I’m a fan now. Superb article. Thanks.

First internet marketing blog that’s really shared anything of substance. This ties back with your newer post that talks about grouping niche sites…and it looks like you bought the entire “mini bike / pocket bike” niche all at once

I bought a dragon site back in 2003 for $10K . I reorganized it, added adsense, advertising banners and links and the site starting netting $4000/month. I held for about 15 months and ended up selling it for $120,000.
The strategy of buying and refurbishing is a great one especially when you can clearly see the current owner has no clue!

Yaro,

I’m into website flipping (you can read about it in my blog) – and your post inspired me.

What do you think about buying a turnkey (but promising) site from sitepoint dot com? I see some promising new site to offer at SP.

Thanks!

Yaro, this post alone has made me decide to purchase a blog for the first time. I currently run two blogs with a small amount of traffic, but that will all change soon hopefully. Keep bringing on the good info! Thank you!

This is a great success story that I would like to be able to replicate but without having that kind of start up capital, would creating a niche site new be able to produce similar results over the long term?

Let’s not forget that you can also make money by buying a brand new domain that no one else has and then selling it. This is difficult because you really have to be on trend (and in some cases, on “fad”), but this is something that I will be trying in the next few months. I seem to have a bit of a knack for picking good ones, so we’ll see how it goes.

Very Interesting articles I have ever read before about buying sites. Its really an amazing post and felt happy after reading this post.

Wow what a great idea! It would seem though that just looking at the auctions that people could inflate what they actually make off of the sites. How did you go about making sure that they actually make money? If you split your money off of the site with a partner, you might need to multiply this a few time over to make a good living off of them because they would come and go over time.

I think you are making some smart business moves Yaro. I like how you brought in someone to watch the sites and work on improving the monetization. I think Rob will really help you out as you purchase more sites. Thanks for your informative site.

Is $2000-$20000 a good range, should we use this as a guage?

You do need to reinvest some of your income as you say. Buying under monetized, developed websites is great for building passive income.

I paid $2500 for just the domain name australiaforum.com. I have since put the site together and now creates a little bit of passive income.

That was a great pick up getting these sites. I recently bought a sudoku site on sitepoint, but having problems with the script on my host.

@Ben, it sounds drastic but it’s not quite that bad I’m putting out a podcast on my blog tonight where I talk about that.

I’m also a computer programmer – must be something about programmers becoming entrepreneurs! Though I actually want to make a living with software.

Heya Yaro,

Good article. My following of blogs has waxed and waned, but yours is one I’ve always periodically popped back to catch up on.

Only thing is, when I follow the whatisdominiche.com link it takes me to one of my most despised kind of page – a long sales letter.

Yes it’s more pleasant to read that most, but I automatically mistrust anything presented in such a format.

That said, I DO trust your site and postings – over time you’ve proven your street cred

@Caroline: Wow, you’re brave taking the leap into the unknown with so little backup! I myself have also just quit my job, but I had a (tenuous) plan in place (leased an existing business closer to our life’s hobby/passion). Was a bit of a change jumping from computer programming to retail sales in pet products, but so far I have no regrets.

Regards,
Ben.

Hi Yaro,

Nice article. I was wondering how do you go about checking out the ‘numbers’ such as traffic stats / revenue etc that are listed in the auction details?

Hi Yaro! You really inspired me to buy and sell websites. It is really very interesting. I didn’t know that you can earn so much by buying and selling websites.

Thanks Yaro! Really appreciate it!

Jon that’s a crazy amount for a blog – I hope it’s got some good numbers. I don’t see your email there so if you do want to get in touch with me, use contact info listed at the top of my site.

Yaro, I’d like to chat with you about a blog I’m considering buying for $250,000. No, I’m not kidding. Shoot me an e-mail, if you have a chance.

Hi Yaro,

Great information, fantastic article. You know what makes your site so much better then the one million want-to-bes out there.

a) you know what you are talking about
b) you back it up with actual figures
c) you provide relevant, new, novel information and ways at looking at this emerging field.

This is a well thought out strategy, and could be replicated by the right person if the find the right niche site at the right time.
