How do you create and sell domain names?

     Selling domains can be done through domain name auction and marketplace websites (sedo.com, etc.) but you have to expect that they will take a cut of sales, and auctions are not the most profitable because you can’t expect big figure sales. A much better approach to selling a domain name is to research a possible market for it. Here is an example of what the process should look like: 1. Research current industry trends, for example: car automation is on the rise, virtual reality is somewhat of a thing, crypto currency and mining, to name a few obvious ones. If you are able to spot a niche technology or trend and beat others to it, then you could think of some domains in that niche, but also keep in mind: 2.

Why can't I buy the domain name even if the domain has already expired?

The domain probably has some value so the moment it has expired GoDaddy has probably registered it and now they are preparing or are already auctioning it so you probably could look there but it won’t we the same price like for a newly registered domain name, it will be a fair bit higher. Having the example that the registrar was GoDaddu, visit GoDaddy Auctions and see if name is being auctioned off, before being released back to general pool. Try to put in a backorder for the name. Automated tools that monitor the domain name will try to buy it on your behalf at the exact moment the name gets released back. Eventually if the domain name has that much value, get it thrugh Auctions as a safer bet. Also anyone else can put in the backorder or purchase it during the auction and beat you out of the drop. When the name has value, most likely you will have some competition.
