Not a noob - Kinda, but I need YOUR help, Please! (Kinda long)

[UneekTT]

So I used to own a web design company a couple years ago, and I know how to build "basic" web sites, I know a little bit about keywords (SEO) and I am not a programmer, but I am a designer.

My question is this, I just started domaining, and purchased a few so far:
BESTAMERICANWIRELESS.COM
BESTCITYWIRELESS.COM
BESTLOCALWIRELESS.COM
EASYFREEWIRELESS.COM
EASYHOMEWIRELESS.COM
MYAMERICANWIRELESS.COM
MYCELLWIRELESS.COM
MYCHICAGOWIRELESS.COM
MYDIRECTWIRELESS.COM
MYINTERNETWIRELESS.COM
STOPWIRELESS.COM
WEBFREEMOBILE.COM

And I would like to know what would be the best way to start.

Should I design a page and get hosting for all of these (that would take a bit of work and cost a little too) or should I just attempt to sell some and park some, or just sell them all or park them all.

If I park them, who should I park with?

What is the best way to make some real money, not too concerned about making lots of money, but I would like some consistent income at some point.

I am willing to invest some time/money but I dont want to waste my time/money either. I am also willing to work for someone if all they need is basic header/layout web sites designed/developed.

My major goal, is to attempt to be able to start working from home sometime soon, and making a decent living, and if it takes off and I keep re-investing, all the better.

Please, from someone who has been here for a while, your thoughts?

TIA!

P.S. I am not totally a noob, because I understand everything that a web designer would get - FTP, DNS and the like - but I do not understand completely as far as how I can make money - besides the obvious like buying a domain for cheap and selling it for more.

parking will not do anything for you unless these get traffic from old links...I would pick your favorite and work your tail off on that name until it makes $5-10 oer month or whatever...then start on #2...But I would look for a name with traffic for about 100-200 and use that since it would have visitors from day 1.

hope this helps.

I agree with dentalpro.

to earn fast cash, try selling the domains.

at the same time, to build a steady income, develop a few with adsense ads.

I think I will pick stopwireless.com as well as a couple existing sites that I own, and sell the rest, but in the meantime, I will have them parked and hope for the best.

If I just have them parked, how can I get traffic?
Is it a bad idea to use something like "trafficswarm" or another system to generate traffic, or is there a better way?

You should not generate traffic for your parked domains , traffic should be type-in or old links..

 

[UneekTT]

How do I get traffic like that, just by chance?
That would be next to impossible IMO - and I would certainly never get enough like that.

When you say "type in" you actually mean that someone would type in my entire address, either on purpose or by mistake, and when you say "old links" that would mean that someone had this link saved already - is that correct?

There has to be a better way!

And I know I am still a noob, so that is why I am here - to learn - so please teach me well

Also, why shouldn't I generate traffic to parked domains - isn't that what I want?

You should not generate traffic for your parked domains , traffic should be type-in or old links..

Correct

and when you say "old links" that would mean that someone had this link saved already - is that correct?

May be , or if it was a developed website in the past and still have some links there or here..

Also, why shouldn't I generate traffic to parked domains - isn't that what I want?

Counters of parking service (as i think) only count organic traffic ( like search engine ) or type-in traffic , old age link.. so they can avoid fraud and anyway this what makes Google and Yahoo sponsor something like that.. i mean parking domains.. for them ppl who type-in website really looking for something on this domain , so with targeted ads for this kind of visitors .. Successful marketing results..

Someone type in "www.buyring.com" , what do you think he is looking for ?
