Find the Perfect Domain Name For Your Business
In this part of the tutorial about Branding and Domaining, I am going to walk you through the whole process of choosing wisely a nice domain.
The Secret:
Okay, you probably know that there are millions of domains that registered everyday. But did you know that you can take advantage of expired domains as well?
The secret is that simple! there are millions of expired domain names waiting for you to purchase.
Sometimes we are struggling too much to find the best domain name for our businesses, but actually we should not because old owners of a domain have already struggled for us, so why not take advantage of that?
What are Expired and Deleted Domains?
In the one hand, Expired domains are domain names that are not renewed by their owners and they are put for sale again by registrars. That's that simple.
In the other hand, Deleted domains are domain names that have been deleted by their owners, because they are no longer fitting their website, their idea or they don't like them anymore.
How to find These domains?
As you already know there is everything on the internet! it's not a secret for you. There is a website listing millions of these domains.
You can go to https://www.expireddomains.net/
But be careful:
Okay, as I said in the previous page, a domain name must be short, the shorter the better. It is easier to remember a short domain than a long and boring domain.
I say that because a lot of people choose to have a keyword rich domain, and as we are targeting long tail keywords, our domain names tend to be very long.
A website owned by kyle is a perfect example of a long keyword rich domain: WaysToAvoidScamsOnline.com
I am not saying that kyle did not choose a good domain name, He was able to brand it in the best way. Not everyone would have been able to do so.
In the next page I am going to walk you through expireddomains.net to show you how to use it, to avoid falling into some traps.
I see You on the Next page.
Thanks

If you have three businesses in three different niches you should have three domain names.
There are also Sub Domains which can be used. Let's say you have a "weight loss" website talking about nutrition and health in general and your main domain is: weightlossblog.com
Some people would create a subdomain for their online shop called: Shop.weightlossblog.com to sell their products.
I don't advise you to do so, it is better to create a page dedicated to your shop.
To be honest, having three different websites is a mistake, focus one website and grow it correctly. If in the future your website is making money then create another one.
I am preparing an in-depth course about domain names. if you still have problems finding domains this should more helpful than this one.
I hope this helps.

Since the content determines a site's success more than its domain name does, there's no reason to avoid picking up a domain name just because someone abandoned it for some unknown reason.
To answer your question, actually expired domains are the hidden truth of online businesses. Only about 10% of online entrepreneurs survive.
People quit and stop their online activities.
Some of them are failing because they don't have the knowledge, the time and the money, some of them also don't know how to build their Brand.
That's why branding is more important than having a simple business. Businesses survive and brands thrive.
Some of them can be pornography related, gambling, and other which can have a bad reputation. But Google doesn't take into consideration their past.
My advice would to check their history using waybackmachine.org also called archive.org
That's it for me, I hope this helps :)

I bought some interesting expired domains to sell them, I bought 3 and I sold one. I also built a website when I started around coffee. I could have had a lot of success with this coffee website. It was called Coffeebly.com
It was highly brandable and catchy but turned out to be time-consuming, as I alternated between my actual website, the coffee website and my day job.
I let it expire again and became a business monogamist instead of cheating on the one I am using right now. Lol
You know people who are constantly flipping domains are buying expired domains every single day and they add them to their portfolio.
There are some aspects to take into consideration before buying but there are millions of interesting domains. At least that's my opinion.
Thank you :)
Youba.
