Enjoyed your video with Michael at domain Sherpa, and also I have seen your videos on you tube. I appreciate your information.

I have a relatively small portfolio of several hundred domain names.

All are parked, but I am having a number of 5 page web sites being built. Each will have content; photos; basic SEO and a few quality back links, to get the sites rolling.

The price I feel is fair of a few hundred dollars to create each, however, the goal is to have all the names developed. This is the way to go in achieving any potential revenue, in time.

That said, although there would be a quantity discount for “X” number of web sites being built at a time, this will still take me awhile , to have say 50 names developed, per year, due to my slim budget.

At this pace, even with potential revenues from developed web sites (being developed now), it could easily surpass, 10 years, to develop all the names. I am not feeling the love for that scenario!

— That all said, for lower cost purposes and to achieve a much higher “build out” of the domain names I have, would it be realistic to develop, and rely on the growth of 1 page web sites that will have similar basic SEO, content; photos and quality back links applied, much like with what I am doing now with the larger 5 page web sites?

I feel that although the 1 page web sites may not achieve a higher page ranking, as quickly, as the multi page web site, they are at least created (alive, and not dead — like a Parked Page), and no matter how slowly they are growing, a modest revenue could be realized.

This is somewhat analogous to Frank Schilling’s parked 1 pagers, but unlike those 1 pagers — these 1 page web sites will have a full page of content, some photos, basic SEO, and a few quality back links — a distinct difference.

— Do you think this slim budget approach in creating a lot more web sites, 1 pagers as described above — in a much shorter period of time, is the best way, as far as overall effectiveness, in growth and potential revenues are concerned?

I look forward to your response, if time allows. Thank you very much for reading my email.

Awesome bio and personal history!

But, man, you gotta stop watching CNBC (blech!) if you’re serious about investing in companies. The true investing insights to be gleaned are in the cold, hard analysis of companies’ financial results (look into Discounted Cash Flow models based on Free Cash Flow to Equity, which you’ll have to calculate) vis-a-vis the market price for their securities, not on the business entertainment channels (after all, entertainment is all they are about — they entertain you with “news” about the markets so you’ll sit around watching the commercial spots on which they make their money). Turn off the TV and read anything and everything Warren Buffett has ever written (not what has been written about him) and learn how to value companies of all shapes and sizes by reading books by Aswath Damodaran (his blog: http://aswathdamodaran.blogspot.com/), who is super smart and a great teacher of all things finance. Going through the CFA Program is a great educational experience as well, especially if you are a masochist (I guess like me) and you are really serious about investing and managing a portfolio of other people’s money some day.

My $0.02, the purchasing power of which could start to fall rapidly if the U.S. government doesn’t get its financial house in order within the next few years!
