Well, I did it again. I just was itchy to make some fast cash and found my most vulnerable site and had to put it out there. Myspace Login was just sitting there all innocent looking. He didn’t want to get put up for sale. But after matching him up with everything else I had, it just made the most sense (afterall, I have like 4 sites running this same script).
So I sold one of my precent PR5 upgraded Myspace resource sites on Digitalpoint for a cool $200. I really thought I cuold get more since you can sell PR5 links for like $10/mo, but people just weren’t buying it. I think a lot of bidders are fed up of seeing the same stupid myspace resource sites up for sale. The same scripts with the same layouts over and over again.
After some negotiating, I lowered my initial BIN $350 down to $200 with only a few hours left in the auction. I think they buyer got a great deal. The sitegets around 30-70 uniques/day and has hardly any outbound links. It has made an average of like $2-3/month from adsense. It’s a great starter site. If the buyer can drive traffic to it, there’s no doubt he’ll make his money back in like 2 months time.
So why did I sell? Why was I ‘itching’ for cash? Well, I’ll be honest with you.. I’ve fallen in love with Vbulletin. I’ve always been a fan of forums, and truly believe that great success can be achieved if you can build a quality forum that can stand the test of time. Easier said than done right?
So, I sold my site for $200 so I could invest in a vbulletin license and a $30 vb skin. I found a great skin that I will be able to customize to fit my sites needs. If the site takes off, I can always get a custom skin done later. I have a solid idea for a forum, that only has one major competitor. I feel I can step in there and capitalize on the situation. If the forum becomes successful, I feel it can last for a good 6 years before it becomes obsolete.
More info on this project to come in the future. I already have the domain purchased, just need to get everything set up. Hopefully by Friday!

4If you keep selling off your sites as soon as they begin to show some potential, you’ll never have a steady flow of income. You’re doing the tough part, building a site and getting a good PR. With a little more effort, you could be earning from these sites, and pulling in some money! Instead, you’re handing them off to other people to do that instead…

5I bought the site. Its my first myspace site and it was ideal. If I dont have any luck with improving the traffic then I always have the pagerank to fall back on.
Good luck with your new project – maybe I will buy it from you in a few months

6I have to disagree with you, Carl. I think that what David is doing is the right thing. He is carefully reducing his network to the right method. He has three of the same site. Why? Rather than have three of the same site, I’d rather have one of that type of site. Frankly, what I think he should do is just direct one of his domain names to the other myspace site and then make more money off one site. But that’s just what I think.
From what I can tell, David has a plan for a certain type of network and I think that his methods of acquiring sites and selling them is good. So, I have to say that without a doubt, I am confident in his ability to turn this into success. But what do I know? My earnings yesterday were $.06. :p

8I really have to keep an eye open on those MySpace sites, but you’re right – They became quite transparent to buyers cause they’re so common.

9I would have just sold links like you said. You could have sold for less than $10.00 month and made your money back. You could have sold 15 year long links for $50.00 a pop and made $750.00 and just pay the small hosting fee.

10Jack – you’re probably right. I might try that with my other sites instead of selling them.

11You could have made more than $10 for a PR5 link..
I found it easy to sell 3 PR4 links @ $40 each
