Domaining - An Internet Real Estate Business By John Parks             Internet domain names can be considered real estate because they function the same way property does in the real estate market. Some names are used to promote personal businesses or thoughts about the issues that make everyday life interesting and other domain names are used for domaining, which is developing, buying and selling sites to make a profit. It involves establishing a collection of domain names, which can include a variety of topics and criteria. These domain names include marketable groups of words that express a purpose or a product. Most of the domain names end in .com, because most web browsers fill in .com as the default when no extension is specified. Individuals or companies who accumulate a group of domain names for resale are called Domainers. There are over 10,000 Domainers selling domain names. Those names produced over a billion dollars worth of sales in 2008. That's a lot of money by anyone's standards, so more people are turning to Domaining as a source of steady income. In order to be a successful, a fundamental strategy should be established. There are several strategies already in place that include Keyword Typo domains which generate traffic and have been sold for big bucks and Automatic Volume Buying, which uses software to search for domains that fit into a certain niche. Trendwatching is another strategy that can pay off in a big way. Two or three niches are identified as having the potential of being a new technology or product that caters to the masses. Domain names are created for those niches and are held until the market becomes aware of their value. Another strategy used to create a lucrative business is known as Brute Force, which is sifting through thousands of domains using different search engines like AjaxWhois, dnScoop, Domain Tools and DigitalPoint. They examine domains using history, pagerank check, popularity, traffic and inbound links to determine the potential value of each individual name in certain markets.   Adland Digest Sponsor Message Brand NEW Energy Drink Now there is an energy drink that is actually healthy complete with vitamins and minerals.

The best way to start a domaining business is to buy what you can immediately pay for, don't finance names. Another financing technique is to add partners to diversify. Partners can increase capital and lower risks, but partnerships can be difficult, everyone has their own ideas about how to make a profit. A better strategy may be a joint venture where everyone's thoughts and obligations are examined and accepted at the inception of the agreement. Falling in love with a domain name is dangerous. Emotions can be expensive in business and this type of business is no exception. Stay away from domain names that include hyphens and digits, they tend to devalue the name. Create traffic by getting the names indexed into search engines by placing a link with relevant text on another related website. Forums are great places to trade information and interact with people but buying a domain with forum in the name is worthless without an actual site, unless a buyer is willing to turn it into a site. Domaining full time is a business and should be handled like one. A legal enterprise, which limits personal liability and financial risks as well as tax liability, might be worth the investment. The successful Domainer operates a business with low overhead and keeps flipping names the same way a real estate agent sells properties, one at a time.   About the Author: John Parks is an Ezine Articles Platinum Quality Author.

(Spot III)    Business Studies - Understanding and Targeting Clients By Chris Robertson   In 1909, the founder of a London department store coined the phrase "The customer is always right." A century later, this statement is still being used to convince customers that they will receive superior service and treatment. Fact is, of course, that the customer is not always right, and that some customers can be exceedingly difficult. Any course of business studies is full of examples on how to handle customers, and the study of customer relationship management, or CRM, is a challenging topic for teachers and students alike. However, while the question of whether or not customers are always right remains a matter of debate, understanding customers and their needs is tantamount in any business. Customers are people who buy products and services and have a choice of whom to buy them from. Businesses offer products and services that they wish to sell to customers. If a business is to consistently succeed in its mission to attract, and retain, customers, Establishing customer needs, knowing what they want and expect, and then developing products and procedures that match expectations goes a long way towards having happy customers. By seeking to know what customers want and need, a business works towards a harmonious relationship with customers, one where the goals of both the customer and the business are met, rather than simply declaring the customer right and the business wrong. So how does one go about understanding clients? A lot can be learned from careful market research that determines customer expectations. Take supermarkets, for example. Some customers will always seek the lowest possible price whereas others value quality and variety. If a supermarket that specializes on selection and high quality products then tries to appeal to a broad audience, they will be unhappy and complain of high prices. Likewise, if a streamlined supermarket offering basic goods at low prices tries to attract up-market shoppers, customers will complain of a lack of variety and hard-to-find goods. Having happy customers means more than good products and good marketing. It means identifying target clients and then marketing your products to them. This way, customers will appreciate the exact features and qualities of a product as opposed to feeling misled and taken advantage of. Almost all markets consist of groups of customers that have different expectations about the products and services they want to buy. The task of the business is to determine exactly what those expectations are, and then to meet those expectations in the relevant market segment. There are numerous business resources, including some free ones, that explain the various techniques that are used to gain identify target customers and gain an understanding of their needs and requirements. Clearly presented case studies are an excellent way to see how a business plan worked or did not work, and why. Always remember that good marketing not only relies on the right product sold at the right price in the right place and at the right time, but also in identifying who to market and sell to. Successful marketing relies on tracking customer perceptions that can then affect product mix, proper pricing, the right features, and promotions that appeal to the target audience. Understanding these intricate relationships are what business studies are all about.   About the Author: Chris Robertson is an author of Majon International, one of the worlds MOST popular internet marketing companies on the web.
