1. Blogging

Best Blogging Platforms

There are plenty of blogging platforms, where you can get started, here are a few I found the best. These are free and paid, I recommend creating a professional blog.

1. WordPress.org (You need to spend just a few bucks on domain and hosting) – Here is how you can start your blog at one of the finest blogging platforms WordPress.

Some Free Alternatives but limited,

2. WordPress.com – It’s a free platform by WordPress, but the options are quite limited, unlike the above-mentioned wordpress.org which most of the professionals favor.

3. Wix.com – Easy to create a website on Wix, but some challenges you can face by performing the SEO on it. Perfectly suitable for hobby bloggers.

4. Blogger.com – Blogger is also known as blogspot.com. It is Google’s product but with basic limitations. Lack of themes to make your blog beautiful. And less control over your blog. As in any case, google penalizes it, then the whole blog will be removed.

5. Tumblr – Tumblr is a fantastic platform for graphics bloggers. The people who love to create images, videos, memes, etc, or want to brand themselves there,

6. Medium – Medium is one of the platforms which is perfectly suitable for writers. It has a clean interface. But you can not monetize your blog.

If you want to recommend one, then I would say go with WordPress.org and create a blog with full control.

If you want to create a professional blog you must use WordPress. Create a blog on free blogging sites to try it on and when you get some idea of it.. then think about paid sites subsequently.

We need to make sure one thing that the content is high quality and unique. Only if the content is good enough people will like to read it and see ads on the blog.

2. Domain Flipping

Earning money by buying and selling .com domains or other TDLs like .net, .co.uk, or .org domains is becoming very popular, as the efforts are minimal.

It is just like investing in a business; while they run the business you gain money back for your investment. All you have to do is buy domains and put them up for auction.

Though there are some expenses involved in buying domain names they’re not much and you only need to invest as much as you would like to. This makes it quite affordable for anyone.

There are plenty of websites where we can buy domain names at an affordable price like NameSilo, GoDaddy, or NameCheap.

Domain Registrars (my recommendations)
1. GoDaddy
2. NameCheap

Where we can easily buy domain names with minimum investment, in some cases, you have to spend more on expired domains, but those can be easily sold at a higher price as those domains are old so they will have enough authority known as DA(Domain Authority).

It takes just a few minutes to purchase a domain. And you will own it (minimum for a year).

However, there are some risks involved, as there is no guarantee that someone will like to purchase the domain name you have parked for selling. But, here your skills come into the picture.

Pro Tip: always buy a domain name, which others could be interested in buying.

So while purchasing a domain, you should have the intent of a businessman.

For Instance – facebook.com, just assume you had bought this domain earlier. What could be the profit one could be made already? As such companies could be ready to pay any price to get that domain.

For your information, facebook*com has bought the domain from someone for a very high price.

Take a glance, at how much domain flipping could be profitable for you.

Here is the article created earlier at QC of some domains that sold at high prices.

If you have gone through that list, just assume what a huge profit the seller made already out of it. Some risks will always be involved in earning some money.

You should select a domain name that should be trendy, new, simple, and short so that you can get buyers easily for it.

Here are some creative skills required while thinking of a good and exciting domain name. We can get some ideas by browsing the internet.

Just type domain name ideas and you will be able to see a few websites which can suggest a domain name if you are about to purchase the new domain.

There are chances that the good names have already been registered. But still, there would be a lot of domains that might not.

Stay focused and select the unique domain name. Or go for the expired domains as well, which would be easy to sell, as mentioned above it will have authority.

But, yes you might need to pay more to grab it comparatively by buying the new ones.
