If you’ve been reading my writing blog for a while you know I have a domain name addiction. :-) I tend to buy domain names (URLs) for projects, and then get too busy to create the site - shame, but at least I own (lease) a nice bit of online real estate that may yet make money.

If the concept of “domaining” is totally new to you, read “How To Get Started As A Domainer”. There’s lots of great domaining tips and resources on the page. It’s definitely a keeper.

Speaking of Web Writing Money Makers, that’s the name of the new membership site I’m creating at the moment. Writing for the Web is all about creativity, writing (lots of writing) and turning your words into cash.

Domaining is one way to do that. It’s a lot of fun, and can be highly profitable, especially if you grab a domain by trendwatching:

Trendwatching is simply the practice of anticipating popular domains before they become popular. The keys to successful trendwatching are good sources and creativity. One of the biggest mistakes novice domainers make, is attempting to trendwatch a very diverse group of industries, rather than focusing on a few and becoming an expert in those areas. The best way to start trendwatching is to pick two or three niches that you feel comfortable with and which are reasonably lucrative, then add eight to ten blogs within that niche to your RSS feed.

(Read the rest...)

There are many, many (FUN) ways to make money writing online, and we’ll be exploring lots of them in Web Writing Money Makers - it will launch in April. I promise you that if your Web writing is not making you lots of money, you’ll have no excuses when that site launches.
