Hello, I am one of those serial domain hoarders that has a great idea for a website and then I never follow thru. In result, I have a few precious domain names I have been holding onto for years, and I am ready to let them go. They are like my babies!
I had to call GoDaddy for a technical issue with a website I am actually developing, and the associate (Julian, who was really cool and helpful) mentioned something about listing websites on their auction area. We delved into it and he has bought over 60 domains to list for sale!
This got my thinker spinning, and I have now been infatuated with finding primo domains and flipping them for a profit.
The reality is, even if you buy the domain for ten bucks and sell it for fifty, you just made 5x profit, a feat that would be astonishing on the stock market!
Well, I am not trying to shoot for the moon here, I think I have a few winners, one of them being:
gemstonehunter.com
I hope I get some encouraging people to say hello, as I am sure this business is cut throat, and many have probably lost their asses on buying shit tons of domains that they have sat on for a number of years. I do not intend to be one of those people.
Any guidance would be great, I am just starting out, my main concern is figuring out the formula for a successful domain name. My rule of thumb is two words or less that can be applied to a business, blog, hobby.
Thanks everyone!
