Should I buy a domain name that looks valuable, in order to resell it?

Many domainers just buy domain names and put them on auctions again hoping that someone else sees more value in it and will pay more so they can make a profit, but that way your profit is much smaller.

My personal experience is that you should not buy premium domains just on a hunch, but rather first do some research, if you are really good at it you will find a few possible clients for that domain name and only then buy it and offer to resell it to potential clients.

Use online business directories, Google Business, social media to search for clients.
Contact them with offer and if needed try the phone too, but prepare a “ short presentation” why they should have the domain name you are offering.

Sometimes it’s because the domain name matches their business perfectly, and sometimes it’s because they wanna buy it to block competition from getting that perfect domain or the domain name has strong traffic because of good keyword combination and they could redirect it to their main website to get that traffic for themselfs…

There are some guides on the internet that give more detailed information about the whole process:

Good luck and good profits!

After the domain name expires, who can sell the domain name and make a profit?

Original owner can renew before it expires, after it expires there is a redemption period when he can renew but with added redemption cost fee. When the redemption period is over, if the domain name has value, the registrar will put it to auction and after the auction end it will go to the highest bidder. If there are no auction bids then registrar will return the domain to its registry and it will be available once again for anyone to register.

Are there any drawbacks (SEO or otherwise) to .us domains?

Other than people mindeset to “default” to .com when searching, there are no drawbacks to .us and search engine wise it is even better for websites that want to target USA audience as it is a ccTLD. I would recommend Accredited Registrar for registering a country code domain name.
