    Hi All,

    I listed this health community for sale some weeks ago but did not really get the amount of exposure that i expected. Therefore i decided to relist the site with alot more detailed information.

    This community is developed to provide public with a database of useful health information, applications and of course, a platform for them to mingle around and share knowledge revolving around their health.

    Started in 2009, i had invested an adequate amount of funds for this start-up to fly off. Health is no doubt a competitive industry. However, with the high ROI in health niche, i am sure that, if you are the right person, venturing into the health industry will be a smart and profitable move.

    The Platform

    The community is powered with wordpress and vbulletin. Making use of wordpress powerful publishing module and vbulletin extensive framework, the community is already leading the competitors in terms of software capability.
    The Health applications

    My initial focus of the community is not just on the community itself (allowing users to mingle etc). I have pumped in majority of the funds in developing new, creative, useful health applications to assist users in leading a healthier lifestyle. Currently, there are 6 applications developed.

    1) BMI Calculator
    2) The Calories Mentor
    3) Smoking Savers
    4) Asthma Test
    5) Nicotine Addiction Test
    6) Diabetes Test Risk

    Health Content

    There are now 98 health articles, well written by professional writers. Though health content is not that big, it provides a just nice database to start off. All the articles are uniquely written.

    Traffic

    I would say i failed in gaining enough traffic to this community as i am very new to the health niche. There are 80 to 100 unique targeted visitors daily. Not much advertising had been done since launched, only one press release. An experienced owner, who is already in the health niche will be able to do very well with the community as everything is already there.

    Revenue

    I started this community with the good intention of influencing people to live a better lifestyle; therefore i did not monetize the site at all. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, i am forced to sell this community to gain more funds.

    Design

    I have been a web designer/develop for years and this community has been one of my best site. It is designed in web 2.0 style. See it for yourself.

    Conclusion

    Lastly, i would like to urge the buyers to appraise the site not by the amount of revenue it generate, but the amount of potential that it can generate. If you are not really interested, please do not pm me as it will waste valuable time of both you and mine. This will not be a bidding system. Please pm me your best offers. My reserve is $2.5k
