Hi everyone , I'm new and want to buy domains that make $5 a day

[bidawinner]

I'd read a story the other day about a domain that sold for 1.9 million and I knew instantly that domaining was for me.

But I know I'll need to start small.


I need to make at least $150 a day to pay the bills.


I figure I should be well diversified and would like to to start off by purchasing 30 names making $5 a day each.

What will that cost me ....10K or so ?

Nah that's too much like hard work.

Just register mysiteaboutstuff.cc, post up some pages of content and then drop in adsense and wait.

You will then be able to sell for $280m like last.fm did.

thank you for replying safesy .I'm not folowing you though.

Where is the hard work ? ..I mean all I have to do is buy these $5 a day domains ..I simply need to know how much they will cost me

how much will 30 names each making $5 a month cost me ?

bid, I may have misread this given your history - but I took it this was tongue in cheek not a serious request.

Assuming this is a real request, then you're really looking at a revenue multiple of at least 8 years for a generic with type-ins - but more likely into double figures.

In the first post where you said $5 per day that'd be:

5 x 365 x 8 = $14,600 per name x 30 = $438,000

for $5 per month as per the second post, that's:

5 x 12 x 8 = $480 per name x 30 = $14,400

Where is the hard work ?

these days the hard work is in earning the money to be able to afford them in the first place at full market value or in expending the time and effort to locate domains that are not being monetized as efficiently as they could meaning the sellers multiple you pay isn't the same as the multiple you would hope to achieve.

his post certainly was tongue in cheek as was his response...it was just confusingly written

.. Bingo


Yes safe that $438,000 was what I came up with ..


Just pointing out how difficult it is for the "working person" to get involved because of the costs .

This is in large part why I develop .. I dont and didnt have 400K laying around to just to create a $150 a day revenue stream..

I am able though to develop that same $150 a day revenue stream for less than 1K or so

For me to make the same internet income I make now (through buying revenue domains)..I need close to a half a billion dollars .. thats simply unrealistic in my world.

[draqon]

what internet income do you make now? i'm pretty sure you don't need half a billion dollars in today's money to buy those domains. domains aren't THAT valuable.

just under $200 a day

So you see my point Dragon.. it just dosnet make any sense for me to go into debt for a half billion and not even be making a profit for 8 years ...

Well Dragon thats where the debate comes in..

clearly 8 times is well within the going rate ..The reason I posted this thread the way I did was to get someone else to actually post the Math..

Safe came through very nicely (sorry Paul.. If I post numbers I'm nuts..if a"real" domainer posts the numbers then they are valid)

It is certainly possible to buy $5 a day domains at 24 months that will probably lose that $5 a day beforethey are ever paid off..but ot buy half way quality that the revenues will continue and or grow 8 times is pretty much going rate..

so to make $150 a day revenue ..a buyer needs $438,000

[safesys]

half a billion - thats $500,000,000.

Given we're talking about 8 year multiple that puts your current earnings at: $62.5m per annum. Well done

added: I see you meant half a million not billion at $200 per day.

...ok ok half a million

see half a million half a billion when it's so far out of reach it's all the same

Thing is bid, if you'd joined in the fruit picking back at the start of the decade rather than arguing against .com you'd have been able to earn substantially more than you are now at pretty much reg fee. The opportunity was in plain sight to you.

[draqon]

ok, i see the edit now

Thats not true Safe ..thats like saying if you bought gasoline for 30 cents a gallon in 1970 you wouldnt be paying $3.00 a gallon now .. it's all relative .. income and costs

Besides thats not the point I am making..the point I am making is it is far to easy and less expensive for those of us without a half a million dollars(just sitting around) in todays or yesterdays money to simply develop the same revenue ..

[draqon]

i definitely see your point about the financial costs for a newbie who wants to buy his way into the traffic game, no disagreement here!

out of curiosity, if you can develop a $150/day revenue stream on a domain for less than 1k, how much time does it take to do so? Seems you should be earning 2000 dollars per day if its so easy.
