I need a fully functioning website with good sounding memorable domain that is already ranked, good seo, receiving traffic and making money. Preferably the one on distress sale.

It must be fully functioning and making money. Let's chat 08146394189

No one will sell a high value, money-making website for that amount. Rather, build your brand from scratch. It is stressful, you are likely to struggle in between but should it succeed, it would be easier to take on some other businesses online and spread your tentacles.

Raveboy:
Assuming they do, is it safe to say Naijaloaded pay more than they earn monthly on hosting?

Maybe you can give an estimate about Naijaloaded or Nairaland page size then, redo the maths.

Bcus $350,000-$800,000 is a lot of money.

Permit me to say I take the attached image with a pinch of salt. For the most part, it is a marketing ploy to pull in direct advertisers.

Notice the amount of new visitors monthly vs the page views? A noob on SEO can no doubt tell that the stat is padded.

The site is a good site, no doubt but the stat is padded. Again, no Nigerian blog, forum or website hits 100 million unique page views monthly.

Rafeeki:
Did you mistakenly add one 0 when calculating the needed bandwidth? I think you may have.

No, I did not.

Raveboy:
$350,000 (*475) in naira is about 166M.
Or do you mean $35,000 = 16M
Or do you mean N350,000-N800,000

Shed more light.

Are you saying a website like Naijaloaded could be paying about 166M or 16M monthly on Hosting alone? Or let assume it’s more than since it’s between 350,000-800,000.

There are several factors to note here:

1. The page views calculated is 100 million/monthly. Naija loaded does not have this, I'm sure. No Nigerian website, blog or platform has this, not even Nairaland.

2. Average page size was estimated at 1 GB

Rafeeki:


Thanks for the response.


Let's assume the average page on the website is 1mb.
(JavaScript, images, fonts, Css etc).

Let's say thw website disk space is unknown.

About what range would the hosting cost?

Based on what you provided, the actual bandwidth needed is 9259.2592592593 Mbits/s or 3043750 GB per month. With redundancy factor of 2, the bandwidth needed is 18518.518518519 Mbits/s or 6087500 GB per month.


3043750 GB = 3043.75 TB/monthly
6087500 GB = 6087.5 TB/monthly

Typically, most Web hosting providers will charge about $150 for 1 TB cloud hosting. Multiply this by the figures above and you'll have:

3043750 GB = 3043.75 TB/monthly ($450,000/monthly)

6087500 GB = 6087.5 TB/monthly (about $900,000/monthly)

This is a rough calculation that has not factored discounts. However, an average cost should be nothing less than $350,000—$800,000 monthly.

The above is a cost estimate for 100 million monthly page views.

Well, it isn't necessarily about payment or the amount being paid. First, there is a need to understand the type of website. How is the volume of media contents like (videos and pictures), are these same contents hosted on the same website?

So there is a need to understand:

1. The said website's disk space
2. The average size of each page on the website

Then to arrive a possible cost or a wild guess, the hosting provider's rate must be taken into account since pricing vary from one Web hosting provider to another.

Generally, it is a bit difficult to guess without those factors.

When AdSense limit ads on a website, it is done for several reasons:

1. Your traffic source is suspicious or not established.
2. Your traffic quality is questionable
3. Your blog is a threat to advertisers and due diligence needs to carried out.
4. You do not have enough organic traffic.

When this happens, the first thing to do is to leave your ad units the way they are. It could take as much as a year or two for your ads to return. There is no definite thing to do to restore your ads. However, there are a couple of tricks which has been tried and proven to be effective.

Segom:

What do you mean by not a cloud host? Do you know what hosting a video is? Do you think it's your usual mp3 on blog?.. And what do you mean by Decent Host . I have never heard of such before

Please calm down. First, it isn't wise to host movies ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE because you will only make suing you easier for big movie production companies. Why? Because you are hosting an unauthorised material, which makes it illegal and by rights, you have conveniently infringed and will be sued for that purpose.

So what to do? Simple, host your movie files on file sharing platforms and link them to your website for downloads. Websites like tfpdl do this, as well as fmvovies which has been sued repeatedly by 20th Century, Sony, Universal, etc. Today, most of these movie websites have a disclaimer which is THEY DO NOT HOST FILES DIRECTLY ON THEIR WEBSITES.

If the above is eliminated, you automatically do not need cloud hosting which is intended for large files. So, yes, the concept of hosting a video is not alien to any savvy person.

Why Nigerians get away with music websites is because Nigerian or African musicians do not take copyright to heart. If you are to look for American songs the way Nigerian songs litter the Internet, you will probably get to the dark Web section to do this.

Although I understand you are being sarcastic but A DECENT HOSTING here means one that can handle up to 30—40k daily traffic (at the least) and a few pictures which will be culled via imdb API.

Segom:

Your 90k budget cant get you a proper cloud hosting to host your files and don't even think of using a shared host. So it's not about downloading and uploading. Video file sharing sites are beyond blogs. You need a good investment for that. Contact me to have the job done if you are really ready for it

It is not advisable to host a movie directly on websites. A decent hosting, yes, but not a cloud hosting.

Hi Webmasters,
I have this idea and am trying to wrap my head on how to earn from it massively.


(1)How do I go about getting a blog where movie lovers can download Bollywood movies, Hollywood movies and Asian movies from

You can actually do this. However, you might need to rely on big pirate movie websites to do this.

(2) How do I monetize it so I can make money from it?

Monetizing movie websites are easy. There are several ad networks specifically for movie download websites and they tend to do well.

(3)Am not looking at confining it to movies alone. Am looking at having the following sections on the site/blog==>

JOBS||MOVIES||BETTING TIPS||BUSINESS section where readers can read on making money tips and also have the option to enroll for making money courses and business skills.

Sadly, you might need subdomains to have this other areas, which isn't the problem but you the implication is that you will need more hosting capacity to tolerate other niches you would like to run alongside.

I would advise not to use cloud hosting and not host any video directly on your website. Using a decent hosting package should do. The reason for this is because you will most likely get content removal notices from big movie companies but leaving a disclaimer that you do not host files will be your best bet. So, yes, there are ways around this.

Guys, please guide me on how to go about it. My budget is below N90k

Unfortunately, your budget won't be enough to run a decent website. You can get in touch and have more explained. The budget won't really cut it if you intend to run a super decent movie website.

Kindly get in touch to walk you through on setting up and even monetizing to your advantage.

Guys who has used Adleep, I heard they pay almost like Adsense.
Is it legit? Has anybody cashed out from them?

If they did, they would be much talked about. Adleep is a Nigerian ad network and they have a fixed price set for eCPM which is really uncool.

naijaeverinc:


I got more den 200 clicks but zero response and the link leads to my WhatsApp chat. Atleast client would have dropped a message for samples but 200 clicks and zero messages lolz how possible.

Most times, social media advertising do not yield, not because what you are marketing isn't innovative enough but because potential clients might have questions and getting in touch directly as a result of the ad they saw might be a huge step to them. Clients love being indulged. They love being considered special even during marketing. And just because your ad is in everyone's face doesn't necessarily mean you will get the anticipated results.

Last year, someone ran a N115k Adword campaign and spent over N35k on Facebook ads. Luckily, he pulled in one customer despite huge engagements with the ads. Digital marketing isn't as easy as it seems. Product announcements/awareness are what the likes of Nairaland or any display advertising platform is best suited for. PPA engagements are best suited for must-buy campaigns.

Nairaland actually delivered; it got you awareness but not the expected result. It doesn't mean it failed. It only means the adopted strategy was wrong.

Hello, top of the hour to you.

As much as we would love to be a part of your success story, we are not based in Festac. Although we are based in Lagos and would love to work with you remotely, if you do not consider this as a stumbling block.

We assure that you will get the best of value and won't hands off your project until you say you are satisfied.

SOLD!

See him mouth like thief own. Abi him be thief sef.

I have been contemplating on contracting out my website development job to a guy I saw his advert here on Nairaland. His charges are relatively cheap and paying him outrightly is not my fear but I'm afraid he too might just abscond with my money and that's why I've been stalling on the deal since.

If you have ever paid someone you met on Nairaland to help you design a website and you got what you paid for, plz help a skeptic. Times are hard now to lose my hard-earned money.

Hello, good evening. We have handled several jobs remotely and sometimes set up a meeting should you have fears. If you are within Lagos, this can be arranged. We could also share details of clients we've worked with/for and their websites to allay your fears.

More importantly, we only hands off your job until you say you are satisfied.

Willing to share these contacts on WhatsApp if you are willing and ready.

BusinessCity:



I've given up. The loses were too much for me to bear

Sincere apologies for your loss. No one deserves to have their business suffer just because they contract a Web developer to project their ideas.

Realshay:


I as well messaged the first guy.
But my mind keeps telling me not to work with him.

Hello, good morning.

Have you found a competent Web designer/developer for your project? If no, please permit us to work with you and give you the peace of mind that comes with working with a capable organisation.

bigmodo:
I have noticed that most webmasters here are not reliable. I gave like two different people work to build site for me, the first dude said he will conclude the site in a week and it is going to months now without any end in site. The worst problem is that his number is not going and he is not replying my WhatsApp message.

The second person promised he will deliver in a week but it is running into weeks now.

It is always I will finish this week, I will finish next week. The worst part is that they were quick to collect part payment and were firing for me to collect remaining payment for one reason or the other and I foolishly gave.

I am gonna publish the first guy details cuz he has promised me many times and failed. But for the second guy, if he doesn't deliver my site this week, I will publish his details here.

[img][/img]

Hello, sometimes it can't be helped and it is almost impossible to avoid the wrong persons. Everyone is a Web designer cum developer these days which makes it a high risk thing to trust just about anyone.

Communication remains an issue for some as they don't have an idea of what it is to be done. On several occasions, we have mopped several projects here; projects that were badly done. It is so bad that some walk away with clients core details even after full payment.

It can be painful having your project at the mercy of someone who poses great headache to you or your brand. We communicate almost 24/7 and wouldn't leave you hanging.

We are registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission and have ready witnesses who can testify of what we do and how we do what we do.

I am hoping your new person wouldn't disappoint you... Just in case, we are available and will gladly walk with you till your project is ready.
