Buying and selling domains is a hard market to enter into (because of the lack of great domains) but making money using keyword rich domains for building mini niche sites is a whole lot easier, with the right niche and a decent amount of traffic you can do well.

So I know everybody who visits my blog is most likely a reader of John Chow dot com as well and have been following his blogging experiment over the past few months. I have seen so many mini John Chow sites pop up over the last few months it’s insane - not that there’s anything wrong with seeing that something works and trying to emulate it. There is, however, a distinct difference between copying one or two ideas of a successful individual and re-creating every single one of them stride for stride.

I’ve set myself a live challenge to build a site in 29 minutes and sell it. Ok, realistically I won’t sell it in 29 minutes but you could do easily do this everyday and make about $50-100 USD building and selling these little babies on eBay or even Sitepoint.

The single most important part of promotion for any website or blog is getting more and more traffic, then using that traffic to make lots of money. Even untargeted traffic can be good traffic. Most businesses are based around a numbers game, unless you’re doing it just for the love!
