A once-thriving online platform dedicated to MySpace band voting is now looking to sell its membership base and associated domain. The current owners have shifted their focus to another business venture and no longer have the resources to manage the site effectively. They believe that in the appropriate hands, the site has significant earning potential, previously generating substantial revenue through advertising. Currently neglected, the owners aim to sell the member list to someone in a similar band promotion niche.
The domain is well-established with over 20,000 links, thanks to numerous MySpace awards. It boasts approximately 20,000 members, including bands and fans predominantly aged 18-35 and primarily based in the USA. Additionally, the platform has a MySpace profile with 5,000 bands and fans. The current owners have invested significant capital in SEO and marketing, and they are offering the website along with its valuable member base for a fraction of the cost, to prevent their efforts from going to waste.
The platform primarily generated revenue through Google Ads, earning up to $1,200 in its peak month, although monthly earnings fluctuated significantly. Despite interest in exploring other ad networks for potentially increased revenue, time constraints have prevented these trials. Initially, the site attracted up to 90,000 unique visitors daily, but following a necessary server migration, the active user base is now around 20,000. This user group is highly active and passionate about music, making them ideal for potential buyers with a focus on band or music promotion sites.
