No, no, I’m not getting a divorce! My marriage couldn’t be better. And, in fact, as I’m writing this now, it would probably be a good idea for me to share with my wife exactly what I’m doing. The last thing I need is for her to stumble upon me writing or researching Indianapolis divorce lawyers!
This post is the first in a multi-part “interactive case study” on domain flipping. By interactive I mean I’m seeking your advice on what steps to take and will give updates as this project continues. I have very recently acquired the domain name IndyDivorce.com. There is no website attached to it. However, I feel like it could be rather valuable for a local law firm.
Now, don’t get the wrong idea. I don’t endorse divorce. However, the opportunity came along to snap up a domain name with the potential for high appeal to a select market. This is where this project begins.
I basically have 3 options:
- Find an interested party to directly purchase the domain.
- Turn it into a simple directory website listing local divorce lawyers in Indiana (and perhaps some articles on alternatives to divorce!) and eventually charge local lawyers a fee for an upgraded listing.
- Do what YOU tell me to do.
What do you think? The point really is to “flip” this domain like you flip a house. I want to buy low, fix ‘er up, and then sell for a decent profit while still delivering a great value to the final customer.

- 10:25 pm @Naturals I think so. I'm sorry that they bother you so much :( Sign-up for a CoTweet.com beta. They let you "archive" them off the screen.
- 9:10 pm @nancymyrland Thank you :D Hiccups are a full tummy's worst enemy :P
- 8:09 pm http://twitpic.com/97ic6 - On the hiccup timeout mat :)
- 8:08 pm
- 8:05 pm Nothing quite like hiccups and warm baby spit-up down your arm on a nice July evening. The joys of parenthood. ;) #moonfruit
- 8:03 pm @Naturals You can't unload/delete those messages--they are tweets from other users that mention your username. #moonfruit
- 7:06 pm @CindyHartman What's going on around #Indy? A great place to start is: AroundIndy.com :) #moonfruit
- 7:02 pm http://twitpic.com/978hb - This was just dropped off at my door...
- 6:58 pm Really glad the Twitter API limit was increased to 150/hour. Wonder if that was a result of the recent hardware upgrades. #moonfruit
- 6:56 pm @Naturals unload them from where? Sorry, not exactly sure what you're referring to...
- 6:56 pm @JeremyAWilliams 4 hours @ 2 weeks is good :) I can't wait until consistent 6.5 hour nights, but when it happens, it's just awesome. :D
- 6:54 pm Saw Public Enemies last night. Loved it. Really awesome hand held camera work during some amazing shootouts. #moonfruit
- 4:16 pm @y0mbo I think the CPU fan blows AWAY from the CPU. The point being to draw heat away from the processor. & probably blow towards vents?
- 5:37 am Holy cow... Baby just slept 6.5 hours! Happy freakin' Friday!! #moonfruit
- July 2nd
- 8:36 pm Interesting... GoDaddy now helps you check to see if the Twitter equivalent of your domain name is available. #moonfruit
- 2:07 pm first shots are over. mommy cried more than Alexandra. She cried but not for long (some were hunger tears). Glad that is over!
- 12:16 pm wordpess.org sells for $367 (probably to a phisher)
- 11:10 am @Nick_ Nope, just caught my attention on TDNAM.com and always curious as to how much certain domains get sold for.
- 10:59 am Watching wordpess.org selling at auction. 1 hour left.
- 10:11 am Watching as fun140.com spamjacks the #moonfruit contest by making people think they need to take a quiz to win.
- 9:59 am Happy early birthday America & @jim_brown! #moonfruit
- 9:57 am Laptop has cracks in the casing on both sides. Under warranty with Dell, but I can't go without it while in the shop. Catch 22 :( #moonfruit
- 8:29 am @moontweet Why would Obama need a #moonfruit macbook?
- 7:40 am Today is Alexandra's 2 month doc appt where she gets a bunch of shots. Really not looking forward to it.
- 7:36 am Too bad a bazillion people have entered the #moonfruit contest. Back to putting apple seeds under my pillow for the MacBook fairy.
- July 1st
- 10:20 pm Fox59 weatherman has lost his mind. Used "air quotes" and then asked if it "was still in" during the weather. #moonfruit
- 8:42 pm RT @badbanana: I plan to drink Belgian beer, eat Polish sausages, and shoot off Chinese fireworks to celebrate America's independence.
- 8:20 pm @sssemester I have the same problem! #moonfruit
- 8:04 pm @casthompson the winner looks like an account created just to win these contests. is that allowed? Either way, thanks for the contest
- 2:28 pm @y0mbo mind wandering: an app that logs when your doorbell is rung and tweets you w/ a picture of the person ringing the bell... #moonfruit
