selling domains - better than crypto?

[RiskyStuff]

I have an idea of registering domain names, for example in black hat niche, then growing them and selling.

What % do you think I could charge?

I can handle up to 2 - 3 years. Not a problem. Looking for assets.

It sounds better than growing accounts because you have almost full control over domains.

Thanks for experience based responses.

You have full control over the domains, but essentialy you're still counting on LLMs, social media and search engines to deliver the traffic.

It could be a lower risk, but the time period (2-3 years) makes it almost as risky as social media accounts, isn't it?
Especially since every core update can kick you out of the game.

Are you going to mimic the successful ones from Flippa?

Considering BTC was $109k a week ago and is now $122k, a nice profit in a week, for those trading.


Can you find time to do both?

Yes, but my plan is to make maybe $30 per domain. Not much, really.

The idea is like with accounts.
The issue with accounts is that you have to verify them many times through SMS.
I don't want to rent 1000 numbers.
I'd rather buy 1000 domains.


I want it to do well only on Google. Rank maybe 5 - 10 long tail keywords generating $5 a month.

I believe the risk is very low.
I have worked for people who had that many domains and they did better than those managing accounts on average.

Those who do accounts, usually switch to something like small business because they find it cumbersome with suspensions of accounts

I'm thinking pre-LLMs, but here I don't only have text from LLMs. It's also about backlinks and some other stuff I'd probably find if I just started.

Also, if someone can help me with setting up ads for black hat niche, let me know.

The commissions per user aren't high and it's all keyword based.

I see this as an alternative or an option. I know it's trickier, but if I don't try, I'll never find out.

I think you are talking about Domain flipping , there are several sellers doing this stuff.

They do keyword research , purchase domains and keep them for years. Sooner or later someone will come looking for that domain and purchase from you.

Only the domain which are meaningful , sort , can work as a asset for any business are good.

Sometime people even purchase parked domains which are good , this is a huge market.

I can help you in that , what sort of BH campaign ?

I have an idea of registering domain names, for example in black hat niche, then growing them and selling.

I had this idea years ago, and it will likely work too.

You can only do this with blackhat niches like Casinos or Pharma... personally, I don't know anything else.

Casino owners are buying all sorts of crap domains up... you have no idea with what I am working sometimes, grammar errors in domain names are perfectly fine for them.

Avoid sending any Web 2.0 links - instead, use sites like Trustpilot and Reviews.io only for ORM.

You have full control over the domains, but essentialy you're still counting on LLMs, social media and search engines to deliver the traffic.

It is not about traffic all the time.

Folks in black-hat niches want domains with an established presence... You can fill Trustpilot and other pages up with positive reviews and then sell the domains as aged.

Not sure why he is targeting only $30 tho... a small amount of 10-20 reviews would make those domains worth $300 already.

I thought of mass building networks of domains for game mods, cheats, codes and other things like that.

I am a gamer (not a pro) and it comes with ease for me to talk and understand what gamers want. I suck at playing games, so I used certain cheating solutions myself.

There is really big number of keywords for this and they aren't very competitive. People rank there with spammy links without significant SEO experience.

Casino or pharma are completely different I guess.

I don't know how to monetize pharma. Sell drugs? It's illegal. Affiliate stuff? I haven't seen people talk about it too much beyond Google and FB Ads maybe.

Whatever you mean by pharma, shitloads of perfectly legal supplements available. Lots of aff programs too. You don't need to do illegal drugs, your doctor is pushing drugs on you but it's legal , let's not get too paranoid.

People mean different things.
I've seen people scamming using brand names of opiates.
Then I've seen people selling viagra, cialis.
Then people overselling cosmetics and natural body enhancers. It was advertised like natural steroids but it was a little bit of a lie.
Also mixed herbs are sold. You can make such mix of herbs on your own, buy packagings and put your own price tag on it. I believe advertising it on social media with brand mentions can result in increase of searches on Google for that product.

Marijuana CBD is an interesting thing as it does a lot of things. So it's a universal product you can sell to a wide audience.



Supplements are a little different and I wouldn't call them pharmaceuticals

I'm wondering if selling supplements would work on YouTube. I'm concerned about click through rate. Let's try.
