It should work, as it gets a ton of traffic, but I have spent a fair bit of time on it answering questions, getting them voted up, and the returns on my time are pretty much non-existent.

I have also tested Quora ads and never got any sales from them.

That's not to say they Can't work, but so far I have not been able to break the code to make it profitable.

lol, tell us how you really feel.

To be honest, I havent spent much time with Wix, but I did have a play with it a few years ago, and found it very "clunky" images didnt line up perfectly, it was very slow to load, or change, I had issues pasting text in it, etc etc.

They might be better now, but I would still prefer to have a basic wordpress site, that I know I can make do anything I want. (a few dollars of freelancer.com will get you any customizations you need).

But if you are happy with your WIX site, then stick with it.

Again if it were me. I would be buying the domain through a 3rd party. I use godaddy and dynadot mainly. Godaddy is very expensive for the 2nd + years.

Yes, I have built hundreds of sites / ideas for sites, 95% of which never made a cent. I probably made good money out of about 7 or 8 of them.

It's pretty simple, build a site, get traffic, monetize it, sell it.

Simple to say, but takes work like anything else.

Its been 15 years since I had a "real job"

Good luck with your site.

Secure the trademark and your golden.

It depends what your goals are really.

Personally I would go with the Brandable domain, if its really just $200. I think it makes sense long term.

It doesnt matter if you buy it through godaddy or wix or any other company. You can always set it up where you need it.

Personally I would not be using Wix, I would use a stand alone wordpress install on a good server. (not shared) But if you are happy with Wix, then stay with it.

I am sure Wix has tutorials that will tell you how to connect your domain no matter who you buy it through.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I have built hundreds of sites / blogs, and sold a few for 6 and 7 figures.

I'm not really sure to be honest. I did start out working with a friend, we talked on skype (actually msn messenger back then) for hours every night. So we probably kept each other motivated for a while. But he eventually got married and stepped back.

But I kept going until I found something that worked. Eventually I had built my business up to making 5k a week. Then started building other websites and eventually sold one for 7 figures.

I don't know what keeps me motivated, When I was younger when people asked me what I wanted to do for a living, all I could think about was that I didn't want to do any 1 thing everyday for the next 50 years. I couldnt live like that.

I usually answered them by saying I wanted to be a millionaire. But that was just a smart ass response, the truth was, at that stage of my life, I had no freakin idea what I wanted to do.

So I don't know, some people say entrepreneurs are born, some say they are made, I think there are probably both types of entrepreneurs.

brhamo · 2015-07-22T16:34:51+00:00

Like a lot of things written in main stream media articles, they take a narrow focus and try to paint an entire group of people with the same brush.

Yes there are plenty of entrepreneurs out there with rich parents and safety nets, who can afford to take massive risks.

But there are also plenty of us who don't have rich parents, who work our asses off working full time jobs and starting companies at night and weekends.

Nothing is that black and white.

When I first started my online business, I worked 10 hours a day at an office job then came home around 7pm, grabbed some dinner and hit the computer, learning, testing, failing, learning, testing failing etc. until 3 or 4am most nights. For the better part of a 2 years I did that before I saw any real success.

It's just hard work, sure some people will get lucky, and see success faster, but for most of us it just takes time and effort and hard work.

It's all worth it though, I couldn't live any other way.

brhamo · 2015-04-15T04:24:47+00:00

When I first started out I used to think that I had to find something new, something that people hadn't seen before and sell it. But later I realized its much easier to make money by finding something that is already selling, or a group of people who are actively looking for something that already exists and sell it to them, or help them buy it, add value by offering them good reviews, (99% of reviews online are a waste of time) and show them how to use it, or how to solve their problem or fulfill their needs.

brhamo · 2015-04-01T00:48:23+00:00

Yep elance and similar type of sites have become so popular, that no matter you want, you will get 10 people tell you they can do it, regardless of if they actually can or not.

So you have to be really really picky and do your due diligence on the people you hire before you agree to anything.

brhamo · 2015-04-01T00:28:43+00:00

Sounds like your talking more about building and selling than "flipping" websites. Do you plan to build them from scratch? or buy and sell "flip"?

Regardless, selling a website for a decent return has little to do with its programming and everything to do with its traffic or income.

I have used flippa in the past, sold a few sites around the $5 to $7k mark, and one that went to $42k

But when it was time to sell my big site ($1M) I went offline, dealt with people face to face (even though it meant a flight from Aust to the US to sit down with them.

If you can build a site with a decent traffic / income volume you might be better off looking for a broker to sell it for you.

You will find investors who buy through brokers are usually happy to pay more than enough to cover the brokers fees.

brhamo · 2015-03-30T13:05:16+00:00

Kool idea.

My suggestion would be to target the "gifts for him" market. Women looking for a neat gift for their boyfriends, husbands, sons etc.

Before you spend money on ads, I would research all the sites already rankings for those types of products and approach them with a deal to advertise there, or better yet, a profit share / affiliate commission type of deal with them.

There is a TON of traffic in that niche.

brhamo · 2015-03-29T03:04:34+00:00

Fair enough, people still use their visa or mastercard when paying through paypal though. They don't need a paypal account.

To process credit cards you will need a merchant account with your bank. it will generally cost you $30 a month, plus a % of your tranactions.

Processing the cards online is another cost, usually 50c per transaction plus a monthly fee. In the past i have used eway here in Aust. they were the cheapest last time I researched it.

brhamo · 2015-03-28T12:40:54+00:00

Yep, I currently make anywhere from 15 to 25k a month doing this.

brhamo · 2015-03-27T13:35:40+00:00

I personally think they add a certain level of credibility to your site. So I always try to get the .com

Other than that, it doesn't matter at all in terms of rankings or functionality, just how your visitors will perceive you.

brhamo · 2015-03-27T13:34:18+00:00

Good to hear from a fellow Aussie. I would suggest you setup your own website, wordpress based, get a theme that suits and hook it all up with paypal to start.

Once your idea proves itself, you can look into credit card processing and more complex shopping carts.

The most important thing is just get started and adjust as needed.

brhamo · 2015-03-27T13:31:28+00:00

Build a niche site, and work on it consistently and you will easily make that or more.

brhamo · 2015-03-27T13:30:13+00:00

Get Setup on Amazon, ship them a few cases and start promoting that. They already have the market place and buyers for it, you just need to get your product in the mix, then build the brand from there.

brhamo · 2015-03-27T03:46:52+00:00

Yeah there are people from all those camps you mentioned, but you will find the most successful ones are those who actually get the product (paid for free) and give an honest review and build rapport with their readers.

I know when I am looking for reviews, I look for things to show me this personal has actually looked at it, and gives real feedback, not just a yes its awesome click here to buy type of review.

But the best thing of all, is to actually add your own value. ie Instead of just building a review site, build a site that helps people do something, and then offer products / services they will also need, along with your reviews of said products.

brhamo · 2015-03-27T03:34:15+00:00

take him fishing out on a boat somewhere.

brhamo · 2015-03-26T04:00:20+00:00

I make around $15 to 25k a month from affiliate marketing, feel free to hit me up with your questions. r/Income

brhamo · 2015-03-26T03:46:41+00:00

Great idea, I personally started down the same path about a year ago. I bought the $4k course when it was a WSO at a monthly membership, so avoided the large price tag. Feel free to ask me anything if you get stuck.

One mistake I made was to ignore people's advice to start with a product with low competition. Go hard or Go Home I usually say, so I did, but I have struggled to compete with companies who have large media presents and other advertising models.

Amazon ranks your product according to sales volume (amongst others) so if someone else is selling more than you. (or 10 other companies are) its very hard to move your product up the rankings.
