Dear Dp Members, Thanx to all who r reading this post of mine. I baught a domain in august n then i started working on it . In Oct 1st week i launched my social networking site under the name www.connectingcrowd.com. For the the 4th Oct 2010, uptil now i have 600+ members and 5 million page views already. Me and my partner started this site for long term but suddenly due to an accident my partner is unable to work for sometime he is seriously injured as he was the one who was working on promotion of this site where as i was working as a developer. The website launched in 1st week of Oct 2010 has earned so far around $2200 as per sales of virtual currency in terms of selling golds for playing pets. Now i need a suggestion that what should i do should i sell this site or get into partnership withsome one who can promote this website as it has a lot n lot of earning potentials i already missed a couple of $$$ due to my alertpay account still not activated as i dont know y they take so much time to review website . And if u suggest me to sell this site what do u think this site could be sold at . I have all the proofs of earnings and also website stats i really need your honest suggestions as i m just concern abt marketing i m not very good at it n my partner is seriously injured so i m confused what to do .
honestly, if its generating income and growing find a partner to do the marketing and fill the role of the original marketer. if your spending more money than its generating and its becoming more of a chore and hassle (and the difference is greater) then sell it. i dont know how you would price it though, i would do something like the current income and multiply it with adjustments for future growth potential from past experience as well as value the domain. good luck.
It just had one time development cost which is already been beared and maintenance cost is around 10$ which is hosting cost rest its is not taking any money n my expectation is around $3000 a month on autopilot but i need to market it as i m not into marketing by any mean. As for the first month i got around 600+ members and they are growing as my partner work a lot when he was there until last friday when he faced an accident i also dont wana sell this site as its going more better then we expected 5million pageviews so far what do u say abt that .
I wouldnt sell it if its generating income.. What I would do is hire someone (from DP), that will work on Link building or directory submissions. The pay is not much, and you'll still have the website, which im sure you've worked hard for. Good luck to you!
Thanx for the advice i really appreciated it and do u personally have any idea abt doing so or if u can suggest me anything better in your mind along with this suggestion u gave me i will more appreciated if u once visit the site n tell me more better suggestion as i really dont wana sell it . And yes my partner will be back i hope but it will take a little time for him to work again .
