Another way to make money with Domain Names
 
1) Get a Domain Name that is "Specific and Special" to a "Category". A "Catchy" name that indicates THIS "Business or Profession" is "THE TOPS" in Town.
Ex: "SalemAccountant.com"....or "SalemDentist.com"...or "SalemChiropractor.com"....or "SalemRealtor.com"..."SalemHotTubs.com....etc. ..

2) Set up a 1 Page website WITH some "sample content" about the Category AND...some PHOTOS showing people in THAT category, doing their thing.
"SalemAnimalHospital.com"...some content and a PHOTO of a Vet holding an animal.
Note: The Sample Photos are replaced by actual photos you take.

3) Find the businesses in each Category that ALREADY have a website. Send a Sales Letter to those businesses telling them that YOUR SITE...with it's Unique, Catchy, Easily Remembered NAME....can also have a LINK, to their existing site.

Mention that this "Site and Unique Domain" are available to ONLY ONE in that Category....on a first-come-first-served basis.

4) A fee of $250 setup and $150 a month....is what has been received.

Yet Another Little Twist.
 
Yet Another Little Twist.

I’ve found that a lot of those domain names are already taken. But what about this
http:www.BestCarDealerInSpokane.com (go and see it, I set one up real quick for a demo) only one dealership has the right to be called the best in Spokane. Put a write up about them, some customer testimonies and a link to their website and inventory.

Then send out 20 letters to 20 different dealers (auto dealers are just one industry of hundreds you can target) telling them about it and the first dealer to respond gets it for a nice fee. They can use in advertising and get to be known as the “Best Car Dealer In Spokane”. There are lots of these domain names available.

More Twisted...
 
Great ideas!
And how about TheWorstOfYourCity.com

You could have it set up in categories or word clouds and
let disgruntled folks 'nominate' the worst car dealer, boy friend,
pizza, etc.

Best of Success,
Stephan

Re: Another way to make money with Domain Names
 
On GoDaddy, they have this thing where they place advertising on your unused domain names (ones that are just parked) and they pay you 80% of any revenue generated. Even on 100 domain names; it's only peanuts.

Other then building websites for all of these unused domain names, is there a better way to make a little cash off of them?

Best Regards,

"Chicks" got no money!" And, dey got other things, more important to them than a website with a Unique Domain Name.

I'd rather make up a 1-page site for a Chiropractor who already has a site (JohnsonChiropracticClinic.com) .....send him a note saying my 1-page site with a "powerful" Domain Name can bring more traffic to his existing site...and he can have this site for X$ a month.

Re: Another way to make money with Domain Names
 
Its not only neccessary to have a catchy Domain name; but, you must have great content as well. You can attract attention with a great domain name but what about keeping potential customers on your page? Your content is very important. It should represent what you have to offer.

Hello,

Adding quality content to your one page website is no problem. There are a ton of article directories on the web with loads of content on almost any subject. As long as you keep the author's (bio box)name in the article you can post it on your one page site for free. If you want to take it a step farther you can place adsense on your site for additional income.


Regards,

Paul H.

Just curious as I think this idea as a whole is pretty good, but how does a "powerful domain name" with generic content generate traffic for someone?

I suppose businesses might want to have this site and special domain name to keep their competitors from having it, but if I were the business owner I'd have a hard time paying for a site that didn't provide me with real value.
