Social Network/Dating Site With Niche

Ning Network, PR2, $1 No Reserve

  • URL: http://www.shagablogger.com/
  • Established: Sat, 03 May 2008 14:00:00 GMT
  • Page views/month: 150
  • Monthly Revenue (USD): 0

Description:

Hi everybody, I'm looking to sell this network, to the highest bidder.

Introduction

This is a dating network site for single bloggers. Towards the beginning of this summer it was launched, and the aim was to turn it into a popular singledom place for bloggers to hang out. However, a number of projects did pop up (and principal early members ended up getting hooked up, myself included!), and I've found I've not have time to keep this running, so I'm passing it on for a discounted price.

Site has previously been featured on popular blogs such as John Chow dot com.

Earning Potential

There's no denying that it could earn, spanning two very popular niches (Blogging and dating). If you build up a community then either paid advertising or indeed affiliate products could be profitable.

I truly believe this just needs pushing, it's well indexed in Google for "blogger dating", "date a blogger" etc. phrases.

What You Get For Winning The Auction

You will get

  • The Domain - Which is PR2.
  • All Site Materials - Logo designs/banners/site designs etc.
  • Access To My Ning Account - The account is associated with the  site, so you can have access to it.
  • My assistance - I will happily stay on for a few weeks to a month adding posts, being a livewire, doing a few posts pushing it.

Site Unverified: Due to it being on the Ning Network at the moment, there's no FTP access, so I cannot upload a file.

Revenue Details:

No Revenue. Listing on the Ning network costs $4.95/month, but you can transfer it off onto your own servers, I will assist with this.

Traffic Details:

Majority of traffic comes from referral links from forums/websites that I am active on.

    Hi Alfredn,

    Due to the site being on the Ning Network http://www.ning.com/, I am unable to upload any file (the domain points at the moment to Ning's server) - hence the low selling price.

    I can assure you that I do own this site, and am thinking of ways of verifying it, but I can't at the moment :(

    Hi,

    DO you have access to the content or you are just selling domain name ?

    I have access to both the content & the domain name. I will transfer the Ning Account to yourself (after removing my credit card details from my account)

    Something I want to add - please read.

    A lot of people have asked me about ads, at the moment, as it's hosted on the Ning Network, the ads are Ning's ads. To remove them costs $19.95/month.

    Sorry, this was an oversight on my part.

    You can ask for the source code and host it elsewhere though, will help you obtaining an dinstalling the software on your server :)

    Hi Rhys, Well as you are aware this could be the top bid, not sure, however comma...I noticed the in the join the date only goes up to 2008.
    Also on the verfiy how are you going, never worked with niche I will be hosting it on another server if not just take the name,
    How many members do you have and how active is it, seems quiet as looked at it this evening. I will get my mate to take it from you and sort out the changeover to his recommended hosting.

    Ok please advise on queries

    Cheers

    Tonskie

    It is fairly new and not that active, occasionally people will join, there's 21 members, and I'll help recruit some more in the transfer. Bloggers do seem to pick up on the idea though - I've managed to get placement on Johnchow.com & Ning's Network Blog without really trying - so a bit of pushing can lead to something. But yeah, it's quiet.

    As far as putting it on your own network, I will help you obtain it, so the running costs will effectively become zero. :)
