Let's do some math

Im building an authority site right now. As I start to do the math it seems like its a slam dunk. What ya think...

Let's assume it will have 500 articles and I paid 10 each for them. My cost is 5000.

Let's assume each of those articles bring in 1 visitor per day. That's 500/day or 15000/ month.

Let's assume I get a CRT of 5%.

That's 750 clicks / month

Lets assume I get .50 cents a click.

That's $375/month

Here's where it gets fun. With that revenue I could flip for 4k pretty easy.

But let's be honest. We're gonna do better than 1 visitor/page on average.

Just some food for thought. Seems like break even would be around month 2. Not bad...

  • Ha ha numbers gotta love 'em. You seem to be on the right track, but don't count your chickens with a 5%CTR. Can definitely be a lot less. Either way though flipping it would probably be a good idea.
  • Yeah but you're going to be flipping it after a year? maybe 2 years?

    It's a great long term strategy but for many people this isn't a great business model.
