Personal Trainer Domain Names – 3 Tips to Making Great Money With Domain Names

How much is your domain name worth? If you closed your business tomorrow would you be able to sell your domain?

I bet you probably never even thought about it. Most people don’t. Here’s why you should…

Domain names can sell for hundreds, thousands, even millions of dollars. Granted you had to be real early in the domain buying game to have scooped up a diamonds.com (sold for 7 million) However, internet domains are sold like real estate, they can be flipped, appreciate, depreciate, and sold for big dollars.

I own a few that hold some descent value. (225 in total) The most I have been offered to date is $2000 though I have not actively promoted any of my domain names. On this particular one I’m holding out because it is worth more.
So how do you know what your domains are worth? Here are a few key tips…

1. How clickable is your personal trainer domain name? Meaning if you sold it, would someone be able to use it? If your domain name was an ad, would you want to click on it?

Ex. JoesPersonalTraining.com This domain name may be good for joe, but it would not hold a lot of value in the open market. In contrast, something like www.personaltraining.com holds much more value.

2. Does the domain get traffic? People love to buy domain names that already get traffic. It means that they are probably in google’s index and that they have the potential for better search engine rankings. Domain names without traffic are like billboards on dirt roads with no passing cars. There are many exceptions to this rule and most of my domain names don’t have traffic or a website even and they are still valuable. If you have a great domain name, it doesn’t have to have traffic to be worth a lot of money.

3. Are all the good domain names taken? I have to admit it seems like all the great domain names are taken, but that’s not the case. You just have to be a little creative and sometimes lucky. Less than 1 yr ago I was able to purchase (register) a great domain name … www.ThePerfectWeddingDress.com

Now come on, what woman would not click on an ad with that domain name. There are plenty of geeks I mean people like me that stay up to the wee hrs of the morning trying to think of new domain names. I look at it as a lottery ticket, it only costs $8 to register a domain name. If you can flip that domain name for a couple grand or more I’d say it is worth it

Let’s look at my wedding domain and a few of the factors I mentioned earlier.

Is it highly clickable? YES

Would I be able to sell it to just about anybody? YES

Will it stand the test of time? YES

So if you are interested, bidding starts at 5k. Just kidding, no im not?

I have spent many a late nights on godaddy racking my brain for great new domain names. Do I recommend you deprive yourself of sleep, or break up your marriage over domain name addictions, of course not. In fact, you should probably spend the extra time growing your existing business. But if you ever have an idea for a new domain name, personal trainer related or not, go to godaddy and see if it is available.

Best of Luck!
