A URL shortening service with significant potential is up for sale. The platform, offering two domain options, provides users with the choice to select their preferred domain for creating shortened URLs. Developed by an experienced programmer, this custom-built site is well-optimized and handles substantial traffic, with an average of 500,000 redirects daily. It currently has over 2,100 regular users and 106 pro account holders, generating $3,180 in recurring annual revenue. Unique features include Facebook and Twitter logins, comprehensive click tracking, URL masking, and advanced geo-targeting solutions, among others.
The venture is being sold due to the owners' commitment to another successful offline project. The team of two marketers and a programmer initially focused on optimizing site security and user acquisition, but they now lack the time to develop Snip.li further. Originally planning to introduce enterprise accounts and ad network conversions, the team prefers to sell the business to someone with the capacity to expand on their ideas. Included in the sale are three domain names, email credentials, social media accounts, and server access, alongside a detailed handover process through a Skype conference.
Potential revenue streams include expanding ad banner features, promoting premium accounts, and leveraging the high traffic volume for better ad network terms. With current features and strong traffic, the service presents an opportunity for growth in the URL shortening market, allowing the new owner to explore diverse monetization strategies.
