Domain Resellers Worth It?

I've had a bunch of friends try resellers and none of them seem to make any money. Are these things really worth it? If they are which one should I do?

Thanks a bunch everyone.

I like Wild West Domains. The market is however extremely competitive, so it takes very hard work and patience to become profitable. This is not a "Get rich quick" business.

It is best if you have an existing client base you can offer domain and hosting services to. For example, if you are a web designer and have existing customers, you can add domain and hosting services to your product portfolio.

If however you are starting without any client base, it will be difficult and you will incur losses initially if you decide to proactively market your products and services. And if you don't market them, you will not have anybody sign up.

That was very informational. Thats a great way to make some money. The only thing is, is the competition, like you said.
I may want to start doing this also.

thanks a lot buddy for the info

I was lucky. I have been able to grab some nice "Domain Name" domains. Some of these are type-ins which generate traffic on their own.

A few of the domains I have include:

SiteDN.com
SiteDomains.com (I actually grabbed this one for $100.00 within the past 6 months)
w3DN.com
w3DomainNames.com
WebsiteDomains.US

And some others, as well. It's nice to allow yourself to do business with your own business to promote your business.

I am selling some like:
DomainPerfection.com
DomainPerfections.com

I may develop:
Domainating.com
Domainance.com
Domainants.com
...as a site if I don't sell them.

Domain reselling is really a saturated market but it is worth considering if you buy atleast 100 domains a year.

DirectI gives good reseller rates once you have $1499 deposited. They will refund your money if you plan to cancel your account.
