell before mart like -

store
shop
etc.

Then understand that there are many terms to replace Marijuana -

weed
pot
ganja
mj
etc.

There are too many better, more appealing combinations for end users to choose from.

There are 3 terms in this name also ( Marijuana Mart Ca ), another mark against it.

Other, better and shorter versions will sell before this one.

What about the other choices a business could choose like

Marijuana store Ca
Marijuana shop Ca
Marijuana universe Ca
Marijuana planet Ca
Marijuana direct Ca
etc...etc...etc !!

When picking or bidding on a name you have to look at the uniqueness of the name as well as the other alternatives available to the end user.

Think about what other, cheaper choices an end user has without paying you $$$$$$.

Also, if this is targeting Canada, a dot ca would make more sense, and this adds another mark against it.

If it is targeting California why would ca be necessary at the end if it was a local shop?

If it is not local they could use - Marijuana Mart Calif or any number of other names including the name of the city they are located in.

If they wanted to do business outside of Canada or California they would not use ca in the name and would use a more generic name instead.

It really comes down to how many other choices an end user has, and with this name and the still young market, the only way you will ever sell it is if someone, down the road, names their business this exact name.

And that is a long shot and a long wait, renewing a name that will probably not sell.

This is the main reason one word dictionary names are so valuable - because there are few, if any, better alternatives to choose from.

WeedArtwork.com is available - that looks like an interesting name.

It seems that no domain situation is exactly the same . . .

If you saw cartime.com sell for XXXX and you could get timecar.com for less than 100, would you? If cartime.com were an up and running business with no trademark, would you?

No. I don't think there is a time that is implied by a car, or a car that travel thru time. (yet) Just because a domain has the same words in it just backwards, doesn't mean it has the same meaning or even close to the same meaning, or there's a usage for it.

Well . . . I wish maybe I could go back in time about 15 minutes Okay that isn't true, I lost money at the casino today, so Id go back to that time first!!

TurnkeyBeauty.com sold recently . . .

I regd BeautyTurnkey.com which doesn't actually make sense, but BeautifulTurnkey.com which I also regd does make sense! And TurnkeyRemodels.com makes sense, and TurnkeyRemodel.com does not have a trademark!

People are used to talking Turnkey then *****

This is why there are no sales data for ending in Turnkey. But 20 starting with Turnkey

CarTime = Forum or Show, Podcast Discussion about Cars.

TimeCar = Car used to time or pace a race or travel back in time.

First Car name much easier to sell

The car example was just an example. These are what I got:
BeautyTurnkey.com
BeautifulTurnkey.com
TurnkeyRemodels.com

I did notice no turnkey at the end sales . . .

TurnkeyRemodels is essentially saying the Turnkey didn't work and had to be redone. It at least suggests what was the turnkey (homes) Perhaps a remodel company where you (home owner) do nothing

The beauties don't say or allude to what is the turnkey object. Which may be a turn off to an enduser

I suppose this is the beauty of combining. I literally thought that the a home needed to be remodeled and then was a turnkey home. That is what TurnkeyRemodel.com is all about right now!

BeautifulTurnkey.com . . . hopefully a builder of homes that are beautiful turnkeys!

I thought turnkey site were premade sites use to promote various sponsors. So turnkey beauty could be an affiliate programme for cosmetics.

I used to work with a mens health sponsor, and I've just applied to re-open an account. They provide white label sites, and I want to set one up on a recent name of mine - MensDietSupplements.com They provide a SEO site, and you provide the domain name. You get a percentage of any revenue generated. Of course you have to do a bit to drive some traffic to the site. Once I've got it set up, I'll post a link. This afternoon I set up a white label tube site, and the info is in the adult section. I haven't been able to view the site as I'm on public WiFi

Please can you PM the white label site so that I can partake in it? Thanks in advance. I have some knowledge of promotions as an IM'er.

I had personally only ever heard turn key in a housing sense. If a home were a turn key home, you turn the key and move in. No paint needed. No roof repairs. No nothing.

It's the same concept with websites - hosting, design, and even the domain name - usually a sub-domain though
