  1. Steve says:

    Good interview in spite of the audio problems. Short and to the point. Adam just gave anyone who wants to buy and sell domains, or just buy better names for their adsense sites, the exact steps you need to take.

    I have learned a lot from Adam and I can tell you, he is the real deal.

    Domainers could take some tips from Trent as well and turn their domain names into income producing assets.

    Thanks,

    Steve McKnight

  2. Matthew says:

    Amazing interview. This guy is incredible… And giving out h details!! Wow

  3. steve s says:

    Thank you for the podcast. I have been buying and building out domains for a while and have been interested in learning more about domaining but didn’t really know where to start.

    I have some sites I was thinking about selling on Flippa but now I’m wondering if they are worth more selling the domain instead.

    good interview. I listened to a podcast with a big domainer in australia and he was talking about how guys use software for screening thru available names, there huge conference just for domainers,etc…that it sounded a little intimidating to compete with the scale that many domainers operate at in that industry. Knowing how hard it is to find EMD without a modifier it was interesting to hear there are still new domains with EMD that still are out there especially in the scale that Adam mentions(thousands domains)

    I guess its like any online specialty though it takes time to gain knowledge but I always wondered how guys that have those premium domains listed in godaddy come up with their pricing.

  5. Adam Dicker says:

    @ Brian,
    Anyone can get a domain name premium listed with Go Daddy, you go into your domain control center and search for the domains you want listed, then select them and hit the ‘cash in’ button on the menu, then select premium listings, check the box that says autorenew and complete the purchase path. It’s Free to list them but Go Daddy takes 30%, so list them 30% higher than what you want to get out of the. I hope that helps.

  6. Adam Dicker says:

    @ Steve S, Flippa is a decent option for websites, they just have alot of fraud. As a seller you are much safer. But use an escrow service to make sure you get paid like escrow.com.

  7. Adam Dicker says:

    @ Matthew, Thank you very much.

    There are plenty of good .com’s still available because I register about 1000-3000 new ones every week.

    @ Steve McKnight,

    Thank you very much for your kind words.

    • @Adam – I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering what tools you use to register than many per week? What is the selection criteria? What happens after you purchase them? If you are interested in contributing a guest post to answer some of these questions, that would be terrific!

      Thanks,
      Trent

  8. Aaron says:

    Great podcast, it sounds cool to be out there hustling for these domains but doesn’t quite strike me as a source of income that ill work longterm unless you have a good deal of capital to start with. I mean anyone has to start somewhere and its always possible to start from nothing but I feel like if you want to make any real moves toward a sustainable income you need to be involved in turning over those big money domain names.

  9. John says:

    A very interesting podcast Trent. I had no idea you could make that much money selling a domain. I’d be interested to know if Adam buys the .net, .org, .info, etc. as well. What about the domain name with dashes? It would seem to me that if he didn’t, the purchaser wouldn’t be willing to pay so much for the .com.

    Thanks

  10. Harlan Yee says:

    Another informative podcast on another way to make an income online. Trent, you’re opening up lots of possibilities for us readers! I’m busy enough building my Adsense and Niche Video Tycoon sites that I will have to revisit this idea some time in the future!

    • Hey Harlan,

      Yes, please stay focused on just one thing! I publish interviews like this because I know that not everyone has yet to choose a strategy and this is yet another viable one.

  11. Fede says:

    Trent, great podcast.
    The domain selling model looks very interesting (it has some “too good to be true” features) but I got more attracted to Adsense and Video Tycoon bss models.
    Thanks

  12. Jon says:

    Interesting interview. I’d be interested to know if you guys think it is worth investing in .co domains?

  13. Justin says:

    Fantastic interview! I was especially impressed by the contact info @ the end. @ 5:15 I thought someone was trying to contact me on Skype, lol.

  14. Danelle Horne says:

    Thank you…

  15. Gerry says:

    Trent – I’m new to your site and by the looks of it, I need to stick around and check it out further….lots of good stuff here!

    Adam – Great interview – I learn something new each time I hear you speak or read something that you wrote. Thanks for all the advice and sharing your insights.
