Established MakeOutSongs.com & BikerLighters.com

[mikelbeck]

I've got two sites that I'm looking to sell.

This site is almost completed... I just haven't had the time to finish it:

www.MakeOutSongs.com

The plan was to build a site that allowed users to search for songs related to a particular mood, such as romantic songs, wedding songs, etc. And once they've located a song they're interested in, find where to purchase the song. Right now it's hooked up with Amazon, it will search through the Amazon catalog (using the AWS interface) and locate the album that a particular song or artist appears on. The Amazon interface has hooks into the Amazon affiliate program as well, so if a user purchased an album they've found through the site, I would get a portion of the sale from Amazon.

Registered users can rate and leave comments about songs and artists, and can suggest new artists, songs or categories to be included in the index.

There is a phpBB forum along with it, and the user administration is handled by phpBB. The front end is a custom script I wrote in PHP (in the phpBB "style").

All of what I've outlined above has already been completed, there were a few other items that I wanted to complete before launching the site, but I just haven't had time to get back to it.

Once it's done, and submitted to search engines this site should take off!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm thinking about unloading this site:

www.BikerLighters.com

It's a Zippo sales site using osCommerce, geared towards Harley-Davidson Zippo lighters. I'm almost done with it, I'm waiting on an artist to finish up the logo for the top bar.

This also includes a custom script I wrote that pulls the Zippo data out of the supplier's spreadsheet and formats it for EasyPopulate to automatically update the database.

PM me or reply in this thread of you're interested in either of these sites.

Around what price do you want for the song site?

I was hoping to get around $125-$150 for it.

Is the script all written by you? Is that easy to manage?

Yes, I wrote the front end of it. You would have 100% ownership of this script, I would not use it anywhere else. So this site would be 100% unique. The back end (the user management, session management, etc) is all from phpBB.

As for management - aside from the normal phpBB management, there is no management specifically for the front-end.

What is the commissin for selling songs through your site?

It depends on the item, but it's anywhere from 6% to 10%.

How does the site got PR2 if it has not launched?

There's a bunch of sites that link to it, and I link to it from some of my other sites (mostly PR3). Google and the other big search engines has it indexed

Sorry for many question, but I am interested to run a music site

That's quite alright!

There were still a few more things I wanted to do to the site but just haven't had the time:

- Add more Amazon integration, so the user could add an item to their Amazon cart right through the site without having to go to Amazon.
- Add an admin option to manage songs/artists/categories.
- Add search links to other affiliate sites, such as AllPosters, eBay, iTunes.

Let me know if you're interested.

 

[danieloffice]

thanks. Price is reasonable. But I may not have the time to develop the script.
