Instead of buying and flipping domains, or buying and doing nothing with domain names, you can build significant value into your domain name portfolio by developing the domain names into mini-sites. Brian Diener has not only done it, but he’s done it successfully for himself and his clients.

Have you received an email from someone interested in purchasing a domain name you own? Do you feel like you’re in the dark on how to respond to an end-user?

And the seller will only receive the compensation for the domain name once it has been transferred to the buyer.

The secret applies to brandable domain names, like flickr or Google or Disqus.
