  • What is Domaining? How to Begin a Domain Name Business

    What is Domaining? How to Begin a Domain Name Business


    For those who are unfamiliar with the domaining business, it entails buying, selling, developing, and monetizing domain names. It is, in fact, a BIG business with the potential to earn you a million dollars. You may not believe me, but when you consider that AsSeenOnTv.com was sold for $5.1 million, Autos.com was sold for $2.2 million, Express.com was sold for $1.8 million, and so on.

    It’s a million-dollar business, but it’s not just about big names; expert domainers frequently make $10,000 or $100,000 on unknown domains as well. With so many new domain name extensions entering the market and so many businesses closing down and abandoning premium domain names on a daily basis, the industry is constantly growing. This expansion brings with it an ever-increasing potential for success, but it also brings with it a slew of new challenges.

    This article will go over a few important checklist items to think about when starting a domaining business from scratch.

    1- Recognize that you will need some money to make more money:

    Yes, money is required to start a domaining business, and it can range between $100 and $100,000. Successful domainers typically own a large number of domains to build their portfolio, but you can begin with a small number. A lot depends on the business model you choose, and your financial needs will vary accordingly.

    2- Skills Required

    To be honest, you don’t need any specific skills, but you should be eager to learn, gain experience, and grow. The best way to learn about domaining is to do it yourself. To be successful in your domaining business, you will need experience, which you will gain through experimentation and learning from relevant domaining resources such as Purely Space. Never close the doors to learning, and you will find success!

    3- Be Aware of and Understand the Risk:

    In reality, no business is risk-free, and domaining business is no exception. You must be aware of the various types of risks associated with the domaining business, such as domain marketplace scams, the value of.com names (or other top-level domains) decreasing for various reasons, typosquatting popular companies can result in a lawsuit from the company, and so on. Domaininvesting.com has correctly described the five types of risks associated with the domaining business.

    4- Avoid the Wrong Ways to Make Money from Domaining:

    Every business has ethical and unethical ways to make money, and the domaining business has some unethical ways to make money as well. It is critical to be aware of and avoid these bad habits. The following business models should be avoided:

    • Domain hijacking is the process of stealing an internet domain name from its rightful registrant.
    • Cybersquatting is the practice of registering domain names in bad faith in order to profit from the goodwill of a trademark that you do not own.
    • Typosquatting occurs when you register domains that closely resemble popular domains, such as Goolge.com, MciroSoft.com, and so on, with the intent of gaining traffic and possibly selling the domain at a higher price. It may not be illegal, but it increases the likelihood of a lawsuit from the companies.

    5- Discovering the Most Profitable Strategy:

    If you are serious about getting into the domaining business, the best option is to go the legal route, which is both risk-free and highly rewarding. Here are some of the most successful domaining business models.

    1. Domain monetization is one of the best business models because it is low risk, completely legal, and can yield massive profits. You purchase domains, create strategies to profit from the traffic they generate, and then sell the site for anywhere between 12 and 24 times the site’s monthly revenue + brand price.
    2. Another business model is domain development, in which you buy brandable domains, add a website and a service to the domain, and capitalize on traffic until you sell the domain name and its service.
    3. Domain capitalization is a risky business model, but if you’re good at valuing domains, it can help you sell the next million dollar domain. For example, if you purchase fitandtrim.com with the expectation that a product or service with that name will be released sometime in the future, you are the only person who can purchase this domain.

    In conclusion:

    Make sure to choose the right business model before you begin your domaining venture. Take some time to learn about all of the different business models and then select the one that suits you best. Experienced domainers run multiple business models at the same time, but as a newcomer, it’s best to start with a single direction.

  • Becoming an Investor in Nepal

    Becoming an Investor in Nepal


    Before we get into how to become an investor in Nepal, it’s important to understand who an investor is. An investor is someone who puts money into something with the hope of profiting in the future. A return is the benefit derived from such an investment. Investors are always on the lookout for high-yielding investment opportunities.

    What distinguishes an investor from others?

    Based on a book written by Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad, people can be divided into four distinct categories in terms of generating income. They are:

    1. Employee (Salary-based) are those who work for others in order to meet their needs. They are paid at the end of the month for their work. Job holders are included in this category. Employees benefit from security because they know they will be paid at the end of the month. The main disadvantage of being an employee is the lack of freedom.

    2. Self-employed are individuals who work for themselves. They have more freedom than salaried employees, but they must work like salaried employees to meet their demands.

    3. Businessmen are the owners of the company Business owners hire others to work for them. They create products and services in order to make money.

    4. Investors invest in businesses and stocks for profit.

    According to the book, in order to become wealthy, you must be either a businessman or an investor, or both.

    Investing characteristics

    Not all of your money can be considered an investment. There are a few factors that distinguish between spending and investing. The following are the two most important characteristics that every investor should possess:

    1. Safety of principal

    The principal is your machine, which can print money for you. It is in your best interest to keep your machine in good working order. When you lose your principal, you can’t make money off of it. As a result, the safety of the principal should be your top priority.

    2. Adequate return

    When you put your money into a good business, you get something in return. Your return can take the form of cash, shares, or stocks. What you should remember is that your principal earns you some level of return. You should not expect a return on your investment that is exponential or even out of the realm of possibility. Investing with a non-realistic expectation of return is gambling. Never put your principal at risk. It is all you have.

    Benefits of being an investor

    1. Beating inflation

    Inflation is a term used to describe the gradual decline in the purchasing power of money. A popular saying goes, “A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.” As an investor, you have the ability to outperform inflation and keep your money’s value constant. You should always keep an eye on inflation and strive to outperform it. Your investment return should always be greater than your country’s inflation rate.

    2. Own businesses of different types

    It is yet another advantage of being an investor. You can own as many and as varied businesses as you want. What you should have are some investing principles that you can use before you start investing. After you’ve established your investing principle, the world is yours to explore.

    A popular investing field in Nepal

    There are three main popular fields of investing in Nepal. They are:

    Land and Real estate

    Real estate is and has always been the best investment opportunity. Real estate investment generates income from two sources: renting and selling real estate. It can be both active and passive investment. You can actively buy and sell properties, or you can simply invest in real estate and let time do the work of calculating your income. You can always expect your property’s value to rise over time. In the meantime, you can use the money you earn from renting to cover your day-to-day expenses.

    Interest yielding deposits

    Banks in Nepal offer competitive interest rates on fixed deposit savings. You can protect your principal by using fixed-deposit schemes offered by commercial banks or development banks in Nepal. While cooperative companies in Nepal have high rates of return, they have a bad reputation for fraud or scams. It is not a good idea to put all of your money in cooperatives.

    In Nepal, there is also peer-to-peer lending. It pays a higher interest rate on your money than institutions, but it also carries a higher risk.

    Interest-bearing deposits are one of the best passive income ideas in Nepal, regardless of where you choose to invest.

    Nepal Stock Exchange

    Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) is the country’s sole stock exchange. If you are new to this, you can read the NEPSE beginner’s guide. Investing in stocks provides you with two significant benefits. You can be a shareholder in any company you want, and you will receive an annual return. Alternatively, you can sell your stocks if the price rises. Stock investing, like real estate investing, allows you to be either an active trader or a passive investor. Stock investing can begin with as little as 100 rupees. Stocks could be the next best small business in Nepal for you.

    Furthermore, the best investment you can make is in yourself. Always seek to broaden your knowledge. Read books, websites, and news to stay current. One thing that all of the best investors have in common is that they are voracious readers. As the saying goes, the more you learn, the more you earn.

    Lastly…

    It is not easy to become an investor. To become a good investor in Nepal and other countries, a certain set of principles and hard work are required. However, it is not as difficult as learning rocket science. Anyone can become a good investor with careful planning and dedication. There are a few things you should never forget and a few things you should never forget. Best wishes for your investment.

  • How Does The Stock Market Work?

    How Does The Stock Market Work?


    How does the stock market work? In a nutshell, the stock market is a market place for business people. Goods are sold to the public in a public market. However, in the stock market, the public is sold share. Shares are the form in which company stock is sold. When a person purchases more shares in a company, they have a higher ownership in that company.

    In the stock market, there is the primary market and the secondary market. In the primary market, companies sell shares to investors to raise financing for their operating expenses. In the secondary market, investors buy and sell shares in companies to other investors. Constantly changing market conditions are the basis of those buy and sell decisions.

    A stock market operates much like an auction house, with a systematic way of buying and selling. The system in the stock market involves a great deal of bustling activity. Often there are people running around frantically, shouting and gesturing at one another.

    The purchase and sale of stock starts at various places. A broker is contacted if a person wants to buy stocks in a certain company. The broker will take the investor’s money to the stock exchange to coordinate with a floor broker.

    In most cases, the floor broker works for the company selling stock. Right on the stock exchange floor, brokers buy the desired stock for the investor. Once the deal is made, it is communicated to a broker and the investor then becomes a stockholder of that particular company.

    Investors may decide to sell their stock. Usually investors want to sell their stock when the price per share increases so they can realize a profit on their investment. For example, a person may purchase 100 shares at the price of $25 per share. When the price increases to $35 per share, the person can sell the 100 shares and make a profit of $1,000.

    The driving force behind the stock market is the basic economic principal of supply and demand. The number of stocks open to the public is the supply. The number of shares that investors what to purchase affects the demand of the stock in a certain company.

    The constant change in the cost of stock is a result of conditions in other markets. For example, if people feel that the economy is growing they are apt to purchase more stocks. However, when the economy is in a decline, the majority of investors tend to sell off their stocks. On the flip side, some investors use this time to buy because the stock prices are usually at a discount.

    There are quite a few business people who make long term investments in the stock market. In some situations, stocks go down in value and a stockholder loses money. There is no guaranteed profit when investing in the stock market. Thus, when a person is flexible and able to handle the constant changes of the stock exchange they are more likely to experience a profit.

    So this is how the stock market works. In the end, patience, education and experience usually equals greater long term success.

  • The 4 Potential Problems With Variable Annuities

    The 4 Potential Problems With Variable Annuities


    One of the riskiest ventures is investing your money in the stock market. But along with the extreme risk involved, is also has the potential to make you a lot of money. In fact, investing in the stock market can turn out to be one of the most profitable business decisions you’ll ever make if done right.

    With so many variables to consider, it is expected that you may have hesitancy to risk your hard-earned cash on a speculative venture in the stock market. The best course of action is to hire a reputable stockbroker to handle your stocks in the beginning. A trained stockbroker can give you dependable stock tips and solid professional advice.

    Another good idea is to discuss stocks with an associate or friend with a bit of experience investing in the market themselves. Talking with educated friends and acquaintances can be a good way to get stock advice and knowledge for free.

    A well-known stock move is investing in variable annuities using the premium of your insurance. Variable annuities are actually insurance contracts that allow you to invest your premium in mutual fund type investments. While this may seem like a good idea, when you review it more closely, it might be a poor investment.

    The following are 4 potential problems with annuities:

    1. Early withdrawal penalties can cost you a double penalty. When you withdraw your profits, you will be penalized because insurance plans are designed for retirement. When you take money from your premium, it costs you in penalties to the government and to the insurance company itself.
    2. The death benefit affects the people you leave behind. If the stocks you hold are down when you die, your beneficiaries receive as much of the investments as you put in. If stocks are up when you die, they are taxed as regular income.
    3. Smaller taxes are paid on ordinary investments in mutual funds and stocks which qualify for low capital gains treatment. The gains from investing in premiums, however, are taxed immediately upon withdrawal.
    4. When you buy annuities with insurance features, they are actually more costly than regular mutual funds. When an annuity has more insurance features, there are annual fees heaped on top of it. The result is a loss of profits for you.

    Another thing to keep in mind is that timing is a key element to successful stock investing. There are specific times that are good to invest and other times that are poor. During times of hardship or national duress, the prices of stocks may be driven down to a discounted rate, but there is no reassurance that such stocks will recover to realize a significant profit. Educating yourself on the company is key in this situation.

    The bottom line with regards to investing in the stock market is diversification. The best decision is to diversify where and when you invest your money so you can always realize some type of profit to offset potential losses.

    And you should always hire a reputable finance professional to help guide you through the stock market.
