I came across a post in the "Websites for Sale" thread on DNforum where a fellow Domainer has his www.Cannabis.com website posted looking for offers. It's listed on Ebay as well now. He has current offers of over $250k and is looking for $500k+. Now that's a nice piece of change. He states that the site averages about 7500 visitors per day and grosses between $7k and $10k per month. Now if that's correct (he provides stats pages) then owning and running just that one site could be a very profitable job/career/pasttime. Much of the value is in the Domain of course as some success could be expected of someone using the same name for type-in url bar traffic and covering the same or similar topics that are on the site for sale here, or on several other sites covering marijuana. The content appears to include a VB forum in large part covering the various topics. How tough would it be to create a new website that covers the same theme and maybe make a couple $k after a while? Not that I have the background or intimate knowledge of the subject. I do own a Domain that would seem to have some potential for such a site though that I picked up in a drop a couple years back. It's www.MarijuanaForum.com and as you can see, I haven't done anything with it to date. With some hosting, a VB forum license (around $100 a year), some thought and research, and some time spent at promotion it might come to be. $2k a month in revenues might make that site worth around $75K me thinks. I wonder if my son would have an interest?
