Need help!!

[Bill36]

Hey im new to the domain buying/selling business and i need some good advice on what domains to buy and sell and possibly which ones to register. if anyone can help me please post it back here or pm me thanks!! any advice is appreciated!

Recommended registrars: Moniker, 4Domains, NameCheap, Enom, and DomainSite
Recommeded domains: shorter domains, generic domains, and domains that make money are preferrable.

go to namenewbie.com and spend 2 hours reading first...

To start, stick to .com domains under 15 letters in length, avoid hyphens and numbers (those serve a purpose, but you're best off avoiding them at first.) Make sure your domain is either brandable (pronouncable and easily remembered) or generic (relates to a product or set of products.)

Ok thanks so much i still need more help but thanks for the advice that has been given so far

 

[fonzie_007]

Your best bet is to still around this forum for a few months and read threads. You'll learn a lot quickly.

Ok and im kind of in a rut for spending money wise lol i no but is there any other way to get domains and then to sell them with out spending money? i have 2 domains as of now but i use them.

 

[fonzie_007]

You need money to make money. Start small and work your way up. That's how most people start in domaining.

Ok well how can i start small. Is there a way to make money for free? lol

Not really. I'd start with one domain and look to resell it for a small profit. Take the profits you make from that domain and reinvest it into another domain. Continue this process until you can expand out to more domains. I've seen other members here at NP start out that way and within a few months they went from not having the budget to reg a domain to buying and selling domains for $100+.

hmm it all sounds so interesting and i want to do it, but like i said before money is killing me here. There is no other way to get started in the domain selling/buying business with no money?

 

[GiddyUp]

get a credit card or paypal credit.

Don't know how old you are, but you'd have to be at least 18 in the U.S. to get either of those.

I'd say develop a plan before starting to spend serious money on credit. You're better off getting a small loan from a family member or friend (maybe take on a partner) and developing a few sites that can generate you revenue.

If you can pick up some nice typos for reg fee or even revenue-generating names at reg fee along the way, that's a sweet bonus

good luck!

hmm a partner?? well does anyone want to be my partner in the domain selling/buying business?? lol not jokeing if i can have a partner that will allow me and him to buy domains on his credit card and when i sell the domain i will give him half the profit. anyone interested?

LoL - In all honesty, I dont think a serious domainer would allow a rookie to come in, risk his money, and split the profits. Your best bet is to start off here at NamePros. there are threads where if you go posts on forums, they will give you NP$ (name pros money). Eventually you can save up enough to buy a domain name at NamePro's registrar or buy them off of people who are selling for NP$.

Dont expect someone to partener up, they have nothing to gain.

Yes, you can get a .com domain for FREE.

Just go click on "NP$ Store" , Then click on "Earn Credits for visits", go start clicking on the ads, and you will get NP$ . After you collected about 425 NP$, you can register a domain for FREE !!!! Great rite ?

Why don't you try to play the appraisal game at http://game.namebio.com/
If you can't get near 50 points, then that may be a good sign that you should hold onto your money.
