Zantarni is a social avatar building website that’s just been put up for sale in the sitepoint premium section. Upon registration users can customize a little pixel charecter based on a number of different factors, the site makes money by selling virtual items in an online store.

With revenue as high as $11,000 in one month this business model is obviously working. Last month the site made $3,500.

To sum it up, zantarni is an online game/community with avatars. We have pixelated avatars which users use to customise their own look at this is used without the site. We then sell items for users to purchase, and that is our main revenue model. All the pixel art on the website is custom, and is done by the freelance pixel artists.

We currently do no marketing on the website. We have dabbled in google adwords in the past, and it has helped improve revenue (was part of the highest revenue months) however i have had no time for it lately. If the buyer advertises the site more, it could easily be more profitable.

Fairly simple to run
One of the main parts of the site is the forum which is run on phpbb software. If you keep the community happy, you have half the job. I can then refer you to my programmers - who you will simply have to guide and think of new features/events with them.

With a starting bid of $50,000 this site is for serious bidders only.

Picture rating social networking website rateaface has just been posted up for sale on sitepoint. The site boasts a custom coded backend and over 12,000 members.

RateAFace is a teenage networking website, based around rating people and gaining a position in the overall ranks, this format has proved to be incredibly addictive for users. The system has been fully built from scratch and is based around php, mysql and ajax. The site has been established for around 4 years, and was experiencing a large amount of traffic in 2006 (over 90,000 page views a day). Since then, the site has undergone a complete re-design and re-code. Since these new changes have been in place, we have done very minimal steps to promote it. The site has never been promoted through direct paid advertising; all popularity has been generated virally. In 2006, RateAFace sponsored a sold out clubbing event (hosted by Futureglow). RateAFace banners were on display at the event and the RateAFace logo was featured on 10,000 flyers. We then featured the promoted the night on the website as a “featured event” in return for the sponsorship.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone to grab hold of this business and make what it should be. There’s no dodgy sale or things we’re trying to hide (after looking over a lot of the For Sale posts here it seems people are)… I’m travelling Australia for several months so it has made me pass the website on.

This one looks a little neglected but to the right owner who can invest a bit of time and money into the site it could take off again. Worth checking out if social networking is your thing anyway.

This quirky little blog has just been posted up for sale on sitepoint. The blog is packed full of unique content and has a large reader base (over 900 rss subscribers). DailyBits has also been featured on the digg homepage a number of times.

I started this blog in November 2007, and managed to make it grow quite fast over this 3-4 months.

Currently the site has around 950 RSS subscribers,it has been on the front page of Digg 3 times, and it also got heavy activity from StumbleUpon and del.icio.us.

Yahoo counters around 13,000 backlinks to the site.

The revenue comes from direct advertisers only. The only problem is the advertisers pay a single price to advertise on my 3 blogs (dailybits.com comprised), so it would be difficult to know the real value for the site alone.

My 3 sites sum $2,500 monthly in direct advertising, and DailyBits makes 35% of the total uniques/page views. I would estimate, therefore, that it could easily make from $500 to $800 monthly in direct advertising.

You could also try adding Adsense and other monetization methods. I never tried them cause I don’t have time.

If someone has the time to dedicate to keeping this site backed full of interesting content it looks like it would be a worthwhile investment.
