Buying And Selling Domains With Simon Johnson


David Jenyns has managed to chase down Simon Johnson from Domainer Income for an exclusive one on one

Looking back a year ago, the idea of buying and selling domains was something that I had always promised myself I would become more involved with, and it was not until me and Ryan started working on clearing our my website portfolio that I discovered that this was going to very quickly become a part of the direction that I wanted to take my business. Since then, a lot has happened. We purchased Flipping Awesome, we infiltrated Flippa, and there is plenty more coming down the pipe as well.

Anyway, back to the story… At the time, we were selling websites, however my attention has been pulled more into the area of domaining, which for those who are not all that familiar with the term, this is no different to buying and selling sites, but with the focus more on domains rather than selling a website or online business.

Truth be told, when it comes to buying and selling domains, I am far from an expert, so in true form, I have dived headfirst into the market, and gone straight to the source to learn more about this market. By change, whilst I attended Ed Dale’s Coming Home seminar in Melbourne, I ran into Simon and Anna Johnson (from www.domainerincome.com), a married couple who have been making a full time income selling domains for quite some time now. After talking to them for a bit, it was very clear to me that I had to get at least one of them into my office, and in front of a camera.

The result of all of this is the short interview that I have posted on this page with Simon. To recap a few of the things we covered in the interview:

  • The difference between buying and selling domains and websites
  • The benefits of parking vs developing
  • What the easiest way to discover expired domains is
  • The big news with ICANN

Anyway, there is plenty more in the video, you can watch it below.
