[Myst]

I dont want to reinvest back into online projects, I just dont have the time for it

Real estate is risky..
Where can I put the money to make a decent % annually?

[After Shock Media]

[V_RocKs]

Mutual funds... S&P 500... Real Estate...

Or spend it all on AskJolene.com and in about 50 years you will finally reach the end of the clicks...

[beemk]

if you're really scared of risk you could do a certificate of deposit. it doesnt pay much but its more than what you're getting. i invest in real estate myself.

Real estate in Spain, from 15% to 25% profit per year depending on the zone. It's were most of my bussines profit goes.

[John Marco]

real estate isn't risky if you buy something conservative.. Buy a $1mil apartment building and hire a good management company.. You will make about $15k/yr in cash from rents plus another $20k/yr in mortgage paydown and appreciation

Buy a high end type-in domain from a desperate seller at a price below market and put it on a PPC page. No work at all and the money will roll in like clockwork.

Additionally the domain will be an asset that will appreciate in value each year.

[John Marco]

KRL you got any for sale that fit that description?

I tried that... but my domains ended up not being so good.

www.camkingdom.com
www.campalace.com
www.cashgrowers.com
www.funround.com
www.luckyround.net
www.casinomedieval.com

but I am still on it...

Hebrew.com @ $125K is a good example of a long term type-in domain that is very well priced.

They aren't the type of type-in domains I'm talking about Val.

Alright, fair enough but I won?t give up my hopes on my domain names.

hebrew sounds neat and all but how can you monetize that? .. it probably doesn't get more than 1-2k type ins per day

[$5 submissions]

I'm sure the people with the REAL hookups won't post stuff because of one word -- SATURATION. If I were you, I'd invest in blue chip stocks, not as good as what's out there but at least in that game, ANYONE can play.

I have to get the current traffic on that, but for example let's use the figure you said of 2K per day. On a PPC page with one of the top aggregators you should be able to earn about $100 per day on that which works out to an annual income of $36,000 on your property.

That works out to a 29% annual ROI on income alone. When you factor in the annual domain value appreciation that ROI figure doubles.

If if you cut the numbers in half you're still at 15% and 15%.

[John Marco]

KRL, sounds about the same as traditional real estate when you factor in leverage I agree it's good..

In many ways its superior. And of course no tenant headaches.

Buy some ammo. That stuff is gonna be worth alot of money in the near future.

You could invest the money in second mortgages. The interest rates are usually 13%-20% (depending on the risk of the deal) but the beautiful thing is they are secured by a building, so if the borrower defaults you have a very good chance of owning the building (you can offer to buy out the first mortgage, then sell the building), PLUS you can charge high lenders fees, i.e. $2000-$5000 per deal

[Rhesus]

Hebrew.com for $125,000, for the type-in traffic? Man, what are you thinking?

[everestcash]

the more you have to invest, the lower your 'safe' percentage can be. 1.5% is really peanuts, I wouldn't even bother.

[John Marco]

70 type ins/day.. say 40% CTR, so 28 clicks per day, probably average $.20/click

that is $2k/yr

whose links should i put on 2k/day page and make $100/day please??

[aflex]

vanguard.com - grab a few funds/indexes that you feel comfortable with, they have risk levels associated with them and explain it to you very well.. vanguard is very easy to use and a reputable company.

[Downtime]

invest it in the stock market or throw it into an IRA

[Project-Shadow]

We're talking about type-in traffic, with a PPC page. Sedo offers this service. Not 2k TGP hits.

I understand completely what they are talking about and am asking whose links to put on a such page to bank $100 per 2k hits

Is your answer Sedo's links??

If you have $200K earning 1.5% interest somewhere, you need to get to a financial planner's office ASAP and stop posting for recommendations on GFY.

[KRL]

whose links should i put on 2k/day page and make $100/day please??

Fabulous.com, DomainSponsor.com, and similar PPC aggregators.

You should be able to avg about 3 to 8 cents per visitor.

real estate is only risky if you dont know what u are doing, educate yourself and then find a mentor to help you.

Sorry, but right now, unless you are doing long term investing, real estate is very risky.

Depends on where you live. In my area, it's a slow but very steady incline. In addition, vacation rentals here are making big bucks

[Sarah - GTS]

Do you have a good resource site that has info on this?

Your best resource is to talk directly to a mortgage broker in your area.

If you are in Canada I recommend Ian Matthews,

Im sure an investment adviser would tell you to diversify.

An interesting place to consider would be Prosper.com borrowers. People post what they would use the money for, their credit risk info is shown, and you can bid on how much you lend and at what percentage.

Real Estate in denmark is a rocksteady investment
