Getting into the domain business is tough. With an average sell-through rate of 1.5%, you need around 100 domains to make a sale if you are just putting up a lander and listing it in the registration pathway. So how would you get started now? Here is how I would do it. The same way I did. You find hand registrations or BIN (Buy It Now) sales and flip them at auctions. Auctions on Atom, NameJet, DropCatch, or Dynadot. One of the advantages Atom has right now is that there are no expiry names, so all the names are grouped together. Same with DropCatch, although it is clearly listed as a private sale. Expiry names, for some reason, tend to go for more, and places like Dynadot keep them in separate buckets. This makes it a little harder to sell.

If I were doing it now, I would be spending hours hunting for a name to buy for $50 and hoping to flip it for $100. That is not a ton of money, but it is profit. If you can do this three or four times a week, it adds up. Plus, you get experience on what types of names sell, essentially learning as you go. When I started, NameJet was great because all the expiry names and regular names were mixed together, and you had no idea which was which. All names were gauged purely on the quality of the name, not how it came to auction. To me, a name is a name, but I respect that most people do not feel that way. That is how it was, and it was great for flipping small names. I did 30 to 40 a month that way. I think I could do it again on Atom if I had to. I have also seen Dynadot really growing, and the number of eyeballs is 10 times what it was a few years ago. Kudos to them as well. All of these auction houses are adding liquidity and opportunity for new domain investors.
