Income

It is currently supported by its trainer, and advert's on the site

These adverts have had a large viewcount. They do however, have a small clickthrough rate (typicaly 5-7 clicks per thousand views)

The premium trainer is a feature which is included with the site sale, since it is auto updating. The trainer will be updated by its creator (not myself) until the end of december, after that date, He can either be employed to recreate it, or it will break once EA updates its system (which takes a long time!)

Also included is a script on the site which AUTOMATICALLY aproves them to use the donator trainer, once they pay (using the paypal IPN)

Here is an image from paypal to show the donations (please remember these are SUBSCRIPTIONS, not just one off payments; that means, they will keep coming, and many people will forget to cancel them!)




Auction end date: December 7th


I believe this site could be more monetized, and even improved in terms of SEO and hits (it has got its current views from a youtube video) I think the right person can easily double the sites population, activity, and premium members.



Any questions?

 

Why did you sell?

 

Several Reasons:

1) I am a web developer and designer (see 99d.co.uk) I am not a marketer, I reckon someone else could improve it and make it earn them more, so its worth more for me to sell it.

2) I need some cash in time for christmas! (I am only 18!)

3) I don't have time to run it anymore, so I have let my other staff run it, and I fear they are doing a bad job.


I would also like to add, since I dont have the revenue to invest in this (with christmas coming up, and me being 18) I haven't had time to do much to it, If i had revenue, I would re-invest into it, buy it vBulletin + VBSeo, maybe some ad's on google, increase the trainer price, and quite a bit more.
