Keeping American Workers Paid and Employed Act
The Keeping American Workers Paid and Employed Act would provide $377 billion to help prevent workers from losing
their jobs and small businesses from going under due to economic losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Paycheck Protection Program would provide 8 weeks of cash-flow assistance through 100 percent federally guaranteed
loans to small employers who maintain their payroll during this emergency.
If the employer maintains its payroll, then the portion of the loan used for covered payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations, rent, and utilities would be forgiven,which would help workers to remain employed and affected small businesses and our economy to recover quickly from this crisis.
This proposal would be retroactive to February 15, 2020 to help bring workers who may have already been laid
off back onto payrolls.

-Paycheck Protection Program
The bill would provide $350 billion to support loans through a new Paycheck Protection Program for:
Small employers with 500 employees or fewer, as well as those that meet the current Small Business Administration
(SBA) size standards;
Self-employed individuals and “gig economy” individuals; and
Certain nonprofits, including 501(c)(3) organizations and 501(c)(19) veteran organizations, and tribal business
concerns with under 500 employees.
The size of the loans would equal 250 percent of an employer’s average monthly payroll. The maximum loan amount
would be $10 million.
Covered payroll costs include salary, wages, and payment of cash tips (up to an annual rate of pay of $100,000);
employee group health care benefits, including insurance premiums; retirement contributions; and covered leave.

The cost of participation in the program would be reduced for both borrowers and lenders by providing fee waivers, an
automatic deferment of payments for one year, and no prepayment penalties.
Loans would be available immediately through more than 800 existing SBA-certified lenders, including banks, credit
unions, and other financial institutions, and SBA would be required to streamline the process to bring additional
lenders into the program.
The Treasury Secretary would be authorized to expedite the addition of new lenders and make further enhancements
to quickly expedite delivery of capital to small employers.
The maximum loan amount for SBA Express loans would be increased from $350,000 to $1 million. Express loans
provide borrowers with revolving lines of credit for working capital purposes.

Emergency EIDL Grants
The bill would expand eligibility for entities suffering economic harm due to COVID-19 to access SBA’s Economic Injury
Disaster Loans (EIDL), while also giving SBA more flexibility to process and disperse small dollar loans.
The bill would allow businesses that apply for an EIDL expedited access to capital through an Emergency Grant—an
advance of $10,000 within three days to maintain payroll, provide paid sick leave, and to service other debt obligations.
$10 billion would be provided to support the expanded EIDL program.

And... is anyone interested in the domain: disasterloanshelp.com?

Or is everyone just going to watch the entire country get free money and not find a way to gather data/monetize/leverage themselves into the next bull market?

Make me an offer.

You have not figured it out yet..... No advisor or broker is going to make any real money getting involved here. You are wasting your time and energy. It might help the small business owner that needs less than $100K over several months to float payroll. If you think for a minute you are going to make or be allowed to make large commissions here.....you are dreaming.

I don't think it would be a play that some MCA broker would want to do (no huge, next-day double-digit commissions)... but in the short term, maybe it could serve someone who thinks different.

In either case, it's up for sale. I'd like to sell it. Hello opportunists!

Steve-O I don't think this domain has any value to it as it stands. There may be an opportunity there if there were a pre-existing site to it with some content. So the short term opportunity isn't really there because you still need to get traffic to it which would involve ppc advertising. This same strategy could be used with any newly purchased url and have the same impact in the short term. Domain Names alone do not carry the same weight as they used to like in the dotcom boom in the late 90's.

Maybe... I guess that's the whole thing with buying and selling, right? Value is really perceived.

Jason - you are so incorrect - jump over to a Domain Broker - example www.sedo.com there are others, it owned by United Internet AG which I've been part of since 2013 or so.

The Value of Virtual Real Estate is in they eyes of the end user . There are methods of creating & generating traffic without playing the PPC Game. Most business owners are not equipped financial to swim in that pond.

The time is go back to old school methods that we used to generate traffic prior to Google, Bing, Yahoo etc.
Just takes time - patience - and work. Like a turtle crossing the road chasing water - not fast but successful.

Dave,

A Brand New, Unused URL with no existing website or content has the value of its cost present moment. Those Expired URLs or people selling on Sedo or other domain auctions that actually have value are because they generate traffic which is what people are buying. Even if the site no longer operates it still may have some value from its previous traffic and could possibly be used for other purposes or a private blog network. We are talking about a brand new url and the one in question here would probably end up making someone lose money because it could ultimately get shut down. We are not comparing an existing or older url. We are looking at a URL that is brand new. Which anyone that purchases it shouldn't spend more than $12.00 on it.

This is correct.

I'd go further: a brand new website, even if you added a ton of content quickly is going to sit in Google's sandbox for 3-6 months. So there's a process with adding value: content and backlinks.

So from an SEO perspective, the keyworks used in a URL can have value, but it takes months to get there. I'm not mad at Steve O's proposition, but the issue is: if you have to wait for up to 6 months for the url to start ranking, and the disaster loan program is no longer relevant, is it really worth it?

Except for the fact that particluar domain is owned by the seller - You cannot purchase that domain

Example, one of the Virtual Real Estate Domains I own is www.usacannabis.attorney

It has no web site - zero traffic - it is difficult to promote any Cannabis Product / Service.

The value is for an Attorney focusing on Cannabis clients is that he/she will generate additional or new clients
and their billing hours will substantial increase.

I have a specific fee that I want for the domain - had a few offers, but, no one has met my sales price.
Just like real estate, no one else has this property.
