Your blog is going to focus on „dog training problems‟, hence it makes sense to register a domain name that is appropriate to this particular market.
However, because domain names are always unique, you will probably need to come up with a list of half a dozen alternatives as many of your first choice domain names will already have been taken by someone else.
If possible, you should try to register a top level may name, preferably a .com or failing that, a .net domain.
Although many domain name registrars will „sell off‟ other domain suffixes (i.e. „.info‟ domains) cheaply, it is generally accepted that these domain names are less search engine friendly and therefore less valuable.

What you are going to do is build a content-rich niche-targeted blog, retain it for a period of time during which you build up the income that your blog is generating before selling it as and when appropriate. This works because there is always a (perhaps surprisingly high) level of demand in the market for proven money makers with blogs that have a track record of generating cash selling for hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars.
All the details of how this works will gradually unfold as you read through this guide but this is the basic concept in a nutshell.

The concept of virtual real estate and flipping blogs and sites is broadly similar, although there are one or two slight differences.
The main difference is that whilst in the real property world, you would almost always buy a derelict property for renovation, when you’re flipping blogs or sites, it is often easier to create the site yourself from scratch. Whilst it is possible to find sites that already exist, improve them and then sell them on at a premium, having the ability to recognize sites which can be improved and sold is an acquired skill.

On July 24 2015, Amazon reported their 2nd quarter profit and loss statement. After enjoying a surprise jump in profit in that quarter, the online retailer that started as a website selling physical books reported profits of $92 million. Why should you care, and what does this have to do with affiliate marketing?
It is important because Amazon.com became the world’s largest retailer, online and off, when they reported those earnings. They passed retailing giant Walmart as the biggest retail store on the planet with those earnings. This is massively important as far as a beginner to affiliate marketing is concerned because of the way that Amazon makes most of its income.
Amazon.com is the largest affiliate marketer in the world.

Dropshipping has a huge number of benefits. Perhaps the most obvious is simply that it allows you to sell real, physical products online without having to worry about manufacturing, storage or delivery. It has the advantages of selling an affiliate product or a digital product in this way but you get access to a much bigger list of useful, tangible items.
But that’s not really the biggest benefit of dropshipping. Rather, there is an even bigger and more impressive advantage that comes from using this business model and it’s all to do with your branding…

Selling a physical product has a ton of advantages over selling digital ones. While digital products have their benefits and have their place, nothing quite beats the broad appeal of selling something tangible that people can actually hold in their hands and use.
The problem is that selling a physical product often requires a little more thought than going digital. In this post then, we’ll take a look at some surprisingly easy ways to start a business selling something physical.
Let’s get physical!
