TWO-SIDED MARKETPLACE REVENUE ENGINE
How Does Premium Domain Name Sales Revenue Build in the Model?
Revenue comes from buyer orders monetized through percentage and fixed commissions, plus seller and buyer subscriptions and seller extras; GMV remains a transaction-volume measure, not revenue.
01
Acquire Both Sides
Convert separate seller and buyer acquisition budgets into new users using their respective CACs.
02
Build Cohorts
Allocate sellers and buyers by tier, retain cohorts for tier lifetimes, and include starting users.
03
Forecast Orders
Combine first orders from new buyers with repeat orders from eligible active-buyer cohorts.
04
Calculate Monetization
Convert orders to GMV with tier AOV, then apply take rates, fixed commissions, subscriptions, and seller extras.
05
Total Revenue
Sum monthly commission revenue, seller subscriptions, buyer subscriptions, and enabled seller extras; exclude GMV from revenue.
Which Inputs Drive Premium Domain Name Sales Revenue?
The Revenue Assumptions sheet links separate seller and buyer acquisition, tier lifetimes, repeat orders, AOV, commissions, subscriptions, extras, and seasonality to marketplace revenue.

PRODUCT FIT
Is the Premium Domain Name Sales Financial Model Right for You?
The ready-made model fits a two-sided domain marketplace driven by seller and buyer acquisition, buyer orders, commissions, subscriptions, and seller extras; materially different logic may require custom modeling.
READY-MADE MODEL
A Good Fit
You operate a two-sided marketplace that acquires sellers and buyers separately.
Buyer orders drive GMV, with commission revenue based on take rates and fixed per-order fees.
Seller and buyer subscriptions, plus seller extras, supplement transaction commissions.
Tier mixes, lifetimes, repeat-order frequency, AOV, acquisition seasonality, and starting users match your planning logic.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Revenue depends on inventory resale margins rather than marketplace commissions and account services.
You need auction, escrow, financing, or other transaction mechanics that materially change revenue logic.
Seller or buyer cohorts require retention, conversion, or order behavior beyond the supplied tier structure.
Your operating schedules or reporting need structures materially different from the current workbook.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.

Clear Scenarios, Faster Decisions
Megan Carter, TX
The low, base, and high cases were easy to compare, so I stopped wasting time tweaking formulas by hand. I built a cleaner forecast in under an hour and could explain the upside and downside without confusion.
Everything In One File

My statements and charts were spread across too many files, and this pulled everything into one place. I saved a full afternoon and had a cleaner packet ready to share with my team.
Investor Format Was Obvious
