Domain parking and beyond – my quest to get passive income from my domains.
Why should I, or you, or anyone for that matter, consider domain parking?
A good question so here goes. I was interested in making money from the internet having heard that anyone can do this. So I grabbed a few domain names I thought would be good, with the idea of parking them and getting some passive income? But did I do it? No? Why?… because some required upfront payment just to park the site, and others seemed too difficult to set up. So I didn’t get around to doing it. But the idea did not go away.
I kept thinking of ways I could generate a passive income.
My problem is that I’m really turned off by all those great promises from all those flashy websites about making money on the internet – I’d tried a few, but nothing really worked for me. But that’s my problem. I’m sure some of these work for other people.
And then recently I came across this site with this little e-book for sale which explained how you could go beyond domain parking to make your domain names work for you.
So I thought to myself ‘this looks interesting, it’s cheap enough, so let’s give it a go.’

Now one of the reasons I did this is because I like being in control. With normal domain parking sites you’re not in full control, so reason number one why I thought I’d do this.
This site also promised a step by step guide to his system fo going beyond domain parking. Now I have seen a lot of other sites saying the exact same thing, as I’m sure you have. The difference is that on his site he has a bunch of comments from people who bought the e-book.
They said his e-book did what it said on the tin!
Of course these posts could just have been fabricated, but I didn’t think so. Why? Because some of the posts had examples of what they’d done after following his step-by-step approach.
Now his website states that his step-by-step approach can increase domain income by 300% from whatever your current domain income is. As my current domain income is NIL, zero etc, any income would be welcome.
I have a few domain names registered and what with the cost of hosting, for which I use Godaddy, and to cost of registering the domain names, I reckon that my initial costs are around £110 or $176. So this is the amount of money I want to recoup to see whether this system works.
I have had these few (less than 10) domain names for some time but have not done anything with them, as I said before, so they have no google history or anything.
I’m expecting that it will take about 6 months for any significant activity on my parked domains.

Very interestingly, the author of the beyond domain parking e-book suggests that rather than buying new domain names and registering them, you buy existing domains with a google history.
I can see some sense in this but if you have some great ideas, then I don’t see registering a new domain is a big problem, provided you are willing to wait a bit for the google exposure to grow.
By the way, his e-book gives the details of how to buy existing domains and the traps to watch out for.
I’ll be updating this blog when I have something else to say, but for now its going to be all about following his step-by-step method and see what happens.
Beyond Domain Parking Progress
Here’s a little update on Beyond Domain Parking to generate cash. At present the results are not very impressive. There have been a few clicks but not enough. However, because of keyword choice the clicks have been of reasonable value.
The key is still about traffic and getting ranked high enough in google. Also it seems that you need to have about a thousand sites to generate enough income to be meaningful.
This obviously raises the question of affiliate marketing and selling affiliate products via the websites, or at least some of them.
So I have not cracked this yet and 1000 sites may take about 20 years….hmmm. I’m prepared to wait 15, lol, but 20?
Certainly parking domains traditionally at domain parking services, has been useless – they still need traffic to get to your parked sites so if you are going to promote a parked site it may as well be one on the principles of beyond domain parking. You can get the how to guide here.
Domain Parking learning curve
Well, since my first post I’ve been trying to learn a little bit more about generating passive income from domain parking. the key ingredeint for this is …. traffic. Even content doesn’t appear to be that important just so long as you get lots of people looking and then clicking on the links.
I think the challenge is going to be to get a lot of traffic. From what I understand so far, one of the ways to do this is to get good search engine results placement (SERPs, a new term for me) and one of the ways to get a good ranking is having a lot of back links to my site. so another learning experience called for.
I am in the process of setting up a Christmas site so let’s see how that goes. I’ll be starting with standard templates and then customising when I learn how.
I have noticed that there are a stack of ‘helpful’ programs out there to help with blogs so I’ll have a look at them and see what I think.
I’ve also applied for Google Adsense but they keep asking me to resubmit my website, without giving an explanations. Very frustrating! So I guess the google ads on my site will not generate any revenue as long as this problem persists. Good news for the advertisers but not for me.
While I’ve been hunting for info on the internet I came across this blog lostballinhighweeds.com and some comments on the All in One SEO pack in Wordpress. Well worth a read. The site is very good and well worth going back to regularly.
