Who wants to take over my web site? It gets 200,000 visitors per month
I started a site many years ago which got popular really quick. I've been neglecting it terribly, the site is around 10 years old, all static HTML, with a cult following. It is in desperate need to be upgraded in design and functionality.
The content on the site is extremely viral, yet I don't take advantage of any social sharing, etc.
Revenue used to be $20k per month plus, with some months reaching $40k per month. Expenses are basically just hosting, which is around $300 per month.
Due to my neglect, traffic has fallen from a high of 1 million visitors per month, down to about 200,000 visitors right now. I only spend about 1-2 hours per week on the site upkeep, and update it only once per week.
The site still does about 4 to 5 million pageviews per month and generates around $5,000 per month - all Adsense revenue.
I have over 130,000 email subscribers who get a weekly update email.
So here's the deal: The site has huge potential, but I've lost the desire to work on it. I have a vision for it, I can see it as plain as day, and I know I can make it as successful as it once was, and even beyond that, but I really don't have the time or desire to make it happen by myself.
I don't want to sell the site because I know it has huge potential. And I don't want to outsource developers and manage them. I don't have the time or energy to oversee this.
So I'm looking for someone who can take the ball and run with it. Someone who is a great coder and loves to learn and test things. Someone who will basically take this site to the next level without me having to oversee everything.
I do have one requirement: This person has to be in the Bay Area, since that's where I live. I think it's important that we have face-to-face meetings as we grow this.
I'm willing to share profits with this person above and beyond what the site is currently making. I think this is a great opportunity for an ambitious hacker.
Let me know whatever questions you have.

- ou 14y agowhats the name of website?
- fortuna 14y agoI'd rather not reveal that here. The site is family friendly. Not adult nature, gambling, etc.
- dennisgorelik 14y agoWhy not reveal if you want to sell it?
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- fortuna 14y agoI'm not interested in selling it. I feel there's a lot of low-hanging fruit in growing the site and it would be stupid to sell it at current valuation.
- dennisgorelik 14y agoWhat are you suggesting then? Are you looking for a co-founder?
- fortuna 14y agoLooking for someone to run and grow the site for share of the profits.
- dennisgorelik 14y agoWhat's your plan of attracting such partner if you are not even willing to share the name of your web site?
- dennisgorelik 14y agoWhat are you going to do after you sell your web site?
- fortuna 14y agoI don't want to sell it. I want to make the site back into a cash cow and I'm willing to share the profits.
- onitica 14y agoLow reputation account. Won't name the site. Questionable e-mail address. Promises a site that supposedly generates 5k a month with almost no work. Looks legit.
- fortuna 14y agoI don't blame you for being skeptical. I probably would be too. But this is a legitimate opportunity. Several people have already emailed me. I'll be meeting with folks face to face, it would be stupid of me to lie about anything here. As proof, I will show prospective partners a front-page Wall Street Journal article that included a link to my site along with a quote from me.
