.mobi How much is your Mobi portfolio worth???

[Keith]

This is obviously just an educated guess on your part. Looking a few years out, what do you think the value of your mobi portfolio will be? I am approaching 400 mobis and think mine is in the mid $xxx,xxx range. I simply would not sell for anything less! Care to take a guess at yours?

do you have a link to your portfolio?

Maybe I could add it to Most Valuable Portfolios?

im shooting for 87 cents exactly.. but anything above 50 cents will be ok.

Assuming .mobi achieves some public acceptance in 3-5 years I'm well into the six figures, probably even seven figures assuming the names have traffic and cash flow. But then I probably won't want to sell them.

That's pretty much where I stand as well -- if there's major success for the extension down the road, I think I'm doing pretty well. If not, well...it was fun while it lasted.

I think that a lot of the mobi portfolios I have seen on the different forums will still be worthless in a few years even if mobi were to take off and become a top extension. A lot of people are just dreaming that their portfolios will be worth 6 or 7 figures but thats not the reality when you look at their names (i'm not necessarily talking about people in this thread, I just mean in general). I have seen some portfolios that have the potential to be worth quite a bit though. Some peoples portfolios would still not be worth that much even if they had the same names but all in .com. I have a portfolio of around 600 .mobi names, 80-90% of which I think are good. There are always going to be a handful of names you regret regging. I have no clue how much my own portfolio could be worth in a few years but I didnt invest for the short term and I didnt invest to only triple my money or make a small profit so I also would not sell my portfolio unless it was for a very large amount.

My thoughts exactly! My .mobi portfolio is in my sig, and it really depends on whether or not .mobi succeeds in the long run. But even if it doesn't take off, it has been fun indeed!

Just thought I'd add a link to my .Mobi portfolio...let me know if you don't think this'll be worth 6 to 7 figures in the event of .MOBI success. It would only take an average of about $200 per domain at that point to reach 6 figures, and I'm fairly certain that would be the case.

Note that I'm NOT talking about current value...although to be completely honest I'd be surprised if I couldn't get 6 figures for it even now with a little footwork and effort finding some end users.

right now, my portfolio is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

is it for sale?

no.

am I developing?

yes.

that's where the real value lies.

what will a developed .mobi be worth... as compared to a parked or dormant .mobi?
imho, much more.

the important question is:
so, what is my portfolio worth to Me? my family? Our future? The answer is determined by how much I am willing to put into development in order to build true value through monetization, cross-marketing/sales, traffic-flow to my "PC" sites, extended mobile services for my PC sites, etc...

if some of you believe your domains will be worth $100 EACH, OR $1,000s each (or more), won't development of those domains over the next 5 years (even simplified development using free tools out there) help that goal be realized and add a better foundation to what those domains are worth?

i.e.

I own Single.mobi - bought it around Christmas 2006.
The premium (held by mtld) domain: Singles.mobi sold for $40,000+ at recent TRAFFIC live auction. Does that instantly make my domain "worth" anywhere near that amount? Yes, No, Maybe, Maybe not.

But when I develop it into a social network that allows users to network, connect, meet, track, locate, message, etc and if I can build the userbase to even 1,000 members by this time next year and give those members all the viral tools they need to promote the site, will my domain have a better chance of being worth $40,000? Of course. What if I have 100,000+/- members within 3 years? What is that domain/site now worth? I hope many .mobi owners realize that you need to DEVELOP DEVELOP DEVELOP... that is key... unless you have an AMAZING portfolio that sells itself, we can all have a serious impact on the .mobi universe/ecosystem if we choose to develop even 1 domain in our portfolio.

if you're reading this and don't agree that DEVELOPMENT is important, just imagine what happens to the value of your .mobi portfolio is NO ONE CARES, if there are no .mobi sites out there for users to find/enjoy... what is your domain worth if that happens? you can sit back and wait&see or be proactive and spend 1 hour of your time each week (or day) and build a new site or put more time into an existing site.

if some of you are lost on how to begin development, look thru your own portfolios and find the EASIEST site to build that you can get content for and/or provide content on your own. then go to MTLD's site and find links to all the tools they've made available. if you don't have any domains that can work for development, then might I suggest you register a local city name in your area and build a local directory. you can find ways to monetize later (by charging businesses, etc) but the content is easy to build and add to.

i.e.

if you live in MIAMI
go register 1 of the following:

miami.mobi
miamiINFO.mobi
miamiGUIDE.mobi
miamiSAVINGS.mobi
miamiREALESTATE.mobi
miamietcetcetcetc.mobi

etc... you get the idea.
you don't need them all... just by 1... and yes i know Miami is gone, but just target your city, or a local one and add some content, then contact a few newspapers, tv stations, etc, and see if they want to do a quick story on what you're working on... you never know. submit to a few search engines, place a classified ad, whatever it takes to drum up traffic.

plus deep inside, I know most people will just sit back and park their names and wait for a big payday to fall into their laps. Too many domainers look at their domains as lottery tickets.

ok, my rant is over. time for lunch.

good luck to everyone.

also, if you're looking for cheaper .mobis, godaddy has a coupon code for 2 .mobis FOR $20: gdm0236d (at checkout) - don't know how long it lasts (everywhere else is back to about $15 each).

I think I have a decent .mobi portfolio compared to most that I have seen, however none are for sale and I see most of my profits coming from development of one key mobile website. Stay tuned

 

[nrmillions]

development is good overall and for the extension but just because you develop a name does not automatically mean that it will be worth more than it was before or that it will be worth a lot. you could develop an entire portfolio of mobi names and the whole thing could still end up being worthless. development could lead to a much higher value than a parked name if your site were to become popular. when it comes to developing a name it wouldnt even matter how good or bad the actual name is such as youtube and google. All that matters is how much traffic you are getting to it. to develop and market a name properly to have a chance at it becoming huge could cost a fortune.

 

[qO_Op]

I have a large number of businesses coming on board. That's all I'm saying. Good luck to all of you.

I am approaching 400 mobis and think mine is in the mid $xxx,xxx range.

I gotta say that you must be out of your mind. I see you post some of your mobis. You seem to hand reg which means you have spent less than $5k so far...and you think you have half-million in mobi's? In what world do you live in?


btw...I have 5 mobis...I think the value is about $300 total..I have one LLL.mobi (dxd.mobi) and a few others.

 

[-REECE-]

I hope my portfolio will be worth $20k in 5 years... Because I'll have spent $20k in reg fees by then

edit: Nice portfolio Dagersh

Yes :lol:

I'm not one for high expectations... If this can provide me enjoyment for 5+ years, developing sites and reading up on dotmobi -- I'd be happy to breakeven. When I factor in how much I'm saving in reduced alcohol consumption due to putting all my spare cash in dotmobis -- I'd say I'll be 20k ahead in 5 years if I've spent 20k on mobi reg fees and can get that all back :hehe:

awesome way to put it...I save alot of gas (petrol) money by being home and looking at my domains compared to driving around looking for something to do...
