In short
Buy a .oi domain and sell it to (local) business owners and become a gazillionaire
Verdict: Just Garbage...
Thank you for this share.
@terence333, thanks for the share!
Review:
Consists of 9 short videos. The creator takes you through how to sell dot io domains on Namepros and Flippa, and gives some info on more sites to sell on in a third video. There's a video on Estibot, which in the domain world is not counted at all because it usually gives an estimate for domains that is way off. Then he shows you how to use the Google keyword planner for domains.
The last video, on Expired Domains dot net, is the most useful video IMO, and is for anyone who wants to start with domain selling on a small scale. If you hunt on the site regularly, and at the right time, you can spot some good domains, although unfortunately he only gives you a rough idea on how to use this powerful resource. I doubt whether he knows how to identify expired domains using this site or any site for that matter. There are other sites(some paid) for buying expired domains that he completely skips - maybe he doesn't know about them.
The dot io domains started taking off at least a couple of years ago, and I can see that he has copied some content appearing in his videos from articles written about these domains in 2017. The problem is that when a new TLD comes out like dot io, all good, sellable domains get taken by professional domainers. That leaves you with domains like, for example, JimsBakery.io that you can sell to (you guessed it!) a Jim who owns a bakery, but who can't buy the dot com, net or org because they're already taken.
These domains became very popular with startups and tech companies, and I know that most big and medium-sized companies usually buy up all the good domain extensions that pertain to their brands, and that includes dot io. If you have good selling skills you could sell dot io domains to small businesses(like Jim's Bakery above) if you can convince them to buy it, only if the other extensions are not available.
Selling on sites like Flippa or Namepros and others is tough and you need a lot of patience and on Flippa, you also need a previous track record as well as money to promote your listing.
It's not a business for newbies at all because anyone new to the business loses money by buying dozens and even hundreds of domains thinking they will sell, but then end up selling none. It requires skill, experience and patience, and like I mentioned if you want to start somewhere you can watch the last video(and maybe some more on YouTube) and get more familiar with the expired domains site.
