8- “Profiting From Misspelled Domain Names”
In the same line as “Domain Name Poaching”, profiting from misspelled domains is an online money-maker provided by The Penny Hoarder.
“When you misspell the URL of a website as you type it into your browser, you often get a page with ads. People buy these misspelled domains in order to profit from mistakes.” The people who do this set up a page of tax tips, and the add companies pay them for every unintended click (especially during tax season); it can generate around 15 USD a month, which is not much but it’s not nothing. Eventually, they sell the domain for way more than they paid for it, but that’s not a given.
