Selling CasterHub.com - Amazing Opportunity & Slickly Designed

    This auction is for the casterhub.com design, domain, concept, and potentially the *partially coded product*.

    Starting Bid: $100

    The Concept

    Video game casting has exploded over the last year, especially with the release of Starcraft 2. Of the top 25 most viewed YouTube channels, 3 are Starcraft and Starcraft 2 gamecasters.

    Caster Hub is designed to capitalize on this new phenomenon by addressing two major issues with gamecasting.

    1. Finding and sorting videos of gamecasts is extremely difficult. Even if you find a channel with videos you're looking for (which is a chore in itself) it's impossible to properly sort them by matchup, maps, events, and any other game-specific filters you may need.
    2. 99% of viewers want access to replays of individual games they see casted. Most people watch gamecasts casually and then download the replay if they find the game particularly interesting. Caster Hub combines Replays and Videos as both part of the same "media".

    Other features of Caster Hub include:
    • Allowing casters a nexus to connect with their fans and manage their relationships. Most casters do not invest in building their own websites and YouTube or other video hosting services don't provide enough tools for them.
    • Allows casters to integrate social media to their accounts so their fans can connect to them via Twitter or Facebook.
    • Gives casters their own blogs and calendars.
    • Allows casters to accept donations (which is their primary source of income).
    • Allows for expansion into other games which are also experiencing extreme growth in the field of gamecasting.

    The Design

    This auction includes a completely custom design. The screenshots are attached (looks like there's a limit of 5 - I'd be more than happy to email all screens to serious buyers). The screenshots will also show you all of the planned features and how the flow of the website would ideally be if completed.

    The Development

    The concept is *partially* completed and live at http://www.casterhub.com. You can see that it is missing many features but the core of the site has been completed. It is built off of Wordpress, and I can setup a demo for you if you're a serious buyer.

    I've invested over $1,000 on development thus far but I admit this site as it is is *not ready to launch*. Which is why I'm selling. To a developer with some extra time or a non-developer with a freelancer handy it won't take much to finish this site. But I've run out of funds and motivation to follow through as the developer I hired was unable to complete the project.
