Domain investing and speculation has been around a long time. Domainers have been trying to snatch up and sell so many domains that a huge industry has sprung up around it and domain buying and selling is a full time job for some of us. The domain market can have some sweet payoffs if you have the right talents and foresight to grab the right domains when you can.

As an example this website cam about as an idea in the domain forums at NamePros.com when someone announced Microsoft had a new project comingzune and I jumped on the bandwagon and scored some Zune domains. I have quite a few great Zune domains that all point to this website and help in our search engine and internet marketing efforts.

I have my own custom set of tools that I developed for use in prospecting domains and I do ok with the large number of domains I secured in 2003. each year since i have sold off an increasingly larger number of domains and each year the prices have been mind boggling. I sold two domains just yesterday for a total of over $5,000US to an Israeli investor in the moving and relocation industry. He purchased two top keyword .org domains and should be able to recoup his investment by the end of the year with proper planning and development.

The domain industry is now loaded with websites offering domain tools and investment tips on how to buy and sell domains but be wary of anyone trying to turn you onto this business. All the good domains are boiught up and traded around regularly. You can try to play the dropped domains game like so many others do or you can become a sitebuilder as many domainers should.

Websites like i Go Mogul offer some great advice on how the domain industry operates and would be a great resource for anyone just starting in the domain investment markets. Before you get to wrapped up in making money buying and selling domains take a look at the information they offer and see how it may help you before you make a mistake that costs you.

For me I made a huge profit on a domain which has cost me less than $40 to own. It’s my intellectual property for sale and I was happy to make such a great return on it. Domain
