Buying and Selling Domain Names

Just registering the domain may not necessarily be enough for acquiring it – oftentimes, the domain needs to be purchased from another individual who already owns it. This chapter will provide an overview of how you can acquire a domain by providing information on how to transfer the domain after it has been purchased, and the place in which the purchase is done.

The value of a domain depends entirely on what people are willing to spend to get it, and making such a sale isn’t as simple as putting it out there and crossing your fingers. In this chapter we’ll explore how you can go about selling your domain and even take a look at some record-breaking domain sales.

If you can't value what you're negotiating for, you can't negotiate well. The first step is building the appraisal skills to determine what a domain is actually worth. Every strategy that follows depends on that number.

It is in domain flipping that a strategy can yield profits through the purchase of under-valued domains and their sale at multiple times their purchase value. This is the chapter which gives you the master class on how this art can be perfected by acquiring expired domains as well as forming portfolios which multiply profits instead of draining them.

Have your number? Then you're ready to negotiate. This chapter shows you how to make an offer that gets accepted without overpaying, including how the brokerage industry works and the tactics large companies use when acquiring premium domains.
