what keyword/niche

this the same as your dslcelb thread?

 

Nope.

I own/buy/sold a number of celebrity websites. A couple membership. Others as link bait. Some under development.

Redesigning DSL Celebs, and will launch as a revamped site later this year.

 

I forgot to mention...

there is an active message board/forum attached with this. Here are the stats.

5818 Posts in 3586 Topics by 1929 Members

Again, only those who can afford it, and can prove it... aka serious inquires... contact me. I can provide all stats, etc via screen shots to those who are serious buyers.

 

okie i am serious then and need info from you. As we are already into tons of celeb sites. If you can't give us info then pls don watse my time

 

Can provide info if you can show you have $75,000.00


Also, in addition to someone else's question via PM.

Yes, the site does make some money via adsense. But that is chump change. MEMBERSHIPS (monthly recurring, and one time sign ups) is where you make your money on this site. The monthly membership fee, multiplied, by the number of members.

The message board has not been monetized.

 

How can your "page views" can be lesser than "unique visitors"?
Also, 75K for site making $3.5K and that too for a celeb related site?

 

$3.5K a MONTH

At $75k it's a bargain since 2 years of revenue is $84k. That doesn't include the added bonus of message board. Or factor in sales going up. As for celebrity site, yes. Massive content people pay for. It's not hard to understand. Membership sites are the best investment of time, and resources in the online game.

Laziness of surfers pays.

Next step, do you HAVE $75,000.00? As in, are you an interested party, or just asking non-buying related questions.

 

2 years to break even is way out of bounds. _ I offer 10k

 

Your offer is not even realistic.

Pay sites, with a membership base, plus all the extras in this deal is worth a solid 2+ years of revenue minimum.

A serious player in the online game would not even humiliate themselves making such a low ball offer.

You might be able to buy the DB, and the dsl domain, which is still 1st page for $10k, but that's about it.

 

Here's the traffic screen shot 4-6-2008

Here's the SP link for bidding.

if this is too rich for your blood. I still do have smaller offering(s).

1. Work in limited partnership in developing a celeb skin site if you buy the DB. get you up, running, some link, and SEO. Membership set up, etc.
2. You can buy a similar, defunct, site with domain. Top page listing, further down. Plug in that older DB to a CMS script.

 

Hi Barefootsies,

I remember you from another forum I lost my password to. Long time no see.

You have an error in your initial stats, 140 million uniques per month out of 10 million page views per month.

Also, I don't think the crowd here understands you are selling a membership website. You have $3,500 per month in rebills I assume? Great price, good luck with the sale.

 

Hiya buddy. Thanks for the kind words.

Yeah. I couldn't go back in to the initial post to edit that (time passed), so I posted the screen shot. People can read it themselves. Or check the SP.

Yep. Rebills (i.e. re-billing members). Nice income. That doesn't even get into the extra nickel and dime revenue (from Ads, sponsors, etc). But it gives an idea.

For those who can't afford a solid investment. If they can afford a DB copy, I will help them for a limited time develop their own celeb skin site. Some may prefer swimsuit, skin, topless, or some other niche covered in the archive.

I just do what I like, but there is a lot of different niche possibilities to those who know the celeb niche, and want some steady income. More importantly, have the cash, and time to invest.

 

Here's my worry... How many copies of the data are you going to sell?

 

Actually this is a valid question, however, I do not think it's really a big concern. Here's why.

1. If you buy the DB. You are talking the original DB at the sales date. After that, the new owner's version would differ from any other's.

2. The DB has a variety of images that can be used any number of ways. You could do a plain vanilla celeb site. You could do a celerity ... bikini site, a skin site (like Mr Skin), legs, all one particular popular celeb, hundreds of individual celebrity sites, singers, sports women, european celebs, etc.

You see where I can going here.... someone with time, resources, could make 5-10 sites out of the same DB sorting it into different niches. There is more than enough content. So even then, it's not going to match someone else's.

3. One person may continue to update the DB. Another may just make a shuffling cms. Others may use it for a niche network. Many I have talked to are more t-n-a, or mainstream celebrity niches. So I doubt there are going to be 100 people dropping $15k on a massive DB to flood any market.

So I do not think any one who bought a site, or a DB, would have anything to worry about should they have the resources to afford the site/DB. This is really for someone who really enjoys the celebrity niche. Wants to get into a pay site model, and make recurring revenue. There are a hundred ways to work the DB into skin site, or mega site, various niches, or mini's.

 

This question has come up on the phone, and in conversations a few times now. in regards to hosting...

I host my celebrity sites (these two, not all) over at b-h-e.com. Mainly because that is where I started hosting way back some 10 years ago. The majority of my sites are over at phatservers.net, and all new projects are going to mojohost.com. (That is until I complete my own later this year)

I moved all my other sites 3-4 years back for better dedicated pricing then I was getting at b-h-e. Also better customer service. I have never had issue with a hosting company. I do not believe you need any "special company" for sites like these.

However, I WOULD recommend that at bare minimum expect to go with a semi-dedicated server (approx $75.00 @ phat). I would recommend a solid hosting company with good support, like those I mentioned above. But that is for ANY site. I like my trouble tickets answered in minutes to an hour any time of day. But that's just me.

 

Additional Sales Information:

The first year this site was launched in May (of that year), I made just shy of $10k and it was not even a fully completed archive A-Z. The sales double, and tripled each year since (screen shots provided to serious buyers only).

Even if you do not buy the original site, and want a copy of DB/script. You are going to pay a minimum of 1st year's sales results. Hence, my quote above. If you can't afford $XX,XXX save your time, and mine.

This is a solid opportunity for someone who wants to make real money, in a pay site model, and enjoys the celebrity niche. For who have a domain, and celebrity niche or market they want to go after. I can easily re-skin and plug in a DB to a similar site. You may need to get someone to develop you a new CSS to taylor it more to your liking. But you would be up and running in no time.

Again this is for people with money, and are serious about making money. No one is going to give you a massive archive, much less a script, and help for a ridiculously low price. Established or not. You are not going to get all the tools to be successful for $100.00.

If you have questions, you can contact me via e-mail, IM, or phone (serious buyers).

 

I posted some additional screen shots over on the SP auction.

I did not have Google Analytics before 10/2007. Mainly used webalizer. However, I posted the graphs for the additional tracking information for those who did want to see what it looked like.

As for processors on membership. I know there are a lot of different mainstream processors out there. But, I mainly have worked in the adult market over my 10 years on the web, with the exception of some of the celeb sites. So I typically deal with adult processors. I personally use Verotel (Tickets Club).

They are good. Never had a late payment. I get paid every week via ACH (no wire fee). If you use their tickets club option. You do not have to pay the $750-1000 VISA fee. Which is nice. You can always pay that if you think you need a more hardcore processing, or, you have a lot of membership sites and need more features.

If you have any specific questions on this, please contact me. Please remember, I can't speak to ALL processors out there. Their terms, and fees may be different. My experience has mainly been with CC Bill, B-H-E, Clips4Sale, Paypal, Paymonde, and Verotel.

 

Additional info:

On the SP auction listing, it mentions a possibly 'partnership' option. This would be for someone who can't afford the site, but wanted to buy a celebrity archive, and either....

1. Copy of DB. Can program their own CMS script and just needs some link building, and set up help

2. Needs a CMS (copy, or limited custom) and an older archive (14 GB, Approximately 4301 celebs) . But will be doing all the work. This includes doing the work of putting the pictures in the DB. I have a programmer working on this right now.

For anything like this, you need to contact me directly. But you are going to need $X,XXX down payment before work begins.. So if you do not have it. No need to contact me.

Updates, currently are done through an FTP and web based, or browser. You upload all the images for say, "Alba", (let's assume you already have Alba gallery, or page) and once all the images are uploaded. You will find "Alba" in the menu of the browser/admin. Click on it.

If you scroll down to the bottom. You see the new pictures highlighted. This makes sure you have the right pictures going into the right celeb page. Once you're clear, then click "save".

The script will auto sort, update, and thumb your new updates. The new pictures will have a different colored border around them for 24 hours (you can change this) and older/archive/membership area pictures are a darker color, and only accessible to paying members. Rinse, wash, repeat, for the next celebrity.

It takes me 1-2 hours a day to do an update. From the collecting pictures, to posting them. If you do not launch the site with full archive. You could be done in less time on smaller galleries, or celeb updates. While you can update as much as you want. I typically only do 25-28 celeb names a day. This covers up the front page of the site with the new updates.

Updates can range from one picture to a few hundred. Luck of the draw.
