What does it mean by domain flipping ?
What actually is the job of domain flippers ?

[decipher]

Not sure to be honest.... I would think it is just Website Flipping. Where you take a good niche domain you buy at a low rate & add a niche related site to it for the better sale. Lots of people do this for good profit. A matter a fact i have done it a few times.

Thanks!

Domain flipping is buying a site for a relativley cheap price and then adding to it, sometimes its taking stuff down from it, like clutter and then submitting it to a few places to increase the visitors and sales, then selling it for 3x 1 months earnings.

Obviously these rules aren't set in stone and can be vastly altered, though tis is a great example, thousands can be made a week when you get the hang of it.

It's like flipping a house. Do you watch those shows on HGTV? lol
Basically you buy a domain, throw some content on it[build a website] and sell it.

Domain flipping is a tough business these days, unless you have patience. I've heard some people say they make tons of money because they "know the right people", but it would be hard to get into now, so much over saturation...

Sunny side up? LOL
This is another way to think about it though!

but it would be hard to get into now, so much over saturation...

Anything is easy to get into if you're good at doing whatever it is you do, for example if you don't know how to improve a site then don't do it, if you can improve a sites seo but not its design then either learn how or don't do it.

I find with many things, if you're good at doing something then people will often come back to you.

Domain flipping is selling off the domain you have and the content in it.
It is the same way as you sell you house/land property.

So, I can conclude that domain flipping as online land property.

Like you buy a house that needs some repairs. After repairing you sell the house for a profit. Likewise domain flipping means buying some cheap domains, fixing it up and then selling those domains for profit.

Domain flipping is just like buying rental property for cheap price and selling them for profits. Flippers buy a cheap domain, design it with an attractive website and increase the potential revenues and sell it for a large price.

so domain flipping is same with website flipping? I think it's different

website flipping --> selling all part of the site --> content, hosting, domain

domain flipping --> only sell domain
