Complete Domain Flipping Walkthrough
November 19, 2008 Posted by Tyler CruzA few days ago I did a paid review post titled A Timesaving Site for Domain Flippers in which the site in question was a domain listing aggregator. In the review I discussed domain flipping and how I felt it was one of the easiest ways to making money online.
To my surprise, several people commented asking just what exactly domain flipping was and how to go about it. Therefore, I created this in-depth walkthrough tutorial which gives a pretty good overview of the domain flipping process as well as a plethora of tips from my past experience when I used to do domain flipping.
I apologize in advance for the low quality audio. I had tried saving the screencast as a WMV file before uploading to reduce the file size but the audio suffered. Also, about halfway into the video, Notepad is cut off partially so I apologize for that as well.
I hope those of you who are not already familiar with domain flipping found the screencast useful. If you liked the video, please take 5 seconds to Digg this post, thanks!
On my very first domain flip I had some solid success. I made $50 for just 1 hours work. However, after that I had multiple failures which turned me off domain flipping.
Maybe I should get back into it
Great video, with a lot of insight. Particularly liked the heads up of justdropped.com and developing my own a format for a sales post in a forum. I can see how domain flipping would take a lot time digging through all the domains, and then investigating them for flip-ability. After all that you still have to sell them.
One question I had on copyright or trademarks like tomclancy.org or your previously owned wrestlemania domain, have you had experience selling this back to the primary name holder? Offering the domain to Tom Clancy or the WWE for a profit?
When I get a free hour I’ll take a look. Domain flipping scares me a bit because of what I don’t know. Anything that I don’t research first always scares me.
Thanks Tyler!! I really liked the video and it was great to see firsthand how you used to do this in your past. BTW can you appraise my domain for me?? jk
Thanks a lot for this video, it got me into domain flipping. Very informative, please do more tutorial videos in the future.
ALthough I’m not into domain flipping, I watched the video anyway. It’s good to learn something new
Back in the late 90’s I had a domain saledepartment.com, which was appraised at $40K, which at that time I thought was a joke and totally did not believe these appraisers! A couple years later I was on a long vacation, without email, time came to renew and I lost it
Thanks for the post

Is this video worth 51 Minute of my life? Is it good? Could we get a summary?
[…] Complete Domain Flipping Walkthrough – I don’t read Tyler’s blog as I do others, but this one actually struck my eye. Not the average post as it is on video, it is a great walkthrough of the whole domain flipping. Probably as good as some guides sold around, but yeah a really decent guide that I liked. A nice one and I am sure a few of you like the idea of domain flipping so you’ll check it out. […]
