Selling a Bespoke Website

[Jemima]

I am looking into selling one of my websites it is a fully functional dating website business that is bespoke with a unique concept, domain name and was designed by myself. Can anyone give me advice please on where to advertise.

Definitely not the kind of website to advertise on a business forum. I presume you are about to get shot down quicket than anything I have ever seen.

If this is the website on your profile...... err....seriously?


"I am a Gold Digger Boy looking for a Wealthy Lady"

Any offers?! ;)

I dont know about the rest of the forum members, but the "niche" of your website is a unique one for a reason; its ridiculous.

I was recommended this website by a business collegue suggesting 'useful advice' would be given.... it seems I chose the wrong day to post a question

Nope. This is a very helpful forum full of fantastic advice about how to make and promote a successful business. This in turn will lead to. . . successful businessmen/women. Money plus goldiggers = unhappy people.

See where im coming from?

Jemima,
This forum is one of the best available :) Loads of helpful, friendly people who give a wealth of advice!


I apologize for my post, but have you searched into "this niche market" long enough / properly? It just seems so... "out there"... On par with DWP's ideas.

However - I showed my partner, she said

Surely people aren't going to 'admit being a golddigger'?... people won't openly admit they are looking for a golddigger? Where's their pride and dignity?

^^^^ Exactly why I think it's a silly idea... if you manage to sell the site - then Thumbs up! (Try the american forums!! No disrespect to them, but they have some crazy ideas! :D)

Plenty of people without pride and dignity.

Plus, each to their own, and it cuts to the chase. There are many rich older men with younger 'trophy' wives. Dont want to knock true love at all, but I bet both people in the that situation 'know the score' of their relationship.

Have you looked at sedo.com? They broker domains and websites.

Voice of dissent here. Nothing really wrong with the idea, but it needs to be camouflaged, and not just a little. Golddiggers is just too blatant. My guess is that the men and women who might make use of a site like that would like at least the pretence that it's something other than what it is.

Out of interest you have managed to attract an awful lot of customers to your website? I am intrigued to know how you got them to sign up or be affiliated with such a website.

Hi Jemima,

Apologies for the unhelpful nature of some posts on here, I really did think it would be a good place to get some professional advice on selling your site, which had generated interest and membership when you concentrated marketing on it.

As suggested by the previous poster (and as I mentioned yesterday) broker sites such as Sedo would be a good place to look.

You'd be suprised but there are a few sites like Jemimas such as SugaDaddi etc.

The concept of the site as in the type of people visiting it might be pretty pathetic but there are people out there who use them!

I'd bet any money on it there are plenty of young girls out there who don't want to work and would rather their rich other half to pay their way (it's the WAG culture)

[Jemima]

Thanks Simon yes its suprising how much time people have to waste with useless comments instead of focusing on the actual point of my posting!

[Jemima]

At last a decent reply! Thank you for the advice and for making good use of your time....
