Well, been a couple days since last post. Had a busy weekend. Got to watch Albert Pujols hit 3 home runs on Sunday at the new ballbark. What a day…. but I better get back to business!
I watched this listing on ebay the other day: 7609391117 It was for beerlistings.com site. Initially, I liked the site, but I didn’t pull the trigger and bid. The auction ended for just over $160, so I am glad I didn’t try that hard for it. My reason is that if you look at the site, it is fun information, but I don’t know how many people would really be searching for this kind of information. You could always get into an arbitrage system (more on that in a later post), but I still don’t know if it would pan out. I figure if I can average $10/month on Adense revenue, then it’s going to take me 16 months to break even on the purchase. Right now, that’s not worth it to me. But, if I had $160 just laying around, I might throw it up against the wall and see if it stuck.
Talking about ROI and time to recoup your money, here is another listing that looks interesting: 7609102728 Why I like this one: 1)the seller has proof of earnings, although, it seems a little up and down since he has changed affiliates a couple of times, but this last move looks like a good one 2) this is for a good, profitable niche, although it could be argued maybe it’s a little too competitive, but he seems to have done well enough 3) he states he will give you the $30 ad that brings him 85% of his sales. That’s a nice perk I’d say! Based on his numbers, you could have your investment back in 2 months…. then it’s pure profit. The downside to all of this: who’s got $3,000 laying around to buy it… not a whole lot of newbies starting out can take a chance like this, like me right now, BUT, as I start building my web biz portfolio, I will be able to take chances like this.
That’s all for now. Coming up: a rating system for sites for sale. I came up with the idea this morning when I couldn’t sleep, so it still needs a little perfecting, but stay tuned!
