1. How To Sell Your Website or Domain Name For
Big Money by Dr. Kevin Nunley of DrNunley.com
=====================================================

There's gold in web site domain names. You probably
saw the headlines when business.com changed hands for
$7.5 million. Wine.com went for big bucks, too. And
who can forget when AltaVista had to shuck out
millions to buy their name from the original owner?

On the other hand, you may have surfed some of the
auction sites to find perfectly good domains going
for peanuts. Even $25 seemed like a starting bid no
one wanted to touch.

So how do you cash in on the domain name trading
craze? Here are a few simple tips to get you on the
right track to E-real estate profits.



Finding Good Unclaimed Names
-----------------------------

No doubt about it. It is harder these days to find
killer domain names that aren't taken. A recent survey
showed that of the 25,000 words we commonly use in the
English language, more than 93 percent are already
registered as domain names.

Fortunately, language experts have come up with some
fresh ideas we can use to uncover hidden gems. First
look for short, simple names that instantly tell what
your business is about. The dentist who got
dentalhelp.com had the right idea.

If you can't get the one word that describes you, add a
prefix or suffix onto it. eDental, DentalX, Dental123
are easy to remember.

Some very smart businesses have created previously
unknown words based on the simple term that describes
them. For example, none of us have a problem
remembering Virtualis.com, even though it is a word
that previously didn't exist.

Try combining two words that could describe what a
site does. NameBoy.com specializes in helping people
find good website names. You can also hit pay dirt
by creating a nonsense name from easy-to-remember
sounds.

What words and sounds are easy to remember? Experts
say people recall colors and food (RedPie.com is
already taken..I checked).

Those who know say all these possibilities will work
better than very long domain names, misspelled
versions of words, or several words strung together
with hyphens. In tests, people simply don't remember
those names very well.



Build Value By Building Audience
---------------------------------

These days most websites are valued by the number of
visitors they attract. One common yard stick -- your
domain name is valued at $10 to $30 per hit per day.
If 1,000 people land on your front page each day, your
domain could be worth $10,000 to $30,000.

Another optimistic way of looking at domain values is
each unique visitor you get over the course of a month
is worth $250. If the visitor clicks to a second page
on your site, her presence is worth $500. By this
measure, a site getting only 10 hits per day could go
for $15,000.

This strategy is a lot like the way traditional
businesses have always been sold. The more customers
a store has, the more it is worth to a buyer. That
is a pretty solid way to value domains. It is a model
that is likely to be around for a long time to come.

How can you quickly boost your site's visitors? Start
by focusing on the needs of a specific group. A site
on psychedelic short pants has a better chance of
becoming a hit than a site that hangs their hat on
the very general topic of pants.

A more specific, focused kind of site also does better
with search engines. Indeed, search engines will be
your fastest way of getting lots of eyeballs to your
domain. Read the expert tutorial on getting listed
high on search engines at http://WebMarketingNow.com.



Build Sales and Brand Awareness
--------------------------------

No buyer can resist a domain that is pulling in
whopping sales and has a brand name seared into the
minds of a profitable target audience.

Generally a domain is worth the amount of sales it
creates in a year. If your site pulls down $60,000
this year, you could get that much for your domain
name. CPAs, especially those working with publicly
traded corporations, know all kinds of ways to count
a myriad of transactions (even affiliate commissions)
into cash flow stats.

Boost sales by offering low-cost products that can be
mass produced. If hot demand can be created, you can
sell thousands in no time. You can also rack up big
annual sales by offering a pricey service that appeals
to a lot of people in a specific industry. Higher
prices are almost always the quickest way to double,
triple, and quadruple sales

Finally, work to establish your domain as a
well-known brand name. Much of Amazon.com's
legendary operating expense goes to making their
not-so-common name a household word. You can pull
off brand name awareness at a smaller level by
keeping your ads consistently in important places,
putting your name on key websites, writing articles
that make you look like an expert, and participating
in your industry's major Internet discussion groups.

4. Tip - Making Money - Finding Your Niche
=====================================================

You are concerned about starting a business on
the internet because there are already so many
businesses online. Why would anyone want to
visit YOUR web site? What do you have to offer
that has not been offered?

1. Believe in Yourself
Don't bother going online if you do not
believe that it is possible to succeed.

2. Do your homework
Research the available resources (online
and offline). See what your competition
is doing. See what your competition is
charging.

3. Determine What You Like To Do
What is your niche? Concerned that there
are already a zillion web design companies
online? Why not create a niche? You like
landscaping? Become THE web designer to
the landscapers.

4. Promote your web site to your niche.
Find interested parties offline that would
benefit from your web site. Also, suggest
your web sites to the directories that
specialize in your niche. Exchange links
with other similar, (preferably non-
competing) web sites.

were unable to find last week's Subscriber Link -
http://www.The-eBook-Directory.com. I mistakenly
assumed that this great site (which I used to visit
often) was still in existence. However, it seems,
the owner of the site sold the web site and the
new owner has not revived it yet.

Stay tuned....next week we will tell you what the
former owner of The-eBook-Directory.com is up to
now.
