I am looking for ideas on things to do with this site: secondsplease.com I have tried to sell it with no luck, and don't want to continue to develop it. I basically put it up and left it alone and it gets some traffic. I believe it is a PR 3 site. Open for suggestions.. Should I: ditch it? plaster Adsense on it? develop it? try to sell it? or something else?
If You're not able to sell it for now I would put adsense on it and try to monetize a bit. So then You can say it makes X$/month and maybe it would become more atracting. Do You have any members? It's a strange site. I mean the idea is good but something's missing. Maybe You could link to associations that help a certain group of people You know? Associate yourself with other people like blog owners or foruns that share the same goal as your site... Hope it helps!
I agree... It's kinda a half-done idea... One of those things I started and got busy on something else. I like the script though. I wonder if I could build some type of membership site around some other concept. The biggest problem with this idea is getting someone to actually donate something... probably not going to happen.
The concept of this site looks like a non-starter. It is basically a site made for people asking for free handouts which are the type of people who won't pay to join it. Any who do are probably professional beggars. I would scrap it and use the domain for something else (something food related maybe?) or get rid of it.
Believe it or not, I had several people that actually bought memberships... of course I ended up refunding them. (I forgot the site was still active and didn't realize people were subscribing). The site was making $30-$40/mo for about 3-4 months... I have also thought about something food related...
I thought that everyone that had a subscription was refunded due to PayPal dispute opened, but it looked like PayPal in fact did not reverse the transaction? I was auditing further back and it looks like there are a couple of subscriptions as far back as the first quarter of the year. I have just used the "Send Money" feature to refund anyone that has ever subscribed on this site. Is there anything else I can do here? My goal was never to scam anyone on this site. I honestly can't believe it got subscriptions!?
You know your site is interesting and not a bad idea really. Seems like you need to get some attention. Maybe call your local news channel, they are always looking for a good story that is helpful for people. There are a lot of people out there that would be willing to help especially with the economy the way it is. Maybe point out the fact that this would be a good tax credit for the donation. Lots of people looking to spend a little money before the end of the year for tax deductions, too bad that just passed but it still might work. Mm
