Domains For Sale – Ins and Outs

By admin On July 18, 2010 No Comments

When starting an online business there are many ways you can go about it.  You can buy your own domain, from scratch, or you can get  domains for sale that already have a website and traffic built in.  If you choose the later option, it’s important to do your homework so you don’t overpay for the website.

Just like in the ‘real world’ you can make money flipping websites.  People do it all the time.  If you want to profit from someone else’s work, you only have to look as far as the nearest website auction site such as GoDaddy.com or Flippa.com.  There you will find a list of websites that someone else has taken the time to build and grow and hopefully has a steady stream of traffic and has made money from it.

Now you may ask yourself, if this person is making money with their site why would they sell it?  The reason it that this is the way a lot of people actually make money online, they make more from selling the site than they would by keeping it. Or, they just don’t want to hold on to a particular site, or they want to make some quick cash.  If you do your due diligence you can pick up a great niche site, with decent traffic and maybe even some good links for very little money.  And the best part is that it is turn key.  You don’t have to do much since it’s already set up and profitable.

It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and overpay for a site, but if you do that than it will take you longer to be profitable, or you might just get taken completely and never make money from a certain site.  To be sure you don’t do this it’s important that you verify all income claims the person is making about their site.  At a minimum they should provide you with screen shots showing their traffic counts, and their monetization efforts.

Many of the bigger flipping sites will have fairly strict guidelines that need to be followed by anyone who is listing a website for sale, these can help protect you but ultimately you are responsible for protecting yourself.

Take some time to do your own research into the niche that the website is centered around.  How many products are for sale in this niche?  Go to Amazon.com and do a search for the precise niche items to see how popular they are. Check to see how many customer reviews each product has (this will give you an idea of how passionate the people in this niche are about the product, more reviews typically means more passion, and more sales).

Go to the website yourself, look around.  What is your first reaction to the site?  All of these things will help protect you from making a bad purchase.  Most sites that sell websites will have fairly extensive training materials to walk you through the process, I highly recommend that you take some time to check them out first, that is step one when trying to find great, profitable domains for sale.

Article Marketing Tricks of the Trade That Work

Guidelines For Writing Effective Email

Email has revolutionized correspondence. But frequency of use and ease of transmittal have introduced a whole new set of problems for business concern. Employees are sending unneeded information to disinterested masses and copying others needlessly. To save time they are writing rapidly, using poor grammar, undecipherable shorthand, vague subject lines, (if any) and failing to pause for as much as a quick edit before striking the Send button. Consequently companies are being plagued by sloppy work, poor communications and lost time. To stop this downwards spiral, it is imperative that everyone in the organization learns to write effectively with the reader in mind. Messages should be crisp, clear and concise. The following five suggestions, in the form of an acronym spelling the word EMAIL, will provide a guideline for improving electronic communications.

1. Edit the message before you send it. The reputation of the organization is at stake. Speed does not justify sloppiness. Use upper and lower case. Punctuate properly. Double-space paragraphs. Communicate clearly, indicating the action that you want the reader to take.

2. Make your writing live. Let a positive attitude filtrate your message. Be brief, but neither blunt nor boring. Avoid the passive voice, clichés, lingo, acronyms and gobbledygook. Use action verbs. Vary the length of sentences. Double space and number any points being made. And keep the message to one screen if possible. Write to verbalize, not to impress.

3. Always add any attachments before you address the e-mail. Most people have forgotten to include the attachment at one time or another. Guard against an fidgety trigger finger by writing the e-mail before adding the address. This will also give you the opportunity to edit the message before sending it.

4. Identify yourself and the topic up front. Set your options so your full name and e-mail address appear in the From line. Use a subject line that accurately identifies the topic of the e-mail. And put the most important information in the first paragraph. Your objective is to get the reader to open your e-mail, read it and act upon it.

5. Limit each e-mail message to one topic only. You will have fewer problems writing a synchronic subject line and the message will be easier to file. It may also get a faster response.
