Hand Registered Domain Name Developed Into a Successful Business
Many would think that it’s impossible to acquire a hand registered domain name and turn it into successful business; especially when that domain name is a 3 letter word domain. But in this post you’ll learn that I’ve done just that.
The domain name was hand registered in 2014, but the industry it focuses on has been an industry I’ve been serving for almost a decade before. This one industry is an ever green one, and YOU also can learn how to serve this industry in your local area and generate yourself great income.
And no I’m not going to make you wait to learn what industry I’m referring to…it’s the tree service industry. This is a highly competitive, highly profitable industry, so tree companies are willing to pay digital marketing & domain name developers big bucks to get them clicks & calls! In fact many local businesses turn to our SEO company for all of their SEO, SEM, SMM, and web development needs.
And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing since 2004.
Developing Domain Names
So now that you know the industry you’ll want to know the hand registered domain to successful business I’ve developed, right? So the hand registered domain name is LocalTreeCompany.com (I also own LocalTreeCompanies.com)
This domain name I first developed in 2014 to drive leads to my clients in the tri-state area (tri-state being NY, CT, NJ). I quickly developed this domain name into a first page ranking website, and my clients benefited from quality backlinks, onsite advertorials, and featured geo specific business listings that would drive hot leads to those we served.
When a click or call equates to thousands of dollars in profit you can be sure tree companies are willing to pay you thousands of dollars per month (or more) to get them ranked, and get customers calling them! Developing domain names into high ranking websites to dominate a local search market delivers the results like few other marketing tactics can provide.
Leasing Domain Names
Leasing domain names also neatly fits in to this entire business model, because developing LocalTreeCompany.com into a highly ranked website generates us leads, and a percentage of leads become clients. Because we own hundreds of related domain names in this niche, we develop these domain names for our clients who then lease these domain names from us. They benefit form the developed domains, and we generate residual income from our EProperties. It’s win-win relationship at its best!
Hand Registering Domain Names
Not all domainers, or new-to-the-game domain name buyers register domain names for the same reason. Some buy domain names to flip the, others buy the domains to develop for their own use, and other domain name developers buy domains to develop them for their clients.
If you hear the term, hand registering domain names and you’re not sure what this means, here is a great definition from Domain Sherpa:
“Hand register. The process of registering a new domain name at a registrar by hand. In other words, without the use of automated robots or automated computer systems that search for and register domain names, and purchased new and not on an after-market system.”
Hand Register Definition
Another definition from NamesCheap:
“You’ll sometimes hear domainers say they are “hand registering” domain names. This means they are registering domain names that no one else has registered and are currently available. It might be surprising that you can register available domain names and make a profit.”
How we define hand registering domain names here at EPropertyLease:
For our readers here on EPropertyLease I’ll keep it even simpler; Hand Registering Domain Names is going to a Domain Registrar and searching for a domain name, and that name being available for purchase at its customary rate.
I state customary rate because each top-level domain (TLD) (and groups of top-level domains) have their own base pricing structure. So if you search for a domain name and find it is available to purchase at it’s base rate, then you are ‘hand registering’ the domain name.
LocalTreeCompany.com is an example of a hand registered domain name that we purchased through Godaddy for about $8 dollars. This domain name has been monetized to help us generate 6 figures in income, and with the re-development this month onto a new platform we are looking to drive this into a 7 figure (and more) website in the future.
All of this because we understood this niche, and hand registered this AMAZING 3 word domain name! There are still tremendous opportunities for YOU to acquire hand registered domain names and develop them into successful businesses that provide you a continuous stream of income online.
An example of a premium domain name that we did NOT hand register is Local.NYC that is now a premium domain name developed.
Developing a Successful Business
There are many factors to developing a successful business, but one thing holds true across virtually ever industry; understanding how to leverage the Internet can be a major factor if you make it past your first year of business. There are strategies I developed over 15 years ago, and coined the term that now client’s, fellow developer’s have recognized as virtually a guaranteed way to dominate their local search engine pages, and these are: ‘Domain Circling’, Local Authority Sites, and Authority Site Network.
And dominating your local search marketing is one of the greatest marketing tactics to and driving factors to developing a successful business.
This is why it is so important that you understand how to select your domain names, your primary domain name that will represent your company, and dozens of other domains to what I coined ‘domain circling’ your primary domain into ‘Local Authority Sites‘ (LAS), and eventually into you own ‘Authority Site Network‘ (ASN).
And as our own example above demonstrates, you don’t need to buy a 5 figure domain name (or 6 or 7 figure) to develop your domain into an amazingly successful business!
Ranking First Page Of Google
Ranking first page of Google is one of the most important factors to creating successful businesses online. To demonstrate this I shot a quick video showing how this domain name ranks #1 on Google and the other search engines:
When you learn how to develop domain names into #1 ranking websites on Google you will begin to understand the power of the Internet, and you’ll be on your way to developing a successful business, for yourself or your clients!
Understanding the process of each can be a game changer for you.
Search Engine Optimized Domain Names
There is an entire process for identifying which domain name to use for your ‘primary’ website, and how to hand register domain names for developing Local Authority Sites (LAS) and turning them into your own Authority Site Network (ASN). That process I’m not diving into now because this post truly is to provide many skeptics the proof that you can still find amazing domains that you can hand register, and develop them into extremely profitable businesses. Yes, even now in 2020!
The reason why I am mentioning Search Engine Optimized Domain Names is because it is a very important factor to your businesses success, and just realize that even a site like this, EPropertyLease.com, whom many would state is a terrible domain, was developed into an amazing site that has connected me with many great people over the years!
Hand Registered Domain to Successful Business
As many long time followers here know, EPropertyLease.com was actually a challenge given to me by someone who said it wasn’t still possible to develop and rank a ‘shitty’ domain name into:
- a highly ranked website
- a website people would want to visit even once, and if they found it
This person was wrong in regards to both!
So if you are thinking of getting into domain name development, domain name leasing or domain monetization I say GO for it, and start off with a hand registered domain name. Doing so you may be the next person that goes from a hand registered domain to successful business!
