Neville's Financial Blog

Over the next few weeks I'll be selling off some websites on the SitePoint forums. It's one of the better places I've seen to sell a site.

The sites I'll be selling are sites which had (and still have) potential, but I've never been focused enough on them. I don't think any of these sites failed as a businesses, they just lacked the attention they needed.

I will be selling off the following:
www.Resumite.com
www.FancyBlog.com
www.FacebookProfile.com


RESUMITE:
I remember building this site a while ago trying to sell Resume Websites.

Resume + Website = Resumite

I put up flyers around Austin, did some business and kind of lost interest. I wrote a post about it a while back, sometime when this blog was originally started.

FANCYBLOG:
I also did a post about this one. This was originally intended to be a place where people could browse blog themes from all different platforms of blogs. There was hardly any competition and a huge demand. I was never really into this site, but it now sits pretty on the internet with a PageRank of 5 and approximately 40-70 unique visitors a day. It hasn't been updated almost since I started it in April '05.

FACEBOOKPROFILE:
This site was started in May 2006 and picked up extremely quick. It had some appearances on Digg and similar sites and STILL gets between 1,100 and 1,450 unique hits a day, even though it hasn't been updated.

It was intended to be a Facebook resource site for ASCII art, hacks, tips and tricks etc...
It started well, and even made a couple of bucks a day in Adsense, but I didn't have the will to update it often. I'm sure someone could do great things with this site.

--------------------
Every week I'll post one of these websites in the SitePoint For Sale forums and see what they fetch! It costs $20 to post them, so that should be my only cost of selling them other than possible domain transfer fees.
