Revenue:
The website currently receives revenue in 4 ways:

Direct: We currently charge 6 websites $15/month for posting their links on our homepage. Our revenue from direct advertising is currently $90/month (We currently accept a maxiumum of 6 links for the homepage)

Google: The website currently receives on average $2-$3, however, the site gets more/less depending on the popularity of the videos.

Video Advertising: Advertisements on videos currently generate about $1 per day. This is low because of the quality of the ads we are currently in. We are working with our advertising company to switch our ads to high quality ads so we can both get better quality ads and higher revenue. We are estimating to make anywhere from $10-$15/per day when we make our switch.

text-link-ads.com: Our ads are currently valued at $15/month by the website. So far we have sold one link (which can be viewed at the footer of the homepage). We have set a maximum of 6 slots for this service as well.

Please refer to http://www.sports-tube.com/advertise.php for more revenue information.

Total about $200-$300/month​

Reason for Sell:
We are going to be involved in a much larger project that will take up too much of our time. We would like to continue to see the website grow in the hands of somebody who is willing to dedicate more time. For that reason we will only be selling it to somebody who is willing to continue the development of the website. In addition we currently have several ideas for the future growth of the website which we will share in detail to the buyer for assured further growth.

Preferred payment will be a wire transfer, however, Paypal will be considered.

BIN: $10,000

awesome site whats the script used and what hosting service are you using?

Thanks.

 

same questions as mikey

is it just the site or the whole llc you want to sell?

 

Nice Site,

What scripts are you using and what type of hosting?

 

same questions as above. I would also like to see a business plan for the LLC, traffic stats, referral stats etc..

 

What script do you use and is it paid per year or indefinite?

 

I have also the same questions as previous members.
Why don`t you put the info here instead of pm, this will help ypu get more interested buyers here. For example the script, are the videos hosted on your site, how many uploads you get per day, Traffic sources etcs.

Thanks in advance.

 

Script: The script is a modified version of ClipShare. We actually began the website in January of this year and did modifications/customizations/and bug fixes for two months until finally launching. We also have gone thru a lot of changes throughout the year so I wouldn't say the script today, after all the modifications, should be considered ClipShare but its own customized script for SportsTube.

Hosting: We currently outsource our hosting thru Infrenion networks. We believe we get the best value thru Infrenion and have been satisfied with their service since the beginning. The buyer can choose either to take over the current hosting agreements or transfer to another host.

 

Is there any starting bid or just BIN?

 

Just a BIN, the website won't be sold for anything less. Thanks for your question.

 

hmmmm can i see revenue proof please?

$10k = 50 months of the revenue you are estimating.

 

dragons5 your questions has been answered:

"Your calculations are based on present revenue of the website. The website is still growing at a steady rate. It will not be surprising the see a lot more growth in terms of revenue in the near feature. In addition we have set a 6 spot limit for direct advertising on the homepage. This number can also be increased thus increasing the current revenue."

Furthermore, the buyer can establish many more direct advertisements to gain additional revenue such as; Video advertising, banner advertising, full page ads none of which are currently in effect on the website today. Cost of links will also increase over time as the websites ratings improve. For example Text-link-ads.com currently values 1 link on the website at $15/month, this price will change once the PR + Alexa increase.

(As of November 26th, 2008 another link was sold from Text-link-ads.com for $15/month. This link can be viewed at the footer of the page)

 

what player is it using? adotube?

 

bump it up

50 months revenue ? I think that is a bit too much. You are saying that the site has potential and such, but that is just all speculation on the advertising and stuff you can find. If u can find a better advertising company and show us the change in revenue then it would be worth it but for the current stats 50x revenue is crazy.

 

Whats the high bid and reserve

 

speaking from experience in the video industry you're not gonna get good ad rates til about 80k or so in the Alexa rank and a PR5. anything under that is pretty rough and what he's getting now is on the high of what i would expect with what I am estimating his traffic at.

That's not to say that there isn't room for revenue, but it's gonna take lots of work and skill.

also there are established compensations for sports broadcasting and viewing which will give rise to licensing issues.

 

Hey,

I think the website is great and has potential but is over valued.

First, your monthly revenue is based of estimation(s). What currently you have is ($30) from adsense plus ($30) from inner pages. Now I would love to see a snap shot of your total adsense to see if those values are correct. The best way to value any portfolio is to determine how much it is currently making now.

The reason estimations are not good is because of the metrics that are used. How are you qualifying this increase in revenue from $1 - $15? Also the potential. Due to the ambiguity, I would rather pay for something that is concrete.

So can you post your adsense revenues monthly and other revenue streams?

Thanks.
