Inbox Parking – Yes you can even park your MX records…Sites like Mailboxpark allow you to monetize email traffic sent to your names. They use the emails for lead generation and pay you per thousand emails generated.
They collect the email data from the traffic sent to your domains and resell that data to companies that send email. Mailers use the data we provide to drive email insights, including detecting phishing attacks and other critical email issues.
Run your Own Ads – In the past there were a few different services that allow you to develop domains into mini sites, now only a few still offer this service. Tough Domains Domain Development offers an instant domain development service that is a SAAS. (Service as a software) You can develop thousands of domains in minutes and run Google Adsense across all your domains (if you are lucky enough to get approved for an account.) No Adsense? They also allow you to run your own ads across all your domains. Your domains become a private ad network allowing you to run affiliate ads, ads promoting your business or even selling your own ads to others.
Get paid in micro payments from cryptocoins – There are now over 800 cryptocoins and some allow you to get paid in micro payments for users clicking on ads. The founder of javascript created Basic Attention Token which pays users for reading content on their site.
Point to A For Sale Page – Some domainers think it’s better to have an offer page rather than even try to develop their sites. Use all the traffic to try to sell the name. There are many new domain services that offer domain for sale landing pages and even wordpress plugins .
If you are parking your names and making more than $20 per month or covering the reg fees you are one of the lucky ones. But if you are making less than what you want on the traffic to your names consider the options here as alternatives.
