I'm Justin Cooke - partner at Empire Flippers and host of The Empire Podcast. I saw some posts that were referencing us and thought I'd join to see what was going on over here. After having read through about a dozen posts, this definitely seems like a good place to be!
I wanted to share a tactic we used last year I thought you might find helpful.
We were, at one point, creating tons of small niche sites each week/month. Some would do well and others would die out. If they weren't making enough to be worth renewing the domain, we'd just let them go.
We decided to change our tactics and, instead, we saved that content and started dumping it on another domain we'd purchased. Keep in mind this content wasn't even niche specific and covered anything from hair dryers to video games - we just thought it might be better than losing that site completely.
Over time, we ended up with hundreds of articles on the site and the pageviews continued to increase. We got it up to around 20K pagviews per month.
We did nothing but montize via AdSense and, by the time we were ready to sell it, the site was making around $1K per month net profit.
We ended up selling the site through our marketplace for just over $20K.
If you've got some of the niche sites that turned out to be duds, don't let the content go to waste! Instead, copy all of that content over to one main site and watch it build up. Over time, you'll have something of value out of all the "losers".
