    A long, long time and a lot of hard work has gone into the planning and construction of this website, and if it wasn't for offline events rearing their ill-timed heads, it definately wouldn't be listed here for sale.

    I have worked toward creating and running a website of this calibre for the past four years. Serious hours have been poured into learning design techniques,writing styles, content purchase, and endless research into what young men are looking for in a website.

    After a few failed but relatively successful attempts OkLads.com has arrived on the scene.

    OkLads is directed at young men aged 18 plus. The sites aim is primarily to satisfy their hunger for short interesting articles on health, dating, sexuality, cars, sport and of course pictures of girls, both professional and the girl next door type. (Non Adult)

    It sits effortlessly between the existing teen websites and those catering for the more mature man such as askmen and fhm.

    OkLads features a new unique, gritty design. By unique I mean that there is not another the same as this anywhere. It has been designed exclusively by myself.

    * At the top beneath the menu is a screen that features the articles I want featured. They can come from any category the site owner chooses.
    * Just below that are 2 blocks of content. The left one features articles connected to dating, and the right features content relating to a general category we call "Ooh I say"
    * Immediately beneath those is a carousel that features articles relating to mens health and beneath that articles relating to sexuality.

    At the very bottom are three more blocks.

    * The first is a twitter feed from a twitter user. You can choose to have anyones feed here. I've gone for a woman who's tweets are quite funny..
    * The second is a form that the sites users can use to submit their own stories,
    * The third features images from the sites galleries. Every time the page is refreshed a new random selection are shown.

    The right hand column of the site has a variety of content including advertising spots, an area for short twitter like comments by the site users, and registration and login spots.

    Oklads also has an area devoted to videos, another to online games, another with a forum, and finally an area devoted to galleries.

    OkLads is built on the wordpress software, and as anyone who's seen that before will know, adding new content is a cinch. You do not need to be a webmaster to run this site. You simply fill in some boxes with a title, and then the article itself.

    The site has all the important social buttons installed such as twitter, digg, stumble etc, making it easy for the sites visitors to promote the site and articles.

    Along with OkLads comes a twitter account. Although very new, It already has more than 1,600 followers. (Update. Now has 2,100 plus) It also features a unique specially designed theme to match the oklads look.

    There is also an OkLads facebook account. I've only recently added this but there are 84 friends there already. Most are models who may be willing to help promote oklads. One of them has allowed me to make her our current oklads babe, and granted permission for us to use her photos.

    Every time an article is added to OkLads.com, both the twitter and facebook accounts are automatically updated. This means they both in effect run on autopilot.

    It also has a MySpace account. There are 226 friends, which took me about an hour to get. I can see that getting more will be fairly easy.

    I wanted to get the name out fairly quickly, so I had some T-Shirts printed (as shown) I've handed these out as a marketing exercise and have about a dozen left which I'll post to the new owner. You can get more printed easily by visiting the online printing company that I used.

    I am also part way through producing an OFFLINE issue of the OkLads magazine. I am using an online magazine publisher for this, as I believe that a real life magazine would help people look at the OkLads brand in a serious way.

    Obviously, this would be an ideal opportunity to offer full and half page advertising space to large brands. It's up to the new owner whether they wish to proceed with this.

    All the articles on OkLads are copyscape passed as unique. This is your proof that none of the content has been plaguerised, leading to potential future copyright issues.

    At the moment, not much work has been done to monetise the site, as I have concentrated on filling it with fresh new content.
    I have though affiliated it with an online poker company, google adsense and of course the multiplayer games. The online poker in particular, will be huge as the sites traffic grows. It is the most advanced poker channel on the net and getting accepted by them as an affiliate is at best difficult. So assume NO Income.

    You can of course offer advertising spots on the site, as the traffic grows.
    In the right hands, the OkLads brand should make a lot of money for someone who can market it properly.

    The best way to look at this, is as a business with fantastic potential. I feel that the domain name in particular has fantastic potential. You have to decide whether you have what's needed for it to become successful. In the right hands, and with the right marketing, this site will become big.
    There are also a couple of accounts with video sharing websites.

    OkLads has accounts with YouTube and DailyMotion. So far there are 7 videos uploaded to both that work to promote Oklads.com. The videos are well made and are not something that's been slung together.

    1. So all in all, everything is in place to build this into a successful venture. To summarise, You get the OkLads.com website, including all existing content.
    2. The High value 6 letter dot com domain name OkLads
    3. The associated Twitter account with more than 1600 followers.
    4. The associated Facebook account, with currently 84 friends.
    5. The associated YouTube account and all videos.
    6. The associated DailyMotion account and all videos.
    7. The associated MySpace account with currently 100 friends.


    If you have any questions, just drop me a line and I'll do my best to answer them.
