Business Directory Description Model:  

Our Business Directory model is based upon social interacting and submitting business and reviewing businesses.

You can simply register and add your business yourself, and have it listed under the category of your choice.

The way it works is you as a business / website owner can submit Free for 1 month or Pay for 1 year either in color listing (Logo and photo included) which is $300, or Basic listing which is $200.  

Us (Globe Search) as the Administrators are then left with a databases of businesses to contact back after 1 month for the ones that submitted for free to ask them if they were successful from having their business added.

If successful our sales people can persuade them quite easily to advertise with us. (Infact this system we have in place together with the amount of submissions we get daily could be making hundreds of thousand dollars globally. You just have to model the payment system with a suitable merchant facility which we have not yet done successfully.)

The business owner / website submitter can monitor their success by checking the email that was refered by the directory and monitor the number of hits that they can view beside their ad, and also check reviews they have had besides their ad. They can check this all in their admin upon login.  

The Internet user finds the directory very useful as they can review businesses, check other reviews, they can also click on a business planner beside the business so that they can plan their appointment, stay or holiday by setting a date and contact more than the one business at once making it easier asking the same question to all businesses in a particular category.   

This system works much more effictively for the business owner and more importantly the user as they may get emailed back with a cheaper rate from more than one business responding or better appointment time etc.  

Our business directory which target the quality business and has gathered global presence has escalated amazing heights and has been found to be one of the most unique types of social business directories around.  

We have previously been viewed on TV in the Thai Boxing arena's across Asia sponsorship advertising, Magazine publicity in Shakers and Movers, Inbound Magazine and most importantly all over the place online.

Technical Features;
1. Search Business Feature
2. Register Feature
3. Review Feature
4. Add Business Feature
5. Visit Hit Counter
6. Admin feature for Administrator
6. Admin feature for User or Business owner

Because both the Business Directory model has helped our global presence and made it more valuable when selling SEO packages from our SEO2webdesign.com division we believe that both these business and domains and websites should be sold as a whole package.   The following sale will be as follows:

    Hello,

    Please post or PM traffic/revenue details.
    Does running the network requires US presence, toll-free phone numbers, etc..?

    Cheers,

    I have had an overwhelming amount of interest in the sale of my company, so because of this, I have also wanted to narrow the questions down to make it easier for all. I have included some extra information below;

    Where is your business located?
    Our business is primarily based in Bangkok, but it can be based anywhere in the world, that is the beauty about an online business such as this.

    What are the office hours?
    The hours spent on running this business is Monday - Friday 11am-8pm for
    myself and my programmer and data entry / link builder. The other staff
    start at 8.30 am-5.30pm

    How many employees are currently running the business?
    1 programmer, 1 link builder / data entry, 1 manager with knowledge of SEO and Web Design (myself), 1 admin, 1 receptionist and 2 sales staff. If you want you can really do without a receptionist and an admin and sales staff. It's really just a luxury to have but also more like an investment/expense.

    Do we need an office to run this business?
    It's more like a luxury to have an office, again with most internet businesses these days you can work from home, but it's how far you will take it. From experience, it is much easier to win a client by meeting them in your office.

    When was the business established.
    The website business was established in August 2005. We formed the company early 2008.

    What forms of income verification do you currently have?
    We have a revenue details sheet, which goes up to 8 months ago, and bank statements that go as far back as around the website business starting in December 2005. If you need to know more on the revenue side, I will need serious interest including name and position title from where you are enquiring from?

    If there are employees currently running the website business can the management stay in place and continue to run the business if the new owner chooses to keep them on a staff?
    No. I am currently management and need to seperate myself from this business now to focus on our other company.

    How does the business make its income? Purely makes income from the SEO, Online Marketing and Web Design, a little bit from online advertising.

    What are the expenses and profits of running the business monthly?
    The monthly profit without taking into consideration the office rent and wages for myself being the highest , would be close to around $15,000 per month, bear in mind this is our only main expense apart from electricity and phone bills and server costs which is $170 per month.

    Are there any special licenses, permits, etc needed to run the business? It depends. If you decide to keep our company name, than yes, we can get our legal representitive to transfer all the bank and company name to you.

    Can I have this business on autopilot?
    You surely can infact it already is. On the business directory side england-search.com, thailand-search.com etc. only needs around 4 hours a week to check and review listings and approve listings.

    With the other side of the business such as SEO and Web Design, it depends, if you really want to you can outsource this kind of work, or do it inhouse or if you get overloaded send some jobs such as link building etc you can send it out.

    Hello

    I am reading http://www.pay4advertising.com/corporate_package.htm and I see a link "Link building" that leads to http://www.pay4advertising.com/corporate_package.htm and others like http://www.thailand-search.com/

    Are you selling the adjacent sites included as a bulk package or not ?

    Hi Barbulescu,

    Yes we are selling all our sites as a bulk package.

    Normally we give a package deal for clients that want SEO or Web Development.

    We can also offer them complimentary listing in a directory of their country they choose for the 1st year. It's really an enticer more than anything.

    Than after the 1st year we get them to re-advertise with us again in the directory of their choice.
