Auction2post - Great ROI!
THE TOTAL WAS TAKEN TODAY - asset acquisition date: sept. 15, 2009
...OK so we were closing out the books for the past few days and I thought I'd share this.
This is a
COMPLETELY UNSOLICITED mini-review/case study.
Basically the gist of it all was:
1) one night I'd been chatting with a WF'er who met radiowf at Affiliate Summit and commented on how he liked the software
2) I then read a post while shooting the shit one day - written by SEO Mike on Auction to Post (too tired to link to it, just look around...)
3) I had done some work with radiowf earlier in the year and really thought he was a good programmer and very good with his customer service
4) There were some domains whose traffic wasn't getting monetized ideally and this program looked like a
fun way to make money online for pleasure. Instead of having someone set it up I actually hunkered down one weekend and just tried it myself - mostly for fun!!
5) I had a n00b problem and radiowf personally fixed it for me.
I mean PERSONALLY. If you have ever chatted with him you know he's a busy guy!!
6) I told him he should think about going on a pal's
investment radio show of a friends 'cause other people in the biz would love hearing about this (hope it's forthcoming soon!)
7) I hinted to radiowf that I would love to get a discount on those spiffy new themes and the guy actually gave them away. I would have gladly paid but I thought that was a stand up thing to do
8)
One can never have too many talented, ambitious friends in this line of work - so since seeing helps believing, I thought hell, why not show some real world examples of a less than 3 week 100+% ROI on my investment!!
The first graphic is when I paid him. The second graphic (hell further up is the date but it didn't get cropped right, needless to say it was the 16th).
Anyway. This ROI doesn't really include the hours I spent toying with it but because that was fun I didn't count it. Also this domain was not new it was aged and I can't say this is typical results for a new domain probably.
That said, if you have some dormant domains laying around, this should just show you some potential of what one can do quickly or easily!!
The best part about this program as SEOMike hinted is that it is fun. If you have some hobbies, you can monetize them. I mean it doesn't feel like work when you are chilling out and it relaxes the mine and brain.
If you like collecting vintage soccer cards, vintage designer clothes, commercial fridge's - whatever - you can have a site up in no time...
Anyway, that's it - would be curious to hear about other's experiences too!
