It’s really quite easy to create a website, but choosing a domain name, not at all. One has to think a lot, keep in mind several aspects before buying a domain name.
Thinking of being a domainer? As we have seen above the domain names sold at higher prices, it’s quite common to get started doing it.
But it is not a piece of cake, it needs experience and skills, research and lots of luck. Picking a correct domain to sell that in future is not that simple as we might think of.
The market study needs to be done. And we should always go with some simple, short and trendy words.
Everyone would like to have the keyword in the domain. Thinking in the same perspective But yes not impossible.
You can make some money for sure, and if you are lucky enough also could be added to the list as well. haha… Though anything can happen.
