Do you think if I kept blogging, or shifted the focus of my blog, I could actually bring in ad revenue? Not sure where to get started with that, but definitely an option. How much money is to be made for quality daily content?
You can test the waters by going to google and opening an Adsense account. This takes awhile, but afterwards you can plonk a variety of content-responsive Adsense ads on each page of your site.
I get a ton of traffic driven from the .net and .biz extensions.
'A ton of traffic' is very relative. Do you receive a few hundred visitors per month, or is it well into the thousands, or tens of thou's? If it is high traffic, then Adsense on your sport site could do quite well and possibly add comfortably to your monthly income. If it's low traffic, makes more sense to sell the domain.
Where do I find end users? If I had an offer in the $5K range, I would have no choice but to accept it.
You type your keywords, and a related variety of keywords into search engines. On each site that comes up, you find the contact emails and begin emailing end users. There is a great thread here on finding potential end users, how to approach them, how to word your letters, etc.
Are there companies that would sell it for me and take a %? People on here that want to collect a fee? I think I have some reading to do.
There are a few members here very good at emailing end users and making the sale. But they will want a good percentage of the sale... no domain agent wants to put in hours and days of work only to make a couple hundred $, when they can make more pushing their own domains.
You can also ask a domain agent at a company like Sedo.com if they think it is worth one of their agents trying to broker your domain.
Some one point me in the direction where I can start reading. Would I make more money parking it?
Forget domain parking, it is dead for all except the top-level domains that receive a ton of type-in traffic. If you want the ad route, go for Adsense.
By the way, forgot to mention that M V P Forum . com was to be included in the price offer. The guy wants both sites for the offer price.
Ha; mvp forum is worth almost as much as mvp fitness, IMO
Couple nice names you snabbed there.
Note that if you type "mvp fitness" into google, you also find it as part of the domain string in other domains, like mvpfitnessgym, mvpfitnesstraining, mvpfitnesscare, etc., as well as being registered in a variety of extensions.
When you see your domain as part of the string of longer domains, you know they would all like to own it.
I could write for 2 hours about all this stuff. Yes, you have some reading to do. We're bothering with you because you have a couple good names and we don't want to see you take a soaking on them just because you're in a hurry to pay bills. I know what that is like, of course... so only you can make the call.
For those two domains, I think a good domain broker should be able to find buyers in the $1.5K - 5K range for each, given time. If you found the 'perfect buyer' then of course the price could skyrocket, but I believe I've given you some accurate and sober general valuations for most cases.
But if you don't feel you have time, then negotiate whatever you feel you can live with. You take a bath when you want to sell fast, but taking a bath is sometimes all you can do if things are tight or dire
