Description
Introduction
PSP-Vault.com is a fansite for the Sony PSP, or "Playstation Portable". I launched the site in February 2005, about a month before the launch of the PSP itself in North America.
Since launch, PSP-Vault has seen enormous success and is now an authoritative resource for PSP fans. The site boasts over 60,000 members, and adds around 150 per day. There are over 89,000 posts on the PSP-Vault forums. Members are strongly encouraged to contribute to the site, and they do so; members regularly submit news articles to be posted to the front page and files to be posted in our repository of PSP-related files, the "File Vault". It is a very active community.
PSP-Vault's continued growth has been the result of strategic positioning, word-of-mouth, and offering unique content and features to PSP users. Some of our flagship content includes the Firmware and Homebrew Capabilities Guide, which has over 81,000 reads in the past 3 months alone. Additional popular items can be found in the site's
Top List. As you can see, the most read article on the site is the "Stuck Pixel Fixer", with over 760,000 reads. When the site launched, our premier feature was providing a "File Vault" that allows users to exchange PSP game saves.
While other PSP sites focus solely on volume - posting "news" articles for even the most minor developments, essentially spamming visitors - PSP-Vault has focused on effectively leveraging properly timed and informative content. This blend of insight and information has made PSP-Vault amongst the most well-known PSP fansites, even amongst traditional publications; the site was featured as the "Fansite of the month" in the January 2007 issue of Gamesmaster, a major UK gaming magazine. The site has also been mentioned by name in PSM and GameInformer magazines.
But I don't need to go into PSP-Vault's accolades too much here: a quick search on virtually any major search engine will return numerous places PSP-Vault has been mentioned, linked to, or heralded.
Time Commitment
As you may have gathered from the previous section, there's no reason to try and paint a rosy picture: upkeep of a community site such as PSP-Vault is a lot of work. This is not a get rich quick scheme, nor is it a turn-key site whose revenue streams are based on monetizing ill-obtained RSS content feeds. Those who are interested in purchasing a "set it and forget it" site or passive income should look at other auctions. PSP-Vault is a
real community website with
real users who demand
real content, so real work must be done to ensure its continued success.
That said, the rewards, financial and otherwise, are certainly available for those willing to make the necessary sacrifices.
Included with sale
In addition to the site itself, you'll receive:
-Source files for logos, page templates, and so on (these could be snail-mailed on a DVD, if you prefer -- there are a lot of files)
-My directory of project outlines, may give you some good ideas for growth in the future
