Description:

IdioEmail.com is a free webmail service that offers quality free e-mail accounts to users worldwide. IdioEmail.com receives roughly 7000 visitors monthly, 92,000 page impressions monthly, and 40+ new sign ups daily. Since the inception of the website, traffic has been continuing to grow and so has the generated revenue (see below for revenue details). IdioEmail.com runs on the premium HiveMail webmail software suite (which is alone worth over a hundred dollars) and is fully automated. New users can sign up and get started using their free webmail accounts without any administrative approval or intervention. The administrative backend to IdioEmail also makes identifying and removing spammers and abusers very simple. The system is also skinnable and will allow future owners to change the appearence of IdioEmail. IdioEmail users are also able to take advantage of advanced features such as storing contacts in an address book and keeping appointment dates stored in their calendar.

Why I Am Selling:
I currently manage three small online businesses and a multitude of other smaller websites. As a result, I do not feel that I can ideally develop/manage IdioEmail.com with it's consistently growing traffic.

On a sidenote, I am presently travelling abroad and I have learned that travelling always costs more than you expect ;-)

Bid With Confidence:
I have a full 100% trusted SitePoint rating, I have verified my telephone number with SitePoint, I have verified my ownership of this website, and I have conducted SitePoint auctions for years. See the left bar on your screen for details.

Post-Sale Benefits:
I always ensure that the buyers of my websites are satisfied with what they receive. As such, after the website has been sold, I plan to fully assist with the transfer process (i.e. helping the new owner become familiarized with the website, help the owner transfer the website to a new server, et cetera). I also plan to give a small website promotion guide written specifically for this website. This guide will ensure that the new website owner will be able to keep growing traffic levels during the transfer of owernship process.

This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to grow this site, monetize it further and turn a healthy profit. With current revenue standings, you should have your money made back within months.

As with all of my low BIN site auctions, this site will go FAST. Please contact me ASAP if you have any questions or wish to take the Buy-It-Now price. I am looking for a capable buyer and a smooth transaction. I reserve the right to opt for a lower bid if I feel the bidder will take better care of the website in the future.

Please feel free to send me any serious Buy It Now offers. I often accept discounted early BIN offers made by reputable bidders.

Revenue Details:

Currently IdioEmail.com is generating funds from ads sold through UbiquityAds.com. Over the past 30 days I have sold $25 worth of advertisements on IdioEmail.com. Also, IdioEmail.com earns $16 a month displaying pop-unders via the AdOnNetwork. Lastly, the website earns $14 via Google AdSense (AdSense runs only when I do not have any other ads to display).

IdioEmail.com has also provided me with an invaluable source of text link cross-promotions for my other websites and has allowed me to build up traffic on new sites very quickly. The new owner of IdioEmail.com will easily be able to do the same.

    Hi Sonighost.com,

    This is not a custom piece of software, however certain aspects of it have been customized. Please see the auction listing above for details on the webmail software suite, thanks.

    are you able to tell me how many accounts are setup? and if possible roughly how many of those are regularly active? do you use any anti spam (i.e. captchas) on signup forms?

    Hi dakine,

    The sign up process at IdioEmail.com just include a customized CAPTCHA anti-bot field, so automated signups have been effectively blocked from our service. Currently there are roughly 1500 users signed up to our service. This number would be much higher (several thousands of accounts higher), however we only recently migrated to the HiveMail software and only those users who filled out our e-mail account transfer form were migrated into the new system. Regardless, the new webmail system has proven to be much more popular than our prior system and we have been receiving an increasing number of daily signups (40+ new accounts daily). Unfortunately I do not have a way of telling you how many users are active or what defines 'active', however our users do send/receive vast amounts of e-mail spread out over hundreds of accounts. Furthermore, the fact that we migrated only the very active accounts from our old system (i.e. the ones who filled out the migration request form) to our new system would naturally mean that our present webmail system contains an abnormally high number of active accounts for the number of total signups.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions, thank you!
