How Much Am I Worth?
 

I am trying to figure out what my business is worth. This includes My real name Melissa Harrington which if you web search comes up thousands of times from my public nudity stuff last year. I also own my domians which are: melissalincoln.com, lincolnmelissa.com, hotmelissa.com, hotmelissa.net, melissamidwest.com, melissamidwest.net, midwestmelissa.com, midwestmelissa.net just to name a few. I would say I get about 300,000 hits a day combined from them. Also all my picture's and video's basicly my company as a whole. I am building a new home and the bank wants to know what my business is worth and I have no idea what to tell them. Any info would help a ton! Thanks, Melissa :helpme

priceless :winkwink:

!
 

Thank you very much that was really nice of you to say but I need a dollar amount lol! Melissa

and -1000000 for biggy :thumbsup


j/k

No way to tell without knowing how much you make with your paysite..

I hate to say it, but they may not see the domain names as a valueable item. They sometimes do not realize what something like that can be worth. So be careful putting together the numbers that you need.

seriously, take the monthly income and multiply by at least 10

Take your monthly income and multiply by 3, that's roughly what you'd get for your holdings in the open market.

Saw you at Internext btw, you're one hot baby!

Sup girl? 300k type ins a day? thats pretty good :)
Basically take what you make every year and multiply it by 3 years.. should be a good enough number :)

Ask your accountant. Don't have one? Get one.

For that I would say income for each tax year => and base it off that

6 months net income. Thjey bank really does not care as they loan on income not assets. So this is more then conservative and realistic.

My site's generates about $60k a month but that is before affilates are paid and ccbill is paid. I also make another $50k a year doing appearances/parties and such. Then I do a few magazines a year and make about another $50k! I hope to make more this year with my new DVD project that I just started but like I said any idea at all would really help! Melissa

wow.. we have from 3 months to 3 years.. :)

Open up in nasdaq See what type of IPO listing you can get Price per share..

If there was some type of product you could base it on lol.

I'll sell you everything I have for 1.5 years income today. Right this minute.

The thing with single girl sites like yours it is 60K/month wont last for long... Next year it will be less.. The next even less.. and so on..

multiply what your gross income is for the year by 1.6 (low) and times 3 (high) for adult internet.

3 years holds up in brick and mortar businesses better than it does on the web I think.. I've never heard of anyone getting more than 3 months. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I haven't heard about it if it has.

Maybe for a bank valuation you could make that number stand.

just throw them a price.. tell them what its worth to you

What do you go? :winkwink:

It really depends on what you are selling on what it is worth. Some stuff there is no way its worth 3 years. My program I wouldnt even consider selling for 3 years Net.

But she is trying to finance a house so she wants it to look as good as possible so I say go for 3 years :)


Well, what you got to sell? :)

3 months is ridiculous though.. I dont know anybody that would sell their business for 3 months worth of profits...

do a "no doc" if you have good credit

To a bank, you are worth nothing do to your line of your work.

Anyone of the guys in this thread who say otherwise are blowing smoke up your ass.

I am sure you are right but I have very good credit and some money in the bank. They are going to approve me it's more of an issue of what rate I will qualify for. Not exactly sure why but are wanting to know how much my business is worth and how I came up with the number.

The best answer I can give is 2.5 times yearly earnings is probably what you would get if you gave someone enough content updates to run the sites until they died.

If it were more consolodated that would be better too me thinks.

Wanna kick me some traffic for being a helluva guy ;) ?

on 1.5 yrs darkcavern.com money alone I could retire if I didn't have to pay my overhead. It may not be Silvercash money but I could get by on the interest without touching the principle. Add in Fetishbucks.com etc and you're talking about one whopping shitload of money.

I wouldn't sign a non-compete though ;)

Oh really? How many single sites have you run? :1orglaugh

A good single site grows each year. Her's is one that can and will.

Keep the way you are going Mel and you will double your income next year. I applaud you. You turned a bad into a good and profited by it. Never seen it done before and I doubt I ever see it again.

Good for you!

:thumbsup

Thanks Mike I like your 3 years the best! If that's the case I need to be building a lot bigger house lol. So how are you doing tonight? Melissa

$275,000 ish AFTER taxes per year... hmm. If anyone knows any super hotties that want to come to the USA I am willing to trade a green card for solo girl material. :pimp


EDIT: I didnt know mags paid well.

Yes you are right Biggy has really helped take me to a new level and he is the man lol! Melissa

A steak dinner and cab fare.

Yea I don't do too bad but I don't leave the house unless it's work related (sad). I work about 90 hours a week between content, promotions, e-mails, message board and cam shows. It is not an easy job at all and many times I have thought about going with a big company. Make sure the girl is ready to work! Melissa

yes a few magazines a year for $50k. sorry hun - magazines pay very modestly, in fact unless u make the cover of a very small handful of magazines you get paid $500-750 day like every other model, even a Penthouse Pet of the Month only made $5000, and that's dropped.

I don't know but it would be worth about 3X if you had taken me up on my offer.

well if your making 50k a month..who needs a bank..i think you could buy nebraska for about 500k..

lol.. yeah.. tawne stone make more sales each month now than it made 2 years ago ..? Every sites that have been over saturated or reached their peak can only fall.. Now is her site over saturated or reached it peak.. Dont know..

yes from what i am seeing every program under the sun has about 20 single girl sites coming out..i think you will be experiencing reality site crazy shortly..so start saving..

Sales grow for Jeff, as he shaves more.

... I think she loves to add an extra ZERO to her number, if she'd make all that money she wouldn't need a home loan, she'll simply pay cash, just like I did.

... besides, I'd hit it !!!

:mad:

Now its public domain. DISCUSS!!


Its ok you both missed out. You can still get a free laptop :winkwink:

fantastic rack

I am sorry but you must have some bad info. I made over $30,000 from Gallery Magazine for winning the Girl Next Door of the Year alone. I also do ads for magazines and clothing companies. I would say $50k was just what I am claiming because I have to for tax reasons. Melissa

i will send you an ipod for your site

Melissa, listen to LAMike. He knows what he is talking about.

I would pay cash but I invest a lot of my money for retirement. I understand my looks will run out before too long. I am putting about half down on the house. All I wanted to know was how much my business was worth because the bank asked and I had no idea what to tell them. I didn't need a lesson in how much you think magazines pay or don't pay but thanks. The only reason I put that in the post was because people said that was the only way for them to tell me. Melissa

ok, that's different - u won a prize from Gallery. that's a once in a career thing, like being Pet of the Year or Playmate of the Year. nice tho! congrats.

working on getting some girls in Gallery now for a new feature.

3 times your annual gross.

Sorry I am not this grumpy most nights just have a lot going on! Melissa

no offense taken Melissa, i was being a bit of an ass myself : )

if you're doing your site on your own i have nuthin but respect for you and that you know the shelf life of being a hot girl isn't all that long is pretty cool too - not many girls realize it.
