Domain investing is not a get rich quick idea. The domain investors who have enough money or have the expertise build algorithms and finding and buying domains. But for the casual or starter domainer you have to use research. A real domainer looks to find generic keywords that haven't been purchased yet. A low life domainer that gives domain investing a bad name is one who buys up trademarked domains or domains (www.michaeljacksonisgreat.com) and expect to sell them for a huge sum. A veteran domainer wont touch a trademarked domain because they will most likely lose it in the long run.

Domain flipping can be purchasing a domain and already having an investor in mind to sell it to within days. As you begin to invest in domains you normally acquire a list of investors that you know. Keep them in mind when purchasing a domain.

STAY AWAY FROM EBAY. If you would like to look like a new and unprofessional investor go to eBay. There is sedo, afternic, snapnames, godaddy, namepros, and many others. The individuals give the security a buyer is looking for. I only go to eBay to snatch a undervalued domain name and always require an escrow to be used.
