So how do you make money from business names?

The secret is to find out if there are potentially high value names in your area that have yet to be registered. Sometimes people let these names lapse so they become available again as well.

What are high value business names?

The reason some names are deemed to be “high value” is because the business name matches a popular keyword search in Google.

Things like “Designer Trainers” or “Cheap Cruise Holidays” would be examples.

Most of these names with “global appeal” will already be taken.

There are high value names that you can find and use for your business.

How to come up with the best business name?

The easiest example of a high value name is one where the name contains the product or service you are offering and the location you are in.

So people will search for things on Google like

“Birmingham Cleaning Company”
