new site

another new site - urldwarf.com

Another domain, another logo, another design and another site rolled out…

This time it’s urldwarf.com - it’s a similar site to sawurl which i sold last week for $140. This one will be cheaper as it took less time to make (did it this morning in about 3 hours). I’ll set a BIN of about $100.

You might think why don’t i sell it for $140, or more? The answer is i’m not going to inflate prices just because i can… i like to see people thinking they’re getting a great deal and not only i am earning well above minimum wage for the time spent working on these sites, i’m also gaining experience and contacts through selling the sites so i’m not going to be greedy and up my prices just because people are buying my sites at the BIN prices

I also know that if i start making ‘too much’ per site, i’m gonna get lazy and stop mass producing sites like i’m doing at the minute. Coming up with ideas, designing sites and selling them is an art and it’s something i want to become a master at. I’m never going to reach that stage if i put money and profits first.

I’m still feeling hungry for work, even more so this week for some reason, so expect to be bombarded with more sites throughout the week

Since my 3 sites a week challenge started, look at the number of sites i’ve created;

• petprison.com
• stupiddrivers.net
• snapbone.com
• sawurl.com
• ajaximagehost.com
• imagehostme.com
• socialwtf.com
• urldwarf.com

Sold 4 so far, 2 failed to sell and the other two haven’t been put up for sale yet. So 8 completed sites in 12 days since i announced the challenge

Social WTF

Everyone knows WTF stands for ‘What the Fuck’. Commonly used when you’re just lost for words or stunned by something. Like this…

WTF?! It’s just become part of internet language… not really used in the real world - yet - but you’ll see it on comments, blogs, forums and basically anywhere online.

I’ve just bought the domain Social WTF dot com (www.socialwtf.com). I’ve also create a fancy new logo for it.

The idea behind this is pretty simple. The site will be running on pligg. People can submit links to crazy people’s social networking profiles, videos or any sort of social profile information. Basically it’ll be highlighting all the nutters out there and there’s plenty of them online

I haven’t seen the idea used elsewhere, i’m sure it DOES exist as it’s pretty simple, and i’m sure some of you guys are going to spoil it and say ‘oh, but x does that already’

I suppose digg.com is essentially the same thing when you boil it down, but it’s the specific niche that will make this site. If i can create a blog, get some free ads on facebook and the like i’m sure it’ll prove to be somewhat successful.

Like holidayratings.com, this is another domain i plan on holding on to as it’s pretty cool. Not really worth anything at the minute but it has major potential if i can carve out a niche for it. I’ve been playing around with pligg these past few days so i’m getting used to it. Once i can hack together a theme of some sort i’ll roll SocialWTF out ASAP just to get it out of the way and clear my backlog of new sites.

I also have HolidayRatings to get up and running, GroundRage still has to go live and of course we can’t forget BeerChief v2. In between all that i’m flipping sites left, right and center…. imagehostme, sawurl, snapbone, ajaximagehost etc…

I don’t have a clue how i’m going to make money with these new sites or if they’ll be successful etc… it doesn’t matter… all i know is that they’re good ideas, decent names and they’ll be worth the effort when all is said and done.

Pet Prison up and running…

PetPrison.com is up and running. It’s a domain i bought a while back… i created a nice logo in adobe illustrator and i’ve spent a couple of hours creating a custom theme.

I’m hoping the custom design and logo will make it more attractive to buyers. We’ll see. I’ll add more content, then sell it ASAP (as in this week).

In total, i’ve probably spent about 3 hours getting the site the way it is (buying name/ syncing with server / installing wordpress / designing logo / template).

So lets take minimum wage in Ireland at the minute - €8.65 ($13.53) Times it by three to get $40.59. Add in the domain name cost at $6 and hosting (lets say $2) and that brings the total ‘expenditure’ to ~$50… (i know you can’t put a price on time, that’s what i’ve done for the sake of experiment)… in a real job for example i couldn’t earn more than minimum wage with no qualifications.

I’d imagine petprison.com is worth $70/80 now, maybe more. I’ll have to wait and see. But it’ll be an interesting experiment. I *could* churn out sites like these for fun if i wanted to… in the past i haven’t been able to custom design them - that’s been the problem.

But if this site was to sell for, say, $100, it would mean i could theoretically work part time on the net for double the minimum wage It’s not something i’ve ever looked at in great detail, but if i *were* to spend a set amount of time creating new sites and selling them every week, it could well be worth my while in the short-medium term.

So although petprison.com is just a small niche site that i’ll flip, i will be looking at the bids closely and doing some more number crunching after it sells.
