Selling highly modified clipshare site

TommyLee · 09-20-2007, 02:18 PM

Hey Everybody

Im selling my highly modded ClipShare script, domain and license. I brought the script as an experiment and later purchased the domain off of Chris.

The domain is highly brandable & desirable - www.Spiked.us . I've had numerous offers for this domain name but declined to sell as i wanted to sell the domain + site as a package.

The license is a PRO license and was purchased 4 months ago - it still has 8 months remaining for PRO upgrades / updates. The license was purchased for $200 (thats how much it costs). A new clipshare version is releasing soon with tons more features and you will be able to claim this for free.

The script as you can see is a modded version of 'The Darkside Template'. It has free upgrades attached to it which you can claim when then new Clipshare v3.0 releases in a couple of weeks. It boasts alot of features, the main one being The Youtube Indexer. This is a highly sort after mod which lets users submit a youtube video URL which gets indexed in our system and the video gets played through our flv player! This is an amazing mod which will boost your site traffic ALOT. I purchased the mod for $300.

Demo can be seen of this here:
www.spiked.us/mashup
NOTE: IM NOT SELLING THAT SEPARATELY

Another mod is the show referrers mod, this shows what sites link into the video at the bottom of the page (includes google search URL's)

I also have the adult verification mod but never got around to installing it due to no time, this means you can upload adult videos which asks for confirmation and displays an '18+' thumbnail for the video. This mod will be included in the sale if you want it.

The site is hosted on a dedicated box which costs $90 from a highly reputable company - gnax.net. It comes with 120gb HD and 2000gb Bandwidth 1gb ram. I've recently renewed this so you will have 28 days free of hosting.

You're probably wondering why im selling it? I dont have time anymore, you can tell the site has been neglected since i started full time work - I literally have 0 time. It used to get around 900 hits a day when i updated it regularly, now it has slumped to 120.

Here's the latest traff stats:

www.spiked.us/spikedTRAF.JPG

I never advertised the site, traffic came mainly from advertising on youtube vids, and word of mouth that spread on forums because some of the videos are unique and caused quite a stir.

Before i moved hosts the site was making $10 a day through google ads (sorry i dont have proof you'll just have to take my word) it now makes around $2 a day.

I would suggest you start the site from scratch using a different theme, maybe humerous videos?

It also has an invite mod, which allows users to type in their hotmail / gmail / yahoo address and it will send an email to everyone in their contact list / address book. This works perfectly (I tested it yesterday).

Im looking for around $700 for the site, room for negotiation though.

Enjoy

Spiked.us was totally different before i took it off Chris, like i stated above. It's been revamped and highly modded.

TommyLee · 09-20-2007, 08:03 PM

I've put the price down to $600 for a quick buy it now price.

Anybody offers $600 it's yours

TommyLee · 09-23-2007, 12:43 PM

Still no interest, ok final BIN price is $500. (Im now at a loss of $500)

Nobody buys it for that much then im going to keep it and redevelop.

good idea!

I would keep it if I were you and modify it for a niche market... That's the only way you can have it running and at least cover the costs of maintenance... I would buy it if I had the money, but I don't so I'll be developping my next tube from scratch.... It will cost me time, but I'm out of money right now! ;-)
