If you know me, you know I’m a domain addict.
I’ve got several hundred domains; purchased on a whim, usually. If I get an idea for a project, I buy a domain, and sometimes I buy domains just because a particular word combination appeal to me.
Domains (URLs, or Internet addresses) can become extremely valuable over time. Some single-word domains sell for millions of dollars, but all domains are valuable. Look at them as online real estate.
What does domaining have to do with freelance writing, however?
Just this. As a freelance writer, you’re in a unique position to make an ongoing income with Web sites. You can, after all, write content easily and without strain, and sites with content equal MONEY. You can create a Web site in an afternoon, and have it making money for you, for months and years to come.
The key is to add content to your domains, not just let them lie fallow, because once they’re indexed, their value increases.
Are You Properly Aging Your Unused Domains? :: Make Money at The Keyword Academy reports:
“I’ve paid $100 to $300 for aged domains, which means my friend Michael’s portfolio could be worth between $5,000 and $15,000 on the open market if he made sure they all got into Google’s index for the next twelve months.”
I look on all my Web sites as little income generators and long term investments. The amount of writing I can do in any 24 hour period is limited, so writing content for my portfolio of Web sites is a way to ensure that my writing pays me dividends over time.
