subject: Secure Your Retirement Fund Through Monetizing Domains [print this page] If you're looking at securing your retirement nest egg now, monetizing domains should be one of your best options. This business is similar to real estate investing because it involves buying a keyword name with income potential, developing it into a thriving website and then reselling it later for thousands of dollars to another business that needs it.
Income benefits
High liquidity
Domains are readily bought and sold on the Internet. What makes domaining more attractive to investors is the low capitalization requirement because all you need to start this business is at least $10. High value names that you can immediately resell are often generic or non specific as well as the misspellings of popular ones. Domains of websites with high traffic and an existing income stream can even fetch thousands of dollars in the secondary market.
Passive income
The ideal retirement nest egg consists of various sources of passive income, which is money that you continue to receive even without working. Domains make great sources of passive income when you automate it to generate sales so you can earn even while you sleep. All you need is to build a site around the domains, add fresh content regularly, optimize it and promote or sell products on its pages.
Not a get rich quick scheme
Buying domains per se will not make you rich and flipping is not a get rich quick scheme. Unless the name you buy has an immediate cash value as in the case of generic words, you will need to spend time and effort in adding value to the names you acquire before monetizing domains.
The value of your online property depends on two key metrics: site traffic and revenue. Owners of offline businesses, other Internet sites and competing websites often buy names that are generating high amounts of site traffic and good cash flow. But you need to focused enough to take domain name action because it takes time to generate traffic and sales.
A collection of thirty to a hundred names will take a lot of hard work and time devoted to monetizing domains which busy Internet marketers and businessmen don't have the luxury of sparing. The extra time required to age websites is best spent on existing businesses with good earnings or relaxation. Your best solution is to leave all the hard work to a service that is equipped to do the look after it all from you, including:
1. install your domains to your server
2. install Wordpress and a flexible SEO theme
3. install Akismet code if necessary add keywords and a ping list if possible,
4. add the affiliate banners of your choice
5. install Platinum SEO tools submit the sites to search engines for indexing
6. post a regular supply of quality content
Internet marketers and enterprising businessmen have already been monetizing domains and earning thousands of dollars from it. You don't need to be an expert at flipping to enjoy the rewards of domain flipping because by taking domain name action and outsourcing the hack work, you can continue to focus on the things you enjoy or which make the most money.
