Anyone with home base internet marketing businesses can use expired domain names as a way to make some money as long as you find one with decent traffic. It doesn't take long and you can get monthly income coming in right away.
How much does it cost
Buying expired domain names can vary in cost. Most of the time you can buy a good domain name for about $60-75. With that kind of low investment it is easy to make that a profit. You can of course find domains that will cost you more, but especially when you are starting out I don't suggest it.
How can you make money
There are a couple ways that you can make money from buying expired domain names.
The first is to redirect that name to your existing website. This works great when you buy a domain name that is in your niche and if you have a website that you use for either list building or promoting products.
A second way to make money is to buy a domain name and then resell it.
This usually means you are going to hold that name for awhile...and while you are holding it you are going to make money from the third method.The third way to make money with expired domain names is to park them. In this case you don't have to be in a particular niche, you just redirect the name to a parking company and you collect money from that company. The build a site and put some ads on it and whenever somebody clicks on one of the ads, you make some money.
How long does it take
Redirecting a domain name is really fast and easy to do. If you already have a website you probably know how to do this. If you have done any affiliate marketing where you buy a domain name then you have definitely already gone through the steps and you know how easy it is.
So whether you are redirecting to your own website or to a parking company it really takes about two clicks.
Let's say the domain is registered with GoDaddy. Of course the process would be really similar with whatever registration company you are using. Within your account there is a place where you can change the Host Records or the DNS Records.
In the case of parking, you enter in the name server of the parking company you are using.
Bam! That's it.
Now the very first time of course you will have to set up an account with a parking company but that doesn't take long either...really a couple minutes to set up an account. You can do a Google search to find the companies. There are a ton of them out there. They are really competitive...which is a good thing for you because they are competing for your business.
Some of the sites are more user friendly than others...so look at them and see what looks good to you. Some will have higher or lower payouts. What I suggest is you start with one and get a baseline. Then you can always move your site to another parking company.
So it is really that quick. Once you have set up your account with the parking company you can have everything done in a matter of minutes. You register your domain for around $60-75. You redirect the name to the parking company. That's how home based internet marketing businesses can easily and inexpensively profit from expired domain names.
