    I am curious about that too. If you can share with us how did you monetize your site?

    Very impressive! Was flipping the site for a large profit your goal when you first purchased the site for 3k? How did you accept that kind of payment? and if you don't mind, where did the buyer find out about the website? Were you making an attempt to sell it or did someone just contact you?

    Please tell us more!! :)

    Get it listed on the big sales sites, get in touch with the big names in the Domaining industry and work with them on a joint sales deal, start getting in touch with relevant end users ...

    ... but always remember a Domain is only worth what someone's willing to pay for it and what your willing to sell it for ;)

    That's a really fantastic success story, thanks for sharing! As others have asked, I'd also be interested to know how you went about arranging the sale of the site... did you use Flippa or some other website-auctioning service? And did you sell the site to an individual or to a business of some kind? What was the niche of the site?

    Congrats on your sale! That is quite the upswing on profit margin. Skeptics will always be just that. Personally, my mind works as why would you come back to let us know, if you werent being legit. So I trust in your words until there is reason not to. That is the way it should be. Just my opinion. You did mention you bought the domain (.net) for $3k, but turned around and bought a .com version of similar name. My only question in all of this is why not just buy the catchy .com domain and save your $3k? again, not doubting you, but think that is a fair question.

    Very inspiring!

    I think everyone here is curious about your model of success. Any details would be appreciated.

    P.S. are you swamped with PMs about investment opportunities? Room for one more?

    Sorry I didn't respond to your posts earlier about this but thanks for all the feedback and support. I plan on doing it again :). I would be willing to help you with your own sites and offer free advice but I'm still under a non-disclosure agreement for the next 5 months for this deal.

    If you have a website and want some tips just PM me the link and I'll check it out.

    That's amazing. I'd like to do something like that -- make over $100,000 selling a website.

    Alyssa, I think anyone can do it if you are determined. I've sold sites for $35k and $75k this and it's all the same process. As long as you have the patience to learn something new you can make money with websites a lot of different ways.
