Wpdesigner.com - PR7 WordPress Themes Blog
One of the authority blogs about WordPress themes
- Listed: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 04:33:07 GMT
Description:
A site like this doesn't come around often, please take the time to read the following.
Why Sell? This is probably the most important question when it comes to selling an authority blog like this one so I'll answer this first. I'm selling because of personal reasons. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for me to sell at all.
Mainly, I'm a one-man team and will be traveling abroad for the rest of the year (very long vacation), which means I won't have time to keep on growing this site. This auction has nothing to do with performance. My blog is still growing and it's no where near plateauing.
Background: Wpdesigner.com is a 21-month old blog about WordPress. Mainly, it focuses on WordPress themes and tutorials. With 49 original free WordPress themes, 48 tutorials, and 4 paid themes in its themes club, Wpdesigner.com is one of the top blogs within its niche.
Content-wise, it has been dugged (Digg's front page) and linked to by distinguished sites like SmashingMagazine, WeblogToolsCollection, Blogherald, PhotoMatt, BloggingPro, and Problogger.net. It also ranks well on Google for WordPress related terms search terms.
Design-wise, it was featured on CSS galleries like CSSMania, CSSRemix, and BestWebGallery. From content and design to subscribers and traffic, this is a very solid blog.
Other Content Areas:
Wpdesigner.com main focus is the blog, but it also has a support message board and a clients management system (using WHMCS) to manage themes club customers and hosting clients (just one hosting client).
Facts:
- 2900 RSS subscribers (best month yet)
- Over 400 paying themes club members
- Over 1300 club members overall
- PR7 front page with multiple PR6 sub-pages
- #1 on WpThemesGallery's Top 40 WordPress Blogs
- #1 on Google for "wordpress theme tutorial"
- #3 on Technorati
- 2 of Wpdesigner.com's free themes are being used on WordPress.com, which is a community of hundreds of thousands of bloggers.
What You'll Get:
- Domain name
- All original WordPress themes and articles (guest blog articles may stay on the site, but you don't have permission to resell it)
- Current design
- Owned vBulletin license (if needed)
- Monthly WHMCS license (if needed and transferable)
Value:
DnScoop estimated value for this site is $5,526,840 hahaha. Of course, that would be crazy. On the flip side, please don't low-ball me with the typical REVENUE x 12 MONTHS formula. That would be an insult to how much time and effort I've put into this site.
Ideal Buyer:
You should be familiar with WordPress. And preferably, you should have your own team of WordPress developers because that's what it's going to take to maximize this site's potential. This goes back to one of my reasons for selling. I'm a one-man team, which doesn't do this site justice.
Non-compete Deal:
Yes, I'm willing to sign a contract so you can rest assured that I will not develop another site to immediately compete with the one I'm trying to sell.
Future of Wpdesigner.com
If you need me, I can serve as an outside consultant to help you grow the site in the right direction. I had several plans for Wpdesigner.com in 2008--one of which is the Wpdesigner Themes Club (started on January 24, 2008)--but quickly realized I will not have time for them.
Keeping Me Around:
Along with serving as a consultant, I can stick around to blog from time to time. This is important if you don't want to lose loyal subscribers.
