Thanks, interesting article!

JunkyardDog · 02-02-2004, 08:18 PM

That was a good article. Rick is a first class guy.

I remember when got everyone on the "go" domain gold mine hunts. Everyone on Ynot would go nuts trying to find that gem to try and sell to Rick. Good times.

$20 million in eight years isn't really impressive.

First, it's $20 million U.S., not Canadian.

Second, he made $20 million on traffic, he still owns all of the domain names except for three.

It's like making $20 million on renting out real estate that you own. He still owns all the property and he made that much.

quiet · 02-02-2004, 09:23 PM

the thing that is most amazing about that 20 mill, is the supposed ultra low overhead involved.

obviously I'm hanging out with the wrong people then, once again $20 million U.S funds revenue over 8 years isn't impressive.

that's SMALLER than a mid sized paysite, and smaller than even the annual revenue for MANY of the larger ones.

but it's nice to know that numbers like that are impressive to you. shows how small and useless you really are

I've seen this one too many times. Trying to go on the offensive with people who made it big just so they can be seen and heard. These people get a kick out of ANYONE actually replying to what they say and it doesn't matter what the reply is. That is just pathetic.

Keev · 02-02-2004, 09:50 PM

known the guy since i started dealing domains online in 99

Still plenty of good buys out there.... and plenty of stupid owners!

nathan_f · 02-02-2004, 09:51 PM

Definitely a great read.

best thing about webfather is when he figured something out he posted it on the boards for everybody. It was called a gold rush when he came out with something new.

Very smart fella, webfather.

no doubt - most business were built on them.

I love how many of the IDIOTS in this thread think that a 3 million dollar a year revenue (20 million divided by 8 years) is a top player in the adult business. - it's more like LOW end mid range of those that have a clue.

i'm not saying the guy is stupid or anything, that is a GREAT revenue. I'm just not hugly impressed by compaision of others I know in this game. And I'm thinking net too, not gross.

Well .. I am impressed cuz he doesn't have to work day in and day out and he is making all that money w/o any more effort at all.

And it seems that he doesnt have to do anything else.. and he will keep getting bigger and bigger..

Sleazy, you would be VERY surprised at how many of the people you think are ballers make less than this. There is a lot of posing on the boards but some of the biggest names out there aren't making as much as you think.

?While this sector was being ignored I quietly built a multi-million dollar business with no employees and an annual overhead of less than $50,000 and declining! I run the entire empire from a 7-pound laptop and wake up with absolutely no job to do other than what I decide to CREATE for the day. This all grew from an $1,800 investment in 18 domains. Then, using only the funds generated from those domains, I was able to grow the business from the ground up without outside investors or any of my own money. Now that?s a story that needs to be told!?

If that's not a good sales pitch then I don't know what is.

You're still missing the point, he owns the domains, he has plenty of domains worth 7 figures, some will eventually go for 8 again. PLUS he does more than just the domain stuff, that figure does not include all his income.

I'd like to see a paysite or a TGP run by an office of ONE net 3 million a year. Doubt they exist (anymore).

BradShaw · 02-02-2004, 10:41 PM

it's always the biggest showoffs who arn't really the largest players duuuuu

you'd probally be surprised at what some of the low key people I know actually make.
