question If you had $1500.00?

[Domain Cave]

Although I know there is no guaranteed formula. But seeing how money "usually" makes money, what would YOU do if given $1500.00 towards domain flipping and told to make the best profit you could.

 

[hn]

For that amount, would try to find a great short keyword domain from various auctions and use it for a flip!

 

[Trader247]

What i would do with $1,500 is:
1. Buy the best and as liquid as possible .com you can via aftermarket like NameJet for like $1,300
2. Spend the rest on marketing the name and flip it via something like Flippa
3. Set reserve at break even or slightly above
4. Hopefully a quick profitable flip which I could turn into a few k and try the above again.

Again, this is what i would do and not advice to you.

Buy low and sell high

 

[iowadawg]

Thing is, what to buy low that will sell high.
I see on so many threads here on NP where people are reg happy and just regging domains because of godaddy coupons.
Bet come renewal time, there will be a lot of trash dropped.

 

[Name Trader]

Well I probably should add, to buy no more than 2 domains with the $1500.

I agree, with $1500 your best bet is to invest wisely into good COM's. Search the NameJet and SnapNames auction to try and find some good names you can pickup for low-mid $XXX.. These will probably be the best for you to start flipping with!

Hi this_username_was_banned,

You recommend to approach end users or wait em to come for bait!?
The later would give more authority / driver seat to negotiate innit!?
I always feel hesitation negotiating, when I approach the buyer first.
Wanna know what u havta say.

Either approach has its merits. I like the passive strategy more but if you need the money soon rather than later the active strategy would yield better results.

When I mentioned negotiating, I meant to negotiate with the seller.

Every dollar saved is a dollar made.

Hop on NJ or Snap and get the $69 names people are missing, you could almost get 22 of them. Or buy some for a little more, lots of deals to be had.

 

[DU]

I'd take $1.99 and hand reg a domain. I'd invest about $1480 in various securities and buy a cheese steak, fries, and an orange cream soda.

I don't see how any of those could be monetized.

 

[Soofi]

I had probably spend the most Backordering domain names

I happen to find gems in the dirt!

 

[urlurl]

buy some nice brandable's hold and wait... the key is finding good saleable brandables.

Really Shane?!? What about the are huge sons of anarchy fans out there who wanna make a forum, or chuck Norris fans, or gsp fans, or fight fans....etc etc, these are great domain names....please explain more in detail?

 

[Charles Sweeney]

Very good question. I would buy a developed name/site with a good idea/concept that had some room for improvement. I would then improve it and flip it.

Got me thinking now!

Have you ever developed a forum? What advertisements relate to Chuck Norris? Not to mention UFC and WWE are trademarks.

I can see potential for ringwarrior.com like a boxing game app.

Find a $5k - $10k domain and negotiate to $1500. Then send out an email blast to potential endusers. Be happy when a $3k offer comes along.

Keep doing that and along the way you can accumulate money and a few extra domains. Then you can sit and wait for the right buyer and larger payday on the few in the vault.

 

[Loro]

I'd definitely hit up ebay.com and try to score some cheap domains on auction.

If the domain has a decent number of bids, its likely to be a 'hot' name and will sell very easily.

I've gotten some really amazing names for ridiculously cheap.

It's a very underrated place to buy domains IMO.
