There are levels to print-on-demand sellers and it really needs to be emphasised. There are those that have a couple of Inkthreadable mugs on Etsy and an active Instagram, and there are those with a Merch by Amazon strategy with an aim to tackle every upload limit with their never-ending list of design concepts.

The same goes for domain sellers.

There are those that might throw a domain on a Flippa auction every once and a while and there are those with a NameBio subscription, gold NamePros account and consume a daily diet of domain name newsletters in their email. Levels.

If you’re a really active print-on-demand seller, I feel like it’s a relatively easy transition to get into domain seller. If you’re really treating it like a business and you’re very much used to spending money to make money – eg. you actually get a service like Penji to create the designs for you – it’s something that you will quickly get the hang on.

A lot of print-on-demand designs focus on slick wordplay that would look good on a t-shirt or mug. There’s plenty of opportunity to make money by selling names with these exact characteristics. The easiest transition is to attempt to find brandable two-word domains that fit well on the many marketplaces in this space.

BrandBucket, SquadHelp and Brandpa are among the most popular brandable domain platforms for this and just by scrolling around their listings, you will soon understand the potential.

As your confidence grows, you may want to venture into other aspects of domaining, such as the expired auctions, quick flips and so many other things. Once you know what a good domain looks like and you’ve sold one, you’re going to feel more comfortable looking at the many other opportunities out there to cash in on this industry.

There are lots of additional skills and knowledge you’re going to need to work on to make this viable, but there’s plenty of resources to help you to get there. Just like print-on-demand, you can do this wherever you are in the world, you can dip in and out of it as you see fit, and there’s endless earning opportunities. Your creativity is the key to profit in this world.
