I am going to start a website that is an auction site. This is a site that people will post their own items for people to bid on. This site is a unique idea that I feel will work out.
I don’t know where to start on this project. I know that I need a domain name (already decided) and someone to design the site (already hired). I just don’t know if I need licenses? If so, what? Do I need them in multiple states? After all this, and then what….
I understand you think that there is nothing unique about another auction site. But you don’t know my idea and besides, it’s not about what you think, its about what I think about the site…you can keep your pessimistic thoughts to yourself.
Over the summer, I would like to start an online business. My goal is to eventually make six or more figures a year. I have a few ideas, but I’m not sure which idea sounds the most profitable.
1. A website where users can list, buy, sell, trade, and auction off websites and or domain names. A place whee people can buy and sell websites. I would allow people to create an account for free, and a seller could list his website or domain name for sale by paying a small fee. A other user could buy the site he/she wants with the buy now price, or be entered into the auction for the site where they compete with other people. Right now, there is only one site that does this called flippa.com. The problem is, everyone hates the high fee they charge to list a site (19 bucks). I already have a script for my site, and if I charge smaller fee, create a user interactive friendly version, and implement my marketing plans, I could easily beat flippa. Flippa is making some good money (4-5k a day).
Pros: make money from selling ad space and charging small fee. Not much competition.
Cons: not really any.
2. I would buy golf bags, clubs, shoes, etc. Wholesale, and dropship them to customers on my website. The problem is, I’m competeting with huge names like golf galaxy, golfers union, and thousands of sites.
Although I like all ideas, I think I’m aiming at the first idea. Do you think it could be profitable? Do you think it could make me six or more figures a year?
Over the summer, I plan on starting my own online company. I have made my decision on what I will do. It is a website where users can sign up for free, and sellers can list their website and or domain name for sale or auction. A buyer who is interested can purchase the website. The seller can post a snapshot of the website and post other info regarding his/her website. They can place the starting bid and or buy now price. I would make money by selling ad space, and by charging a very small fee for the seller to post his site for sale (this can also help by eliminating scammers trying to sell scam sites since scammers dont want to pay fees to post up a scam). The reason why i think this is a good idea is because people are now starting to “flip” websites (buy a website, fix it up, and sell it for profit. There is no real industry leading website available to buy and sell websites except for sitepoint.com, which does not have their main focus on the marketplace. If I market this site enough bringing targeted customers and visitors, this site could become a success. Since i have very good coding and design knowledge, I can easily create the site. I also have a marketing plan in place. My uncle, who markets sites for a living, thinks this site could have potential and says my marketing plan is perfect. My goal is to eventually make six or more figures a year. Do you think I could make six or more figures a year with this idea? Do you think it could be profitable? Do you think I should do it?
Is it good to go through the likes of GoDaddy? How do people sell normal domain names for lots of money as seen here.. http://marketplacepro.moniker.com/auction/live_auction_ticker.html
I have received an answer from Patrick (Thanks a lot Patrick) against a different question asked by me. In his answer Patrick wrote
“There are a lot of internet business model you could consider of (e.g. selling phyiscal or digital products, buying and selling domain names, creating paid newsletter or websites, affilitate marketing, auctions and many more).”
I need to know what are other internet business models or methods to start business online.
I bought a domain name through them a year ago and it’s going to expire soon. The company I currently host with needs me to renew it through Yahoo, but yahoo won’t give me a contact email to get help because I’m not hosting with them. Can anyone find an email for me? Thanks!
I need contact info for Yahoo Small Business, not info on small businesses in general.

I want to use some material from a book called “BESM Third Edition” (ISBN-13 978-1-58846-474-3). Copyright is held by Arthaus Games, but Arthaus is no longer in business and does not seem to have any way of reaching them. Even the domain name they had, http://www.arthaus.com/ has expired and a third party has put up a totally unrelated website.

If I can show evidence of trying to contact them or a partner of theirs and get no response, will I be violating Copyright to make use of the printed matterial?
Hi,
Around 5 years ago (I was only 16) I thought of the name “Romantique Interiors” as a good name for my future business. I even decided to buy the domain name, which expired last year.
Yesterday, I just did a google search, and found this article:
http://www.valorieburton.com/success.htm…
It has a woman talking about her business, which is the same name as the one I had thought of! When I initially thought of the name, nothing existed online with “Romantique” and “Interiors” in a phrase together. AND now the domain I once had is taken.
From research I’ve done, Romantique Interiors has not been trademarked. And Im not entirely sure that this woman is now the owner of the domain I once had. So, should I try to get this name trademarked, and if succesfull, possibly purchase the domain back from the current holder? Advice please!
