Ever wonder what you can do with domain names? You can purchase a domain name and use it very easily to make you money without even building a website...

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Some ideas for doamin names to choose
  • Some knowledge of how to use a domain name
  • Some knowledge of internet marketing
  1. Step 1

    The first method is to use a simple redirection tool (link to this tool in resources area at the bottom of article). This tool allows you to create unlimited sub-domains to any page or website that you want. The real page name is never revealed, so if it is an affiliate link, your link is never exposed. There is a yearly fee for this and includes the domain name. It is inexpensive for what you can do with it.

  2. Step 2

    Second method is to create a php website, this type of website populates itself and automatically integrates content depending on your keywords. This is usually a complicated method, but thanks to software, you can create websites with hundreds or even thousands of pages in just hours compared to years. (Link for this in resources area)

  3. Step 3

    Third method is to purchase a domain and create optin pages or squeeze pages. This method is an effective way to build a mailing list as well as introduce people to your affiliate product and capturing their name and email. This also would be a tedious job as well without software, but of course someone made something to make it easier. See the links below to get it.

  4. Step 4

    Fourth method is not to do, don't "park" your domain name, with the methods above you can make your domain earn money, even adsense money. With all of the options out there, you can earn money just by directing your website to an affiliate website.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't forget keywords and meta tags, these tell what your site is all about and leads people to your website
  • Utilize the tools listed in this article, you will make money with them all or even one.
