I have worked on Friend Project for over a year now with a few others to build the most complete and competitative social network owned by an individual, there is truely to much to list about the many features of this site, I recomend you make an account and play around with the site to see how indepth it really is =)

Revenue depends on how much I promote the site and which advertisers I use, it has potential to make much much more, on it's best day ever it has done up to 5,000$ through yahoo publisher network.

    Proof of traffic, earnings or anything?

    No offense, but your site isn't making $4000/month off of a few Adbrite ads.

    You're going to need to give a LOT more details if you want to come even remotely close to selling this for $50k.

    OK, $4k from YPN, but now using adbrite so I guess your YPN acct cancelled, right?
    In that case, I think you will need to keep it for some time and show the new revenue made from adbrite , I dont see much people here bidding on something not proved yet. Im sorry, just my opinion

    Hey thanks for the input from all of you so far, this is my first listing to sell something and I admit it's not the best post so tomorrow or the next day for sure I will put some work into this at my end to explain and show more of what I am offering, in the mean time the best way to see what a great site this is, I recommend anyone to join and check out as much as you can on the site.

    wouldnt it be easier to purchase a home if you just used the 4gs a month to pay your mortgage?

    obviously.

    how much does this house of yours cost? why now? why not save your 4gs a month for 12 months and then youll have 50gs. hell...ill give you a 50g loan if you pay me back 60gs from your site. that way you dont have to sell it.

    Excellent looking site. There are definitely a few familiar things from other social networking sites but some new features which adds a whole new feel to it.
    Though $50k is a bit high for me, I'll be bidding till it exceeds my budget, though as with everyone else, I'd need to see some proof of statistics first please.

    What is the deal with the server it is currently hosted on, can you please shine some light on that. Is it included, can we just take over the lease? What kind of resources is it using?

    What kind of marketing have you done?

    Look forward to your answers~

    Cheers

    Hi thanks for the reply and sorry I havent gotten anytime to really update this listing yet but I can answer your questions.

    It currently runs on 2 servers, I could transer the lease over or you could get your own. It has 1 webserver and 1 quadcorexeon server for mysql databases, it runs flawlessly, I have seen up to 500 users logged in without even a slowdown in page loads, there has been 0 downtime with them as well.

    As for promotion, the early stages of promotion were with myspace, hi5, facebook, potspace, allmyamigos, mycrib, and a few other social networks as well as many forum sites and paid advertising on some sites as well as the usual google adwords and stuff like that, the best method is word of mouth among the users and referral contest where I give the users a prize for recruiting the most new users. Users get credit for getting other members by getting Friedn Project Money, the currency used on the site for the store, lottery, and for sending among users.

    Any other questions I will be glad to answer.

    Do you have a reserve price? Or will you let the auction run to the end date or a BIN has been reached?

    I have registered on friendproject.com and have found many bugs on the website.
    Have you programmed the source code yourself and would you recode those bugs before selling?
    If I buy the your website would you provide support until I can manage it by myself?

    As I personally have tested the site, I would say it is definitely not worth 10k US$ !!

    P.S.: Your website does not have as many members as indicated!

    Why don´t you provide us with some traffic details of the website to prove your revenues?

    If you really want to sell it for your target price you need to give more informations!!!

    .... smells a little fishy!

    4000$/month revenue and more than 44k members !?

    ... LOL...

    I checked the website. Lots of fake members and poor traffic! Monthly revenue of 200 $ is more realistic.
