To get started, register some domain names from a reputable domain marketplace website. You'll then be in the loop with other domain name sellers and potential buyers. Most of the marketplace websites offer this service for free and just take a minimal commission once you've closed on the sale.

Sometimes it's hard to gage the value of a domain name. Often you'll feel you have the perfect domain name and it just doesn't move. History shows that if priced right it will sell eventually as new online businesses crop up.

Most marketplace websites will make the process easy for you. A great one will educate you on all the steps necessary to successfully buy or sell domain names. If you're not certain how much you could get for a domain name they usually have tools that can teach you how to figure it out.

Once you've joined a marketplace website you'll need to create an account to put you domain names up for sale. They will then be added to the sites inventory. You can also use this area to invest in domain names that you think would generate income in the future.
