Selling Proxy Software Website w/Revenue For Sale

Discussion in 'Sites' started by FPForum, Oct 1, 2014.

    Today I've decided to list my proxy software business up for sale. This software has been in development since back in May and I've made dozens of changes to it since then. Continue reading to learn more about what is for sale and what you will receive!

    Domain
    www.Zalp.net - The domain is registered with NameSilo

    Software
    This software was developed to give users an easy way of both finding and testing proxy servers. People use proxies for a variety of reasons and this software allows them to automatically scrape hundreds of different websites to pull the proxies. Users can then test the proxies as well before using them for whatever reason they might need. It runs on all newer Windows computers and I currently charge $5 per license. The software was written by ME in Visual Basic. Anyone can download visual basic from the Microsoft website and open the source code to adjust or make any changes (although this doesn't really need to be done). Everything is set to go and all the new owner needs to do is get payment from the customers and send them a registration key. I can either provide the new owner with a list of registration keys, or even re-publish the software so no keys are required.

    Website
    The website runs on Wordpress. I've written all the content myself and had some images custom made so everything (aside from the theme) is completely unique. The new owner will need to do very minimal (if any) work on the website to keep things going. As I mentioned, I currently sell this software dirt cheap at just $5 per license. The new owner can easily adjust this if they want. Bump the price up to $10 and you could be earning DOUBLE what I currently am!

    Traffic
    I initially launched Zalp Proxy Software back in May and it was an extremely basic version. At that time I was even offering free versions of the software (which generated over 2000 downloads). In late August I gave the software an entire re-design, made it multi-threaded, and added all the different online sources for scraping. Since finally launching the paid version early in early September I've been experimenting with all different kinds of marketing and advertising techniques. I've done nothing but free marketing on this website (forum posting, link exchanges, social media...etc.) up until about the 10th of September. At that time I decided to purchase a few cheap advertising spots on proxy lists to see if it would increase revenue. The traffic I purchased turned out to be poor, but skyrocketed. The new owner can find lots of cheap advertising out there on different proxy lists. But to be honest, this isn't really needed as the search traffic seams to be what converts the best anyways! If you would like to see the Google Analytics for this website please send me your Google Email Address and I can add you to them!

    Revenue
    This software earns all of its money from two sources, PayPal and SEOClerks (a website similar to Fiverr which lets you sell software). For those who come directly into the website - They simply purchase the software, checkout directly through PayPal, and are then taken to their unique download page where they can then download the software. For users on SEOClerks they simply purchase the software and then download it.

    For those who buy through the website - You will get the money directly into your PayPal account instantly. For those who buy through the SEOClerks website - The funds take some time to clear before they show up in your account and can then be withdrawn or spent on whatever you want there. As of right now either way, you will need to send them a registration key. If you want me to re-publish the software without any registration keys then nothing needs to be done on your part. They will pay, download, and you will receive the funds!

    What I've Already Done
    I've already done everything you need to sit back and let the sales come in. The website is setup is complete, the software coding is complete, and allot of marketing has already done and floating around the web. I've SEO'd the site to target keyphrases which I think convert the best and I've done some backlink building, forum promoting, and other various things to keep a steady flow of traffic coming in.

    What The New Owner Should Do
    The new owner has a few different choices. First, just let it sit! No code needs to be altered and all that you would really need to do is change my PayPal address to your own (Plus, setup your own SEOClerks post so sales from there go to you and not me)... The second option would be to continue with any kind of promotion you desire. As mentioned above - There are tons of different high traffic proxy websites out there which you can buy advertising on dirt cheap..Getting this website up to 5-6K uniques per month would not be terribly difficult or expensive because most proxy websites offer advertising for around $3-$5 per month.

    What All is Included
    The new owner gets it all! The website, domain, full source code (with full rights), and anything else related to the website or application!

    Bonus
    As long as you host with a cPanel provider, I would be happy to transfer everything over to your hosting for you! Provide me with some cPanel login details and I'll get the website, setup file, and everything else with it moved onto your host!

    Price/Bidding
    Serious bidders only please. The BIN is set at a firm $600 which gets you everything!

    Thanks @mytechiestuff! It's a nice project for someone looking to make some earnings aside from Adsense (although that could always be added into the website)..At the rate copies have been selling so far, I don't think bumping the price up to $10/copy would really hurt either.. But it would take some testing and monetizing.

    Hey, the new owner will have full source code so they have the ability to do it themselves..Along with that, if they want to hire their own programmer to make updates they could also do that. A third option would be to speak with me and I could make other updates for a small fee. Thanks!

    No problem mobilefonebuyer! Since I know some people may be worried about updates - I would be willing to include 2 updates for the software as a bonus. This covers the new owner if there are any changes or adjustments they would like to be made!
