TOP STORY
🎯 What is Brand Bucket?
Brand Bucket is like a special store for website names. You know how every website needs a name like "Google.com" or "Amazon.com"? Well, people buy and sell these names on Brand Bucket.
Think of it this way: You buy a domain name for $10, list it on Brand Bucket for $1, and when a company buys it from you, you could get $3,000 or more. Brand Bucket handles all the hard stuff - you just collect the money.
Here's what makes it special:
Companies pay top dollar for good names
You don't need any special skills
It's mostly passive income (you do the work once, then wait)
Some people make millions doing this
📈 The Numbers That Will Surprise You
Let me share some real facts about Brand Bucket:
Average Sale Price: $3,000 per domain
Success Rate: About 10-13% of listed domains actually sell
Time to Sell: Usually 6-12 months
Biggest Sales: Some domains sell for $150,000 or more
Real Example: One domain investor bought "CloudTech.com" for $12 and sold it for $15,000 just 8 months later. That's a 125,000% profit!

🔥 Advanced Tips from Million-Dollar Domain Sellers
Tip #1: Think Like a Business Owner Ask yourself: "Would I pay $5,000 for this domain if I owned a company?" If the answer is no, don't buy it.
Tip #2: Follow the Trends Watch what's hot in business news. AI companies need AI-related domains. Health companies need health-related domains.
Tip #3: Buy in Batches Don't buy one domain and wait. Buy 10-20 domains at once. This increases your chances of sales.
Tip #4: Keep Learning Join domain investor forums. Read case studies. Study what sells and what doesn't.
