Selling Niche Fitness Site

Discussion in 'Sites' started by thunderbird, Apr 2, 2011.

    Fitness is a lucrative niche. There is massive interest in it. Tapping into this industry is a nice way to enhance income. This site taps into the multibillion dollar fitness industry via articles on yoga, weight loss, exercise machines, pilates, nutrition, and more.

    This site is idiot-proof. You could put it up as is and not need to do a thing and it will still make money every month, or boost it for even better results. Definitely a good investment (eg, a fraction of the price of say a $25K trust fund or bank savings account, yet much better results)
    -- automated to provide contents for up to a year.
    -- Created with an easy-to-use WP magazine theme with lots of presentation choices. Now upgraded!
    -- benefits from traffic of a bunch of similarly named sites -- VibeFit -- but only this one has the superior vibefit.com name.

    The deal you get with the included premium plugins alone will make this purchase a bargain for the winning bidder, even without the domain and website, lol.

    I didn't find a way to reset the price. Since traffic and earnings are down, BIN will now be $147. I've added articles and upgraded the site, improving descriptions so there is more relevant information for search engines to grab onto. It should start producing earnings again, since it is a site with relevant information for visitors.

    Premium plugins on site:
    --WP Simplicity This is a powerful plugin that allows to carry out a choice of tasks, eg find images for articles, find amazon products, ebay products, clickbank products, find articles. It also features a system of quickly installing all time favorite plugins. Check out the description.
    -- WP Stealth This plugin allows you to encrypt or shorten links. Can be useful, especially with affiliate products.
    -- WP SEO Thunder. Will automatically add the exact keyword tags that Google itself suggests making searches. In google search, you type a word and a dropdown appears with popular combos using that word. This plugin finds those words for you.



    The main thing for the buyer would be to work on backlinks, forum signatures, participating in relevant discussions where people would like you to share your website, etc..

    I'm selling with the intention of using the money to reinvest in a couple of more ambitious internet projects. That said, I'm not desperate to sell by any means. If no one is convinced of its value, that is fine with me. I'd be just as happy to keep it. It's a good investment that will takes care of itself, even hands off. If the reserve price is not met, no sell. So anyone who wants to lowball it, forget it -- it ain't happening here, lol.

    I base the price on amount of revenue it generates. I have an mp3 site listed for sale here that has 100% unique content and hasn't performed as well, and therefore its asking price is much lower. The proof is in the pudding, not in speculation about "unique content."

    Ironically, the copyscape result shows an article that I wrote myself, "Excercise Bikes - Great for Cardiovascular Fitness." Ain't that something? C'est la vie.

    I was just looking at the analytics for the top ten articles. While I have a number of original articles on the site that I wrote, not one of them is among the top ten, or even the top 20.

    I think "duplicate content" refers to sites that are clones of other sites, not sites with some of the same articles, and that is why news sites do very well even though they are full of articles that are also on other news sites. Otherwise the news sites would be out of business, lol.

    I just look at the actual performance and delivery of a site. If it is performing well and delivering well, that is what counts, whether or not it includes some articles that also appear on other sites.

    The reserve price wasn't reached. Therefore, there are no winning bids and I am not selling this domain to any of the bidders this auction. Thanks for your interest.

    I'm putting this site back on the market. There are several new articles set to automatically post on the site. The theme has been updated and ugraded and premium WP plugins have been added to the site.

    The stats have gone way down since I put the site up for sale on forums.digitalpoint.com. Doing so clearly downs traffic, since it always immediately happens to sites after I put them up for sale. Google seems to punish people for doing it.

    It is strange, but it never happened until putting them up for sale here. Traffic has started to increase since getting premium membership which allows me to choose the option for search engines not to spider it.

    BTW, this site is still available. It is actually nice Internet real estate.
