There are various ways in which one can make money from "Domain names". They include: Parking, Leasing, Selling and typo. This is how it works. If you have the premonition that a domain name would be hot in the future market, You can acquire the domain name for as little as $10 from any of the domain acquisition websites around the internet. DOMAIN PARKING The domains can now be "Parked". By parking, I mean registering the domain name in one of the tons of parking websites around. These websites could place ads on the domain and if you have regular visitors to the domaain, then you can make money from the adverts made on the domain before you decide to sell the domain off. DOMAIN LEASING This is similar to "Domain Parking", but in this case you are paid when you lease out your domain to websites to place numerous ads on it. The amount of lease paid to you depends on the amount of traffic already generated from the domain name. So a hot domain name would earn more lease than others. DOMAIN SELLING This is the where you can get the greatest earnings of all. A domain that is bought for as low as $10 can be sold for thousands of dollars depending on negotiation. domains like "www.dollars.com," "www.wallstreet.com" all sold for Mega sums, so you can imagine if you were the initial owners of such domains.
