RealOpps.com - Domain Name
RealOpps stands for Real Opportunities which indeed it is. Acquiring a premium domain name is like acquiring a real opportunity to make money online. Short, highly relevant, easily remembered and brandable domain, would be worth in 4-figures for the name alone. It may be possible to build another similar site, a domain name like this doesn't becomes available everyday.
How much money can the site make?
To make the site popular, listings are free for the time being. Later it is intended to charge for each listing. Let's say you decide to charge $10 per listing for 180 days. 100 listings per month (which is no figure at all considering the size of the market) will bring in $1,000 in a month; 500 listings will bring in $5,000; so on so forth. Depending on the exigencies of the market, you can increase or decrease the fee as needed. You can have featured listings and charge a higher price. This is set-up via Site Admin and can be changed anytime it is needed. While you can do your own permutations and combinations - pessimistic, realistic and optimistic - note that you can make this money with no overheads at all. All you pay is for hosting and renewal of the domain name.
To make money you must market your service. Initially you may need some effort to popularize the site. Once it starts getting popular, viral marketing will set in. The site, from there onwards, will market itself on its own. Augmenting the site with articles, tips, guides, tutorials, etc will greatly increase its utility and value to visitors. They will simply never stop coming in!
What are the site's special features?
Built using PHP scripting with a powerful MySQL database, the site is totally manageable from a browser based Admin Panel. You can manage users, listings, configuration of the site - all from your web browser.
