discuss Is MakeMoney.com Worth $10 Million?

[larryscott2559]

In your opinion is MakeMoney.com worth $10 million dollars? Often time when I see an advertisement or watch a television show or just walking and over hearing a conversation I check for those words/phrases in the form of domain names, in hopes to get lucky or just out of curiosity. I saw something that said "Free Money" so I typed FreeMoney.com. I image all of the ways they could generate money from their website and frankly I think they could be doing a lot more. Then on one of their menu tabs I saw "Make Money". Naturally I typed MakeMoney.com. The domain name asking price is listed at $10 million dollars by DomainNameBroker.com (they actually have some heavy hitters domain names). I have no doubt that MakeMoney.com is worth a million dollars, but 10? Have any domain name ever sold for so much? The opportunity for a company owning MakeMoney.com could absolutely be out of this world which is why I believe it is worth a lot but if you had $100 million dollars would you invest $10 million on this domain?

Nah. So many better options at that price-point.

 

[WingMan]

No, it isn't worth $10 million. That's just to give enough room for bargaining with a serious buyer.

 

[Mark White]

Nope. Totally not worth $10M. Crypto.com is probably worth about $10M (maybe).

well if that's the case, I should do ok with.. Crypto.co.ve
as soon as they get it together over there. Breaking News! Bitcoin is booming over there.

It is probably high 5 figure or low six figure domain for a smart end-user.

Investing seven figure to this domain is not a good business plan imo.

It can sell for a million dollar but I don't think their service would pay them a million dollar in the next 5 years.

There are better alternatives for a 10 Million Dollar budget in the market, I believe.

Domain name’s have no value

You're on the wrong forum if you think that.

I could go on eBay and buy a great domain name for under 30 bucks

You're on the right forum (to learn) if you think that.

the reality of domain name prices can be seen on eBay

The reality of domain name prices can be seen anywhere a domain name is listed with a price. What you said makes no sense.

las vegas.com was shilled up to 90 million.

What proof do you have of this?


As for MakeMoney.com, it's obviously 6 figures given the potential traffic and usage, and possibly low 7 figures. But not 10 mill in general.
"asking price" doesn't necessarily reflect potential value.

 

[TSB]

No, But it all depends on the buyers and their product.

 

[nitg16]

No doubt the two keywords here are really attractive to lots of users who look to make easy money or want to work from home.

If there is an already established business in this niche, with millions of turnover and profit, then it could be good investment for them. But even then 10 million is too overwhelming.

For a startup in this niche, I think it doesn't make sense to invest this kind of money on an overpriced domain, whatever amount of funding they may have received.

So, yes the domain is way overpriced. But owners will not sell it for peanuts either and they will look for high six figures at least.

AdBlocker.com is also listed for sale at $10M by same company.

They are pricing their inventory so high so that when a qualified offer comes at lets say $500K for AdBlocker.com they will accept it, buyer will think they are getting a great deal at $500K for a domain listed for sale at $10M.

I've read about this kind of pricing strategy and applied it myself, sold a few domains this way. When I want to sell a domain at $3K I would list it at $10K BIN with make offer so when an offer comes at $3K I accept, buyer thinks he is getting a great deal, everybody is happy. It also creates a chance that somebody might hit $10K BIN button.

how often did that work
versus
buyer went quiet ?
as he understodd

Anyone who has been in the domain space for at least a couple years can attest to the difficulty of selling domains at premium prices. Yet companies do spend serious money on advertising, business travel, IT costs, office rents, etc. So relatively speaking...

 

[bmugford]

MuchIf this domain were being auctioned at Namejet with no reserve, where do you think the bidding would end up? My guess no more than $2500. I am not convinced this name is really worth much more than low five figures.

Very average domains are selling for far higher prices on NameJet now.

I would pay $100K+ for it today if the owner would take it, and that would be a massive deal.

I really need to review my prices. I've got "trade for money" up for sale at $100, and crypto trading is big business. I wouldn't have valued MakeMoney.com at more than $xx,xxx. I guess I need to revisit name bio.

Lol

If I may suggest,

A very few may get lucky. That few equals to Less than .0001 of all selling domain names in the world for the year, minus the temporary serge in the extension market.

In general domain name’s sale prices will continue to drop as the domain market is flooded with new dot this and dot that domain name’s. In general, they are basically worthless now, with another 300 million new domain names expected within the next few years.

Only reason that I could think of "MakeMoney.com" would sell for $10 million today is if Google still ranked Exact Match Domains as highly in their algorithm as in the past and the owner had a long term plan..
just my thought

 

[xynames]

You'd look to see what money.com sold for (or is worth). makemoney.com is worth a lot less.

You can assume that these "domain sales" were primarily the sales of the (running / branded) businesses behind these domains while the domains itself were "only" part of these deals.

A pure domain sale, even wayyy above these sales range can happen only if the domain is outstanding ultimate in it's first glance.

sounds like things aren't looking too hot for the future of domaining..

are you thinking about quitting domaining by any chance?

Yes agree with you about the assumption.

Pretty sure that some of the premium keywords (Hotel, Beer, Porn, Porno, etc) listed on the wikipedia page would get good money ,no matter what the extension..

If MakeMoney.com is Worth $10 millions so my domain

AcquireTokens.com could be Worth $10,000 ... ???

 

[cronaldo]

I think MakeMoney.com can be sold from $300k - $3 million

 

[DeliDomains]

I would say high six figure.

 

[namerav]

Maybe a million dollars
