ONE MANS RISE FROM DOMAIN FLIPPER TO MILLIONAIRE

One Mans Rise From Domain Flipper to Millionaire Deal Maker

For those who wonder if it is still possible to make it big with domains, Howe replies with an emphatic Yes!

In fact, he says the basics really haven't changed much at all. "In many ways, this feels like 2003 all over again," Howe said. "The same types of things I was doing then I'm still doing now with the same rewards - so I guess I should keep doing it!"

Just as he did four years ago, Howe puts in long hours researching purchases that he believes have a good chance of producing profits down the line through resale, domain monetization or development.

The only difference now is that after years of continually reinvesting his profits and "trading up" he is in a position to buy and sell more valuable domains.

This is the previously untold story of how Howe discovered the domain business and went on to become one of the industry's key players.

PRIVACY VERSUS PROFIT?

PRIVACY VERSUS PROFIT?

Last month, Charter Communications, an Internet service provider, put forward a plan to monitor its users' activities online in order to sell more targeted advertising.

If Charter gets its way, and you're one of its customers, what you do on the Internet — searches, e-mail, reading sports scores, whatever — will determine which ads are sent to you.

That means Charter could be watching everything users do online, a fact that really bothers Ari Schwartz, vice president of the Center for Democracy and Technology.

"The Internet service providers are talking about building profiles of their users. So as a condition to get broadband access, they are creating profiles about you for advertising purposes," says Schwartz. "That's a completely different world than what we've been in before."

Country Code Domains

Country Code Domains Are Growing in Popularity

.COM driving growth of Country Code TLDs .COM is driving the growth of country code top level domains, in my opinion.

This past weekend I was looking in the newspaper, checking the domains (as usual) that companies were using in their ads. I saw one company that was using a really nice .ca domain, and I thought they probably couldn't get the domain in .com, but the .ca will work really well for them.

And then it struck me...

It's always been known that as .com domains get taken, other extensions will get used if the term people want is available (like in .ca, .net, .org). But what happens next is also important.

That business that regged the .ca because they couldn't get the .com will now advertise their .ca URL on business cards, tv, radio, newspaper, etc, giving the .ca further credibility in the minds of Canadians.

So as .com becomes less of an option, we have people turning to .ca, then advertising their .ca and creating that awareness and acceptance of the .ca extension.

It's to the point now where if only a .com is taken, Canadians will choose the .ca even if the .net, .org, .info and so on are available. I've even seen a few instances where a .ca name was registered and the .com was still available!

Step 1 - .com is registered, get the .ca (not the .net or .org)

Step 2 - all these businesses advertising .ca and creating acceptance - not to mention all those .ca's used by government we see everyday

Step 3 - Canadian public see .ca domains everywhere, when it comes time for them to need a domain name, .ca becomes a top choice

But that’s chump change compared to the $100,000 per day that domainer Yun Ye was pulling in before he sold his domain portfolio for about $164M in 2004 and subsequently disappeared under the radar.
