New Design/Domain Investing Podcast Launch Lots going on here at Bloggings of a Domain Flipper. Yesterday I launched The Domain Investing Podcast which can be found at: DNInvesting.net. Today I started work on a new, cleaner, version of the blog. I felt that the blog was starting to look a bit cluttered so am working on a new design to make it a bit easier on the eyes.

Domain Name Investing Podcast Goes Live In an effort to create more educational resources for new domainers I have decided to create a podcast focused on Domain Name Investing. Hopefully this will help gain awareness around domain name investing and inspire new domainers. Initially I'll try to create new episodes twice a month with the potential to increase the frequency b...

Latest Flip: StimulusChecks.info With all the buzz around the government's latest plan to stimulate the economy everyone is readily awaiting their stimulus checks. I noticed a post on DNForum about great revenue generated by StimulusChecks.com so decided to see what other TLD's were available. I found that StimulusChecks.info was available so thought it would ...

Flip of the Month: HotelCritic.us So I've decided to try something different with the Flip of the Month this month. Last month I provided a site in its early flipping stage. This month I've decided to provide a domain name with very high flip potential - HotelCritic.us. This domain has very high potential as a forum, blog, directory site - you name it, this has great...

Fusu - Investing for the Domain Inclined I haven't talked about Fusu on my blog yet and with the market growing quickly I thought now would be an excellent time to make a quick post about it.
For those of you who have been living under a domaining rock - Fusu is essentially a stock market for domain names. Domain owners can sell a percentage of their domain (or the enti...

Trust - More than meets the Eye As an active member of DNForum I communicate with dozens of people each week. Our company uses this forum right now to find talented developers to create some of our mini-site flips.
One thing I've learned over time is that trusting people in the digital world should be taken with far more caution than many might think. In your eve...

I hope these three days of flipping have helped to inspire others to jump on the domain flipping bandwagon. If not then maybe you can at least find a good gym or club in New York City, or become an exper...

OnlineTravelTips.info - One Day Left To Claim So far no takers for OnlineTravelTips.info so I've decided to open it up to bidding. Please send your offers to morgan@thedomainflipper.com.
I'm still confident that selling one of my flips each month is a great way to help new domainers get started with monetized domains. It has also been one of the number one requests made by m...

3 Days of Domain Flipping To end April with a Bang I thought I'd debut some of my latest flips. These were all done by TechReform with some of my newest domain acquisitions. Like I've said in a number of previous posts - rather than doing the work yourself you can contract it out and save something very valuable - your time.
I'm in Florida right now, sitti...

The Diversified Domainer With so much emphasis on developing domains now I think it is important to take a look at the bigger picture. For those of you who read my blog regularly you know that I have been a huge proponent of developing your domains. At the same time I employee a variety of different strategies to monetize my domains. It's important to unders...

New .info Domains I've had some great results with .info domains lately. I discovered that if I can get good keywords and put-up a mini-site with real content that people are looking for, they can get some solid traffic. Since GoDaddy is having a sale now - $0.99 for any .info name I thought I'd see what was still available.
Now I don't think .inf...

Work Smarter Not Harder I read a book before starting college with the title, "Work Smarter Not Harder." I thought it made a great point - sometimes if you take a step back, the solution to your problem is easier than you might think. With the Domaining world officially in what I like to call "Freak-Out Mode" I think it's time we all take a step back.
So...

Domaining 2.0: Welcome to a Brave New World The most common advice about stock investing is, "You have to be diversified." The same is not true for domain names. It is always better to have a portfolio of great .com's than of great .net's and .org's. As domainers we know that a great keyword .com is as valuable as that keyword can get. The only reason to diverisfy the TLD of y...

The evolution of your domain I received a great comment from one of my readers. In the comment, Jamie Parks describes the 8 steps from registration to development. I thought this was a great view of the evolution of your domain so thought it would be great to post it for all to read:
The more I look at the evolution from domain registration to development of...

Blogs and Domain Flipping Blogs can play an essential role in domain flipping and oftentimes give the edge you need to get excellent search engine rankings. It may seem like a simple concept but a blog is by far the fastest way to create a quick webpage. It also happens to be one of the best mechanisms for easily providing fresh content - which search engines...

The Domain Flipping Process Explained I've had a number of new domainers ask me about the process of flipping a domain. While making a website is one thing, flipping a domain is a much more involved task. There are three main steps I take each time I flip a domain.
The first part of a domain flip is research. Websites like NameBio and DNJournal should always be in you...

By Popular Request: The Flip of the Month I've an overwhelming number of requests for me to post some of my flipped domains for sale through my blog. So I've decided to post one flipped domain a month from now on. Each month, along with the domains I flip to make money with myself, I will offer one flip months earlier than usual for sale. So, for our first flip we have:Onlin...

Is the sky really falling? These are times of crisis - the Snowe bill could be the end of parking as we know it. I have been reading blogs, forum posts, emails all talking about the end of the domaining world. If your domaining livelyhood has been based on parked pages, there is a chance that your sky might be falling. As a Domain Flipper, the sky is still the...

Domain Forum Auctions I've been talking a lot about custom parking pages lately. These pages offer a huge benefit over traditional parking pages, but take the time to build the page, create the graphics, and add the advertisements.
I have decided to put one of our recently built custom-parking pages up for auction on DNForum. The domain for sale is Do...

Latest Custom Parking Pages If you've read my book then you know that Domain Flipping is a two-step process. First it is essential to get good organic traffic coming to your name. A standard parking page can't get the job done because they index very poorly with search engines. Building a custom parking page allows you to build-up a base-level of traffic and re...

Buying a Domain? How to avoid being scammed. As the domaining industry becomes more popular scam artists find a growing market to profit from. With a growing number of places to buy domain names how can you make sure you're really getting the deal you think you are?
If you are buying through a major listing service like Afternic, Sedo or Snapnames then the chance of fraud is g...

Sedo Pro - Domainers Beware As you most likely have heard by now - Sedo is offering a new parking service called Sedo Pro. Targeted towards "Domain Professionals", rather than just accepting any old domain they want to know about your portfolio and the kind of traffic your names receive.
With any new service I like to see the first round of reports b...

Domain Graduate - An Essential Book for your Library I had the chance to read Sean Stafford's new book, Domain Graduate recently and was very impressed. There are a very limited number of resources in the domaining community and this is one of the most complete resources I've ever found.
Just so you know, this is not a shameless plug for the book - on this blog I have always put my...

.in - The Sleeper TLD of 2008 .in has been around for a bit now and I'm still finding some great .in and .co.in names. It has become difficult to know where to place your bets with so many TLD's on the market right now. I hear a lot of buzz on the forums about .us and .info, and .Asia is all over the place with it's Landrush getting ready to end.
So what's so ...
