    Celebrity Niche - Membership - First Page Listing in Google
    Existing members. Almost 8 year old domain. Consistent Money. PR 2

    * Listed: 3 Dec 2007

    Description:

    I was originally only going to sell the domain, but I figured I would float the option of the site. Now before we get too far into this, I have the numbers, and screen shots to back up claims.

    I started a replacement site with better SEO url and web design to replace this site. I always thought I would come back to it, but it's been 2 years or more now, and I haven't done a thing.

    That's right. 2 years of NO UPDATES of any kind, and it's still consistently on page 1, or 2 of it's catagory, and keeps recurring memberships.

    I process through Verotel. Domain is through a GoDaddy reseller. Hosting is with PHATSERVERS.

    The site it's self has 100's of thousands of celebrity bare foot images I've collected up to a certain point online (before launching replacement site).

    The site design is terrible html that I dealt with for years. However, all that said, people still sign up, and rebill for this site.

    Now, you can make an offer on the domain only. If it's tasty enough, I may take it.

    It made approx $2500 this year with me doing absolutely nothing!! No updates to freebie or membership area.

    You can make an offer on the site, and it's 100's of thousands of images, plus the domain, and members. Or you can make offer for just the domain. I'm open to all serious opportunities. As I said, the site has just been sitting there for 2 years since I made a better version.

    Stats available upon request. Serious bidders only. (send PM)

    Auction continues until payment is made in full. If the offer is right, I may close auction prior to run date.

    MIN BID $5000.00 (open to counter offers but not trades)

    Revenue Details:

    Membership $14.95 recurring, 16.95 non. It manages to keep 11-20 members for a site that has not been active in 2 years. Old domain with consistent 1st/2nd page in it's category.

    Please contact me by PM. Not IM. Thank you.

    Some people have contacted me on this, so I will clarify.

    You can make an offer on just the domain, and if tasty enough I may consider it.

    Or if you want to consider an offer for the whole site, all the images, the re-billing members then you can make an offer on that.

    Sorry for the confusion. I am open to different offers. However, it must be in the ball park.

    The domain it's self is worth $1500 easy
    You add in a steady first page listing for it's niche.
    Then 100's of thousands of picture content already categorized...

    This doesn't even get into the fact that with a quick face lift and getting back to updates you'll be making what I was a few years ago. A simple update, or rotator script with the content, established domain name, and google placement in a niche with little competition.

    This is a frickin' steal for someone who wants to put in a little time, and actually knows something about making money on line with membership sites.

    You could make your money back in 3-6 months.

    New owner would.

    You would set up an account at Verotel for processing through their 'ticketsclub'. Once that is set up, you can migrate the billing to you for existing memberships.

    All future memberships would go directly to you through your own account.

    Furthermore on this site

    In this niche, there are only really three major competitors.

    You are already getting an solid existing archive of material to put you above anyone new coming in.

    Plus an existing, better part of a decade, name recognition domain name, and 1st page Google listing.

    Also some existing members.

    This site is a steal at $10k.

    Private bid submitted.

    Still a few more days to go!

    If this type of membership site, content, and opportunity is out of your league...

    I still do have the celeb mini sites available for the ultimate in lazy webmasters.

    Members pay by credit card through Verotel. You process through their 'tickets club' option. Easy set up. I've never had a complaint in all these years. You get your checks every week. I have them ACH to my bank account.

    I have them as the main processor on all my sites, with CCB as a back up.

    Membership sites are where you want to be in the online game. Do your updates, and your site grows. As does your membership base. As I explained earlier. Even with NO UPDATES in a couple of years. I still collect some decent money for a website just because of the archived material!

    THAT my friends, is golden.
