How do you start in the domain flipping business?

[arakatech]

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently become interested in the domain flipping business and wanted to learn more about how people actually get started.

I’m curious about things like:

• How do you find good domains to buy?
• What tools or marketplaces do you use?
• How do you decide what a domain is worth?
• Do you usually buy expired domains or hand-register new ones?
• What are the biggest mistakes beginners make?

I’d really appreciate any advice, resources, or personal experiences from people who have been doing this for a while.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

One thing that helped me when I started is to stop thinking of it as “finding good domains” and instead focus on spotting situations where a real buyer might show up later.
