Note for board admins- This is my first post and I tried to follow all the rules of sticky. If I broke any rule by mistake, please let me know and I will correct it.
Name - Nitin Tripathi
URL of the site - http://www.realdebit.com
Age of the site - 2 year ( but more active since last 1 year)
Revenue - $1500 per month at peak time, $200 - $ 500 at dull time [I did direct business of $7000 in last 7-8 months] Gross and net revenue is almost same except ebay/paypal/hosting fee.
Traffic - Not sure, but last time I counted it was like 100 users daily. In this type of site what really matters is how many users buy your product.
About the site - During last July - August I lost my job, so I put some effort in developing readymade scripts. Right now I have 4 scripts that I sell from RealDebit.com Along with the script comes optional installation services. I was also providing web hosting through my reseller account, because people who buy the script and installation most of the time they prefer to get web hosting from you too. However as you can understand hosting through reseller account was not a good option, so I closed that revenue model. But if you can offer web hosting, you will get some real good extra bucks monthly. So far I haven't spend a single penny in advertising. 70% scripts I sell from ebay, 30% of the people come directly to my web-site. Since last Septemeber I have sold close to 150 scripts ( I have proof of 50+) sites, where I did the installation, remaining just bought the scripts. You can go to ebay and search for feedback of gmich1234. Out of my feedback of 71, at least 50 feedback is from script selling. If required I can provide you the proof of money, though in my opinion money proof can be forged so shouldn't be relied upon. Go to ebay, reverse engineer my feedback, go to google search for realdebit - you will see couple of sites that still point back to realdebit.com (Script Powered By realdebit.com) Most of them simply remove this as soon as they buy the script.
Reason of selling the site - So if I am generating so much of revenue, why I am selling the site. Couple of reasons. Very first a couple of people who bought the scripts and liked the scripts had given me some development work which keeps me all busy. Second we are expecting a family this week, so now for some time I won't get assistance from the only other member of my company:) as well as I will get busy. Remember this is a very demanding and challenging job to own such type of scripts. You will see buyers who will buy the script but they don't know anything about internet. You will see buyers who will ask you to customize it to suit Australian currency. It is not one of content sites where you can afford not to change contents for 2-3 weeks if you ain't feeling good. :) Then this is the dull time of the year, also I do not prefer to overflow the market. So I sell the scripts more actively for 1 month, then sleep for 2 months. BTW even when I do no efforts, still I get on average 1 buyer per week. Most importantly using these scripts I developed sites for myself as well 9chef eating his own food). These sites are doing good, so I don't feel like selling scripts to anyone as it will increase the competition for me:)
Asking price: $5000
Email address: nitin@realdebit.com
Please do not hesitate to ask me anything. I have so much in mind that I want to write to be fair with you people, however it won't look good if in first post itself I write about marketing plans.
Decision Date: 6 May or even before
