Are Some Webmasters Financial Masterminds?

Online Investment and website assetsI just finished reading a great book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki. And I thought that I should write about the financial intelligence of some webmasters.

Many of the people that daily are active in the buy/sell website forums, they have understood what it is all about. They are financial intelligent, so to say.

Here’s the reason for my statement:

  • They are always on the looking for good investments
  • They buy websites for the revenue generated by their websites
  • They improve the websites to generate higher revenues
  • They sell websites for more than they were bought for

This means that they constantly improve their cash flow by improving their website portfolio. And thereby become richer every day. The webmasters are not working for money anymore, the money are working for the webmasters.

Considering that websites typically sell for amounts around 12 months of revenue, this is also a very attractive market. If you’re constantly buying new assets for all the revenue generated by those you currently own, you’ll be experiencing an amazing growth.

Also remember that if you have a corporation for your business you won’t have to pay much in taxes (maybe even nothing) because you get tax deductions for your purchases / investments.

Of course webmasters don’t have to invest in new websites, they can just as well invest in the growth of their current websites.

Popular Arcade Website for Sale, ~30,000 daily uniques

onlinegames.net arcade website screenshotOnlineGames.net has been put up for sale at SitePoint. This is a very popular flash games website with many sorts of games - from sudoku games to action games. It has about 30,000 unique visitors a day. The site makes near $3,500 monthly through Adsense, YPN, Casale Media and Fastclick.

The traffic has been stable for several months according to seller, so it - as he says - should be a good investment. The starting bid is $45,000 with a BIN of $120,000. I’m not sure it is worth the BIN, but then again a website with this kind of traffic is often worth A LOT MORE than the “usual” 12 months of revenue.

Image Hosting Network for Sale, ~$2000 monthly profit

Oniva.com screenshotAn image hosting network with three different sites is for sale at SitePoint.

The sites are:
oniva.com - previously myphotospace.com
myphotodrive.com
afreeimagehost.com

The seller wants $45,000 for the sites, which I find rather high. First of all, the price is around 2 years of profit. Another reason for why the price to be too high, is that the revenue has been dropping a bit over the last year. So could anyone really expect to earn back their investment in a reasonable time? I’m not sure - I wouldn’t take the chance.
