Register Numerous Worthy Domains
Because beginners tend to be over-excited, they usually forget to register domains that are worthy of buying.
Registering domains is not just simply registering it, you must do some research; ensure you know what are the types of domains that can be bought and those that can’t be. Once you feel that you know a lot about domains, it’s time for your first purchase.
When choosing the right domain, you must see to it that it can be resold for a higher amount than what you paid for. For example, if you registered a $5 domain name you have to resell it twice its value at $10. This way, you earned $5 from your registered domain. Some of you might wonder why I prefer a small number of domains, simply because if ever you made the wrong move the damage is still reversible.
Registering numerous worthy domains at small amounts may be questionable to you, however, please note that this method is all about “volume”. Register 10 worthy domains at $5 each and resell them at $10 each will give you a $50 profit. As a beginner, a 50% profit is not bad at all!
Join the Broker Sites
Broker sites mean websites that have a huge amount of traffic and are usually checked by internet marketers or fellow domainers who are in search of sale domains. Websites such as snapnames, the sedo, and afternic are the highly visited sites. As they call it, these sites are the so-called brokerage firms.
