I think that is accurate with certain conditions.
1. Put $20,000 worth of development into the site?
2. Go mainstream
3. Advertise in women's mags.
For example:
- contact swim suit companies and get all the hot models pics they have wearing their product. And post them with headshots.
Have a $300 bikini contest everyweek from surfer submissions.
Hire an "agent" to try to get commericals, print ads, playboy spreads etc... for your models/contest winners. "I started my career on bikinipage.com" is what you want the models saying.
Got enough cash to start a print magazine? Do it!
Etc...etc...
When you think like that the domain takes on a whole new value.
Bikini Page is a good "brand" for a mag/website and that's the value that the big guys understand.
A company with a 10 million budget to launch is not going to settle for
"bikinipage2.com" or ".net" of "lookatsomebikinis.com" they will fork over some cash to get the name they need.
But of course most of us think about the value as "If I make a thumbnailed site of hosted galleries...how much can I make?". That's small thinking.
