URL: www.footballstreams.com
Age of site (months): 12
Monthly revenue: $1,450.93 last month
Revenue details:
Proof of revenue is available. It can be shown in the form of 11
Paypal screenshots - inquire about it here or via PM if you're interested, and
I'll PM the URL for the screenshots.
Football season is August to May, so the site is very profitable during most
of the year, except June and July, basically.
(Edited): Income has been stable since the beginning of the season
(August), and was lower during the last season because the site was just a
forum there, not an actual site geared towards selling the lifetime
membership like it is now. You'll see sales peak during weekends or other
good football days. The owner didn't go through paypal to calculate other
months, but that info would be freely available to any serious bidders
requesting it.
The only expenses for this business are hosting (no need for anything other
than your average shared hosting account, as you're not hosting the actual
media streams), and one paid banner on another football site ( $90 or so for
every 3 months, already prepaid for around 6 weeks).
During September we have experimented with a price of 9.99 GBP (British
Pounds) and found that it does get sales, but apparently the drop in sales
vs. the rise in revenue is more or less similar. We have not tested for a long
time, so you may experience different results (perhaps you should raise the
price only by a couple of pounds).
Monthly pricing of 2.99 (GBP)/month was also tested for a few days, and did
receive sales but not too many.
There aren't a lot of refund requests at all, specific stats will be researched
via paypal upon request.
Monthly page views: Around 5-6,000 pageviews monthly
Traffic details:
Traffic comes mainly from search engines and just one paid banner (it's not
your average banner, different size with a large "Please Support our
sponsor" text above it). The banner costs 70 Euros (A little less than $90 I
believe) for a full 3 months, and is already paid for about the next 5-6
weeks.
Full stats are available here, although keep in mind they have not been
properly installed during the whole period, so stats for the last couple of
months only are available.

Description:
The site sells a lifetime membership to a members area with links to sites
that provide Football streams, as well as other TV streams.
The streams are maintained for you by a person who does it for the benefit
of having his banner placed at the bottom of the site. You may choose to
stop that and pay that person several dollars a month instead.
The site started out as a forum, and was profitable pretty much from day
one. The owner was charging for a yearly membership to the old forum at
first, so you still get some new business from old forum members who
bought membership for a year ( you can see the inactive forum here http://www.footballstreams.com/ipb/ ). The member database was
never e-mailed directly to join the new footballstreams.com members area,
but rather other sites belonging to the owner.
You get full rights to the inactive forum as well, including the 3,488
registered members (who made 28,956 posts) and later on was converted
to a streams members area through a template the owner purchased on
Ebay (this is not the current design). Around 90% of the forum members
originally paid 1.25 for a normal membership and 5 GBP to upgrade to a
premium membership (around $2.5-$9 USD). This is for a yearly membership
in the forum.
The old forum was basically a place where users discussed football in
general, as well as where to get the best football streams and such.
The current site design is 100% unique and is not a template, the site was
redesigned about 2 weeks ago.
Please feel free to ask for more information if you're a serious bidder. Keep in
mind in any traffic related questions - you have full access to the actual
site stats (not screenshots), so you should be able to work out any traffic
related details
The site itself involves VERY little customer support, mostly just generic
questions once in a while. No maintenance necessary, since it's done for
you.
On top of that, I'm giving away http://www.123streams.com which was a
live forum up until about 2 weeks ago, when it was moved to my hosting
and had an error on it that did not enable posting (I didn't notice it until
about a week after that), which made it a lot less active. That forum hasn't
yet been e-mailed or notified about footballstreams.com , I planned on doing
so and splitting the profits with the owner but didn't get a chance to do it.
Fixed Price: $19,000, or first decent offer I accept.
Google page rank: 3
Thank you for taking the time to read the thread, please let me know if
there is anything else I can do to help
