Domain 2: TheCrypto*****.com

Niche: cryptocurrency

AHREFS:

Backlinks: Amazing backlinks Vice, CoinGecko, CoinCentral, Substack, and 60 other referring domains.

Listed Price: $1,770

What Would I Do?

I covered another cryptocurrency domain in Week 2. The same idea applies to this one.

I would create the following with such a domain:

• Review of each altcoin (hands-on, use-case research, etc)

• Review of each technology that hits this space

• Review of consumer-facing products for commissions

• After traffic pours in, a newsletter hosted on Substack

Interesting side note: In Week 2, I mentioned that I won a deal for a DR51 (links from Wikipedia, Forbes) crypto blog with excellent content (170 articles) written by the founders. I got it for $4,500 but the seller’s backed out last minute.

The sellers relisted the site on Flippa. Check it out below:

The site is claiming to earn $8,047/mo by selling crypto and forex signals, courses, and a newsletter.

Well done by the founders! They realized they were selling it to me for pennies at $4,500. They put in the effort and now will have sizeable exist.

Domain 3: iTrack******.com

Niche: productivity

Backlinks: Amazing backlinks from DesignModo, FitsSmallBusiness, CNBlogs, SitePoint, and 109 other referring domains.

Here is what the site used to look like in the past:

It was a one-page landing page.

Listed Price: $960

What Would I Do?

I am a big fan of increasing productivity. I’ve tried every tool and app imaginable. Currently, I am using Tracking Time to ensure I keep track of the hours I spend on each project.

There has been a big push for years now to increase productivity. A blog on these topics would do very well. Here is what I would do:

• Blog about increasing productivity

• Write buying guides, and reviews of products, apps, services, etc.

• Start a newsletter providing tips & tricks on productivity increases

• Digital assets can be made as well like apps, tools, etc.

There are many newsletters in this space. For example, check out One Productivity on Substack.

With this niche, you are solving a strong pain point with people; how do I get more out of my 8-hour working day? Your newsletter can cover such tips and tricks.

This is an excellent domain to build a quality authority business on.
