Online real estate is actually called Virtual Real estate. This is a new form of making money only it is you are required to work at home on your computer, office, or beach….home is better though Just like housing real estate, virtual real estate needs to grow, and build into something worth selling. Buying a new domain with an idea, building popularity, Backlinks, content, trust, and proving that it really can make money online takes time. It can be a short time or a long time it all depends on your dedication to make things work.

Buying A Domain

There is nothing to buying a new domain. All you need to know is where to find a great host. I would prefer a host such as, Dreamhost.com because it offers great scripts, such as the famous one button press Wordpress installation. Dedicated hosting is also offered in Dreamhost.com which is awesome if you are expecting tons of web traffic.

Idea/Niche

It will be wise to have a plan on what you will like to present to the web. Whether it’s creating web applications, or offering a video game subscription service. Supplying a need is what the internet is all about. People come online for information so you will definitely find something to give to the world out there worth looking into or supplying a searchable need to individuals.

Build Backinks

If you haven’t figured out the true source of traffic then you don’t understand the magic of the search engines. The search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing are the top search engines you should want to look for major traffic at this time. Following the tips on my later blog post you could find some useful information on finding links, using anchored keyword terms, and search engine optimization for the top search engines out there. Backlinks are the backbone, and very important of a website to succeed in the search engine world. If you can manage to get a few top positions this will guarantee a chance for you to sell you website, but why would you when you are making so much money

Popularity

Popularity works well! Providing something new on the internet, particularly in the tech field specifically, you could create something a company could use, for instance, Google has Feedburner in there arsenal. Someone built it, and Google seen that they really need the software so they bought it from the creators. You don’t necessarily need to be a tech person. You could also be an ordinary blogger that is focused on something needing to the public, such as hand purses. You may attract an audience of women that want to buy hand purses. Once a business sees this huge traffic for demand of hand purses then there’s a close chance they want to buy your virtual real estate.

Prove To Be Profitable

What’s a business if it isn’t making any money right? Before anybody buys your business they want to know if it can profit a significant amount of money. Give yourself a year or two, and see how much you can generate in income from your online business. For instance, if you generate about $500,000 dollars online a year I would sell for $1.5 million. If I make $10,000 a year then I would sell for $30,000. Virtual Real Estate usually sells three times of how much you make a year so I keep it close or less for a reasonable sale.

Where To Sell My Biz

This is the question most people ask all the time, but it’s actually pretty simple. I would go to sitesell.com or Digitalpoint.com. You may have to go through more advanced resources for bigger buyers all depends on the demand and quality of the website you are selling, but they are out there.

So what does all this means to you as a work at home entrepreneur. Not many bloggers say this, but it matters a lot to the marketer no matter how you feel the realization is none of us wants to loose out on this grand opportunity to be listed in the Bing search engine. What about my position in Google, and all my visitors that visits my blog through Google? Will I loose them to Bing after all my hard work to position my blog search engine organic results in Google? Believe it or not this have been on many internet marketers minds, and possibilities are endless on the internet. This could be very possible a new beginning in the making. The best thing you could do just in case this happens is to get your readers to subscribe to your RSS reader if you are receiving a huge amount of traffic this will be a smart move.

Honestly, I’m surprised MSN, or Yahoo wasn’t the leader in the beginning due to the fact of the marketing power these two have in their hands. How in the world can you not be #1…..this is an obvious suggestion for any company, but the lack of marketing ideas could be the problem. Convincing individuals to use your search engine isn’t hard, but with uniqueness, and friendly-viral marketing planing you can never go wrong. Think about it , Bing is now commercializing their search engine all over the television now which gets to many Googleholics very quickly to convert over. That’s exactly what they meant when they talked about cutting into Google’s users. Commercializing is in a nutshell, but creative commercializing is better.

Not to mention Yahoo has decided to join Bing on this battle for the #1 search engine’s spot. Yahoo wants in too. Forthcoming Bingahoo! Put these two together and you have a powerhouse waiting to explode. Not too long ago Yahoo had turned down a huge multi-billion dollar buyout deal by Microsoft, but now they have come to terms that they could share the profits, and let Bing’s Microsoft search engine engineers take control, and use Bing’s cutting edge technology to update Yahoo’s technology for the best search engine results. While this is all still in premature stage I think we all should gear up by continuing to link build, and provide more content for our users. Google is a really powerful tool at this time we have learned to adapt to its ways, and could stay that way for a very long time, but remember not to put all your eggs in a bag.
