Income that you earn even when you are not working, for example, if you create and sell a course you have created.

What you have to do after creating such a system is to make an effort of marketing, you need to spend a small portion of your time to advertise this system or course you have created through different mediums such as Facebook, Instagram, Google Adwords, etc.

Passive Income Method 1 Domain Flipping .

generate passive income

Domain flipping simply means buying domains at a lower price and selling them at a higher price. The difference between prices is your profit.

 The best thing about domain flipping is that it has very low investment and profit can be very huge.

For example car insurance dot com was sold in 2010 at a price of forty nine point seven million dollars($49.7 million).

You can also buy any available domain and you will never know maybe you can sell it at a very higher price.

The most important thing is that you can buy a single domain at just around $10 dollars that means if you can invest 100 to 200 dollars then you will be having 10 to 20 domains.

Now if any one of your domain will be sold at more than 200 dollars then you are  covering the cost of all domains you bought and also getting the profit.

The first thing you need to do is to flip domains is choosing a profitable niche and the best way to do it searching for niches in Google trends and analyze the demands.

Suppose you find that natural remedies for stomach problem is a profitable niche so you should start searching for domain that will be easy to remember.

 This domain research is the base for your success in domain flipping. It is very important to invest your time and energy.

I suggest you always choose.com extension and remember that short domains are usually more preferred. Also, you should try choosing great business names that people might be  searching for.

You have to understand the value of your domain and consider these questions to set its price.

1.Who might buy your domain?

2. How much profit can be earned using that domain?

3.How much money will be invested in advertising the domain?

4.Whether is a large domain business name or small business domain name?

These are some questions you must bear in mind when setting the sale price of your domain.

I will suggest that you understand the business behind the domain and the search about and this way you will be able to set a perfect price at which you should sell that domain.

For instance a local business domain for particular city should not be priced high and international business must have a higher price.

Let look at how you can promote your domain for sale. There are many domain selling site where you can list your domain, but I would recommend flipper.com, sedo.com, hughedomains.com and godday.com because these site have great potentials for buyers and seller.

There also another great way to promote your domains that is join facebook groups in your niche.

Let assume you buy a domain for online  education industry then you should try to join all business groups that are related to education industry if you find any.

Just make sure that these groups are business groups not education group after you confirm the type of group you can promote your domain there and it is not an easy task to get broad domains but if you spend enough time on learning this art then you will succeed.

Note that initially it will be difficult for sure since its new experience but you will master the art. Buying great domains is a skill that will take some time.

You need to have patience, don’t just go and start buying domains it would be better if you study about it through YouTube and blogs then enter into the industry, in other words get knowledge on the industry you want to enter before you take up the task.

Some domains may take years, moths,weeks,days and hours to sell so you have to wait and keep on buying great domains.

Advantages Of Flipping Domains

-No experience needed. You don’t need to have experience to flipping domains as you know is just buying domains and selling them.

-Does not required storage drive.

-No Coding Skills needed. You don’t have to know website coding or skill often people think that they cannot enter into web business if they don’t have coding skills. Practically, you don’t need to have coding skills before starting selling domains

-It is time consuming. Since you cannot start buying and selling domains just like that, you have to do proper research having prospective buyer in your mind.

Ideas On Profitable Domain Flipping.

If you want to buy domains for a specific geographical location then it must have the name of the location like New York dot com or in landlord dot com.

Also if you want to buy domains for online learning platform in general then I suggest  use “quality” word in the domain if possible” like qualitytesing.com if you want to teach testing skills, or quality12.com if you want to teach students.

If you domain buying will be from technology  then  search for current technologies.

Buying domains for future events will also mean that  searching for previous events and the websites for those events.

 For example, you can check previous Olympics event website to understand what type of domain names that are registered  by Olympic organizers, you can buy similar domains and try to connect with organizers to close the deal.

This ideal is not restricted to Olympics only there are many events that happen around the world.

 Also, you can search for industry wise trends in Google search trends then buy the domains that you think is more likely to be in demand.

YouTube is similar to blogging just like blogs YouTube videos should have a highly quality content.

 Let us also note that if your thumbnails are good looking but your content is of low or average quality then people won’t invest time on your video therefore your channel views will be reduce  and you are more likely to fail.
