📖 The Hustle
Hand-register brandable domain names for $8-12 each at Namecheap or Porkbun. Focus on short (6-10 character), pronounceable, made-up words that sound like they could be a startup: names like 'Zilvo.com' or 'Truviq.com'. List them on Afternic, Sedo, and GoDaddy Auctions for $200-2,000. Companies pay for short, memorable names when they launch. Build a portfolio of 20-30 domains. Most will not sell, but one $1,500 sale pays for the entire portfolio.
🚀 First Step
Use a domain name generator like Looka or Namelix to brainstorm 10 brandable names, check availability on Namecheap, and register the best 3 for under $30 total.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Six to eight-letter brandable names are the sweet spot — short enough to remember, long enough to be unique
- List every domain on Afternic Fast Transfer and Sedo MLS to maximize exposure
- Only buy .com domains — other extensions rarely sell for significant profit in brandable flipping
