2. INTRODUCTION This guide is only one of the strategies that
you can use to flip a domain or a site REALLY QUICKLY with a video
site. Although it is a very good strategy, it is not the
end-all-be-all strategy. There are still other good strategies out
there on how to flip a domain with a video site. The 2 pillars that
make this strategy possible are: 1. You can build a full-blown
video site very quickly with Prismotube 2. High perceived value of
niche video sites Video sites are by themselves both popular and
have high perceived values. Just like anything in life, the more
niche a product is, the higher the price is. The value of a niche
video site is even higher in the eye of people in that particular
niche. Exploiting these 2 facts can potentially put a lot of money
in your pocket. Although we use our own product, the Prismotube
video script, as an example throughout this guide , you can also
apply the same strategy with other cheaper video scripts, nothing
is stopping you from doing that. We wanted you to focus on the
strategy, the big picture, and run with it instead of focusing too
much on the platform. But in case you wanted to check out
Prismotube, you can read about it on this page:

3. I know you might be thinking is this for real??? This
strategy works! It is tried and tested in the real world. Check out
the real life auction listings by real domain flippers below. Video
Site sold for $79: http://flippa.com/auctions/108066 Video Site
sold for $199: http://flippa.com/auctions/107956/ Video Site sold
for $199: http://flippa.com/auctions/107632/ Video Site sold for
$420: http://flippa.com/auctions/92777/ The time required to
complete the steps should be less than 24 hours if you really go at
it and if you have 2 cups of espresso ready. As you get better, it
will take less time. Are you ready?! The fact that you are reading
this means that you belong to a privileged few who are savvy enough
to know about video site scripts. The thing is majority of people
don't! You know that you can create a video site for cheap and very
quickly. But to others, it seems complicated, time-consuming to
build and requires a lot of software engineers to make happen.
Hence the high perceived value! You should exploit this to the max.
Just like a magic show, only the magician knows how simple it
actually is to pull off something that is seemingly difficult or
impossible. And another fact is that, video site has HIGH PERCEIVED
VALUE with or without traffic! Here are the 4 steps to the
strategy: Step 1: Identify a niche Step 2: Register a domain
related to that niche Step 3: Install Prismotube and assign
keywords related to your niche to the categories Step 4: Finding
Your Prospects & Monetize Domain Flipping Formula for Video

4. Step 1: Identify a niche There are many guides on niche
research. We are not going to go through how to perform a niche
research & analysis because it is beyond the scope of our
guide. Fortunately, you don't have to go for "the perfect niche".
There is no such thing as the holy-grail niche where upon you
tapping on it will result in a major windfall and you retiring with
millions in the bank. Anyway, chances is, you probably already know
a couple of niches. e.g. Star Craft II , Harley Davidson , cloud
hosting, Christian online dating, weight loss, Guitar Heroes,
Justin Bieber, government grants, etc Step 2: Register a domain
related to that niche www.enom.com If you type in a domain, it will
suggest related domains (both unregistered domains and premium
registered domains) e.g. I type in www.dogtrainingvideos.com It is
already taken, so you can go for the suggested domains that are
still available on that page. By the way, always go for a .com ,
not a .net or a .org Domain Flipping Formula for Video Sites

5. There are also related premium domains that were taken but
for sale: DogTrainingBookVideo.com $1,800 DogTrainingProducts.net
$888 DogTrainingSource.com $1,188 dogtrainingtip.com $1,588
DogTrainingCourse.com $1,888 DogTrainingsHockCollar.net $2,688
DogTrainingHarnesses.com $3,188 DogTrainingCare.com $1,888
DogTrainingGuidebook.com $688 DogTrainingService.com $1,088 Domain

6. Yes they are expensive, but if you exercise a little
creativity, you will stumble upon goldmines. e.g. let's take the
DogTrainingService.com domain that is going for $1,088. Tip #1:
Synonyms Ive replaced the word 'dog' with 'puppy' :
PuppyTrainingService.com I then check if it's available. Walaa! It
is! Tip #2: Singular & Plurals Tactic So let's try switching
the word dog to its plural form: DogsTrainingService.com Lets go
ahead and check it. Guess what, it is available too! Domain

7. And this is only for one domain, you can apply the same
tactics for the other "premium domains". There you have it. With a
little creativity, you can have $1000 domains at cost price (for
less than $10/yr). Justdropped.com You can also go to
http://www.justdropped.com/ to enter the keywords 'dog' and
'training'. You will see related domains that are going for cheap
because they have been dropped by the registrars . These are
domains that people have either abandoned or forgot to renew. You
can register these domains as if they have not been
taken/registered at all. Domain Flipping Formula for Video Sites

9. I have snatched couple of domains from JustDropped that
people have offered me hundreds of dollars for. This is for domains
that dont already have Prismotube installed yet. Step 3: Install
Prismotube and assign keywords related to your niche to the
categories Come up with a bunch of keywords and enter them into
Prismotube. Domain Flipping Formula for Video Sites Copyright 2010.

11. Prismotube will automatically create thousands of video
pages filled with videos, descriptions, thumbnails, tags and
comments based on your keywords. By now you should've created a
full blown video site that is based on a niche. This step should
take less than 2 hours. Congratulations! If you have completed this
step, you have already INSTANTLY increased the value of your domain
from $8-15 range to the $50-$200 range! Just like that! (Optional
Step) Design & Customize You might also want to design a logo
or a wide header graphic to customize the design of the niche video
site to correspond with that niche (optional). You dont have to go
too crazy about this. If you can, just customize the header
graphic, great.Otherwise, just spend 2 minutes to create a logo on
http://creatr.cc/. The website below is good example of
customization for the gaming niche, albeit a little extreme:

13. The first thing you should do after youre done adding
keywords is to submit your sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools. This,
I believe, will speed up the process of Google indexing your video
pages, and thus delivering free targeted traffic to it. URL:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ (Optional Step) : Wait for
the next avalance Generally, Prismotubes traffic comes in a few
waves. The first wave is when Google first indexed your site. Your
traffic can go up to 20-400+ visitors/day. The subsequent wave is
going to take a little longer but the traffic can swell up to
thousands of visitors/day. You could wait till the first wave of
traffic hits before putting the site up for sale. The traffic will
increase the value of the site in the mind of the prospect. Domain

14. Example of Customers website hitting critical mass. We dont
really recommend that you wait out till it hits this level before
you flip the domain. Once you hit over 100 visitors/day, flip it !
http://www.alurian.com/php-video-script/prismotube-case-studies/case-study-michael-jackson-video-site/
Slap on some ads You can also slap on some Adsense on the site to
earn some ad revenue. The benefit is two-fold, you will earn ad
revenue - which obviously is a good thing - and the ad revenue
further increases the value of the site. I have a site that Ive
held for more than 1 yr. The traffic has already matured to the
point that I would have no problem selling it for thousands of
dollars. The fact Domain Flipping Formula for Video Sites Copyright
2010. All Rights Reserved. Visit www.alurian.com 15
15. that it makes $200-$300+/mth in ad revenue definitely plays
a part. But the maturity takes time. If you are a true blue domain
flipper, you would quickly sell the site either right off the bat
or wait till the first wave of traffic hits. You would want to move
as many video sites as quickly as possible. Step 4: Finding Your
Prospects & Monetize Now its time to cash in! Were now going to
actually perform the actual flipping! Its the moment of truth! For
some of you, the reflex response is to simply list it on auction
sites like www.flippa.com or www.ebay.com. Chances is, you will
still make money off the auction, but here is why you are leaving a
lot of money on the table if you leave out the extra steps. If you
passively rely on the auction site to draw traffic to your auction,
you will get the untargeted visitors who are most probably not from
the niche you are targeting. Chances is, they will not be as
interested in your niche video site as people in that specific
niche. You can sell water to random strangers or you can sell to a
thirsty crowd. Its your choice. I would highly suggest that you let
as many people in the niche know that you are having your niche
video site up for sale. Generally, the more bidders there are, the
higher the price that your site is going to fetch. Search for
forums or user groups where your target market congregates. It can
be a forum or a Yahoo Group. Make a simple announcement. You can
even compile a list of sites that are related to your niche and
email the owners directly to offer to sell them your niche video
site or to ask them to bid on the auction that youve listed for
your video site. Let them know that the video site will be a great
addition to their existing sites. Domain Flipping Formula for Video

16. JUST DO IT! This formula is very straight forward and
short, that is the beauty and elegance of it. It is not a 400-page
technical bible that requires a team of rocket scientists to work
together in a secret underground lab to execute. But do not
undermine its effectiveness, do not judge a book by its short
length and simplicity. By now, it should be obvious how you can
profit from this loophole. Exploit it at your will and exploit it
to the max! The most important thing is to take action! For the
lack of it will render this strategy as nothing but a pipe dream.
When youve flipped your first domain, youd be on cloud nine. Be
