It's no secret that domain name registrations are on the rise. With 354.7 million domain names registered to date, the industry is seeing a very steady growth of approximately 4.3% year over year. While thousands of new domain extensions -- such as .club, .shop and .io -- have been introduced to the mix, the almighty .com top-level domain (TLD) continues to remain the bread and butter of domaining.
It is worthy to note that .com domains make up an overwhelming number of sales above $25,000.
Following this surge of new domain name registrations, premium domains are potentially increasing in value, therefore opening up doors to extremely lucrative opportunities for domain brokers. How lucrative? Voice.com sold for $30 million in 2019, and 360.com sold for $17 million in 2015 -- and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The reality is that everyone with a presence of mind can become a domain broker, but only the best are privileged with large deals.
