I see a couple people in this thread are looking to collaborate on projects and I think that's awesome!  I would love to do this as well at some point.  I'm out of extra bandwidth in the short term, but may check back here in a month or two to see who's still looking.

 

That said, for everyone in this thread serious about finding a partner, it may be helpful if people shout out how they would like to contribute within a partnership.....if enough people respond we could even turn this into something more organized like a "Looking for Partners" google doc.

 

For example, each person could post something like this:

 

These types of projects interest me:

  • Buying a niche site with 10k visitors per month
  • Creating a niche site from scratch
  • Areas of interest (Personal finance, blogging tips, sports, poker, self-help, etc.)

What I would contribute:

  • Seed money
  • Coordination of business aspects (advertisers, staff writers, domain, hosting, etc)
  • Theme layout and design
  • Technical chops

What I look for in a partner:

  • Main writer
  • keyword research, SEO expertise, experience with CPC
  • Partial monetary contribution (skin in the game)
  • Post promotion and backlinking

Once a couple people post their partnership interests and find matches, I suggest you get on the phone and interview each other.  Finding a partner is kinda like dating, not everyone is a match, so don't feel like you have to marry everyone you talk to.

Very helpful info. Thanks for taking the time to write it out for us.

My ADD brain will work well having many sites to manage rather than just one. I tend to want to jump around anyway, so I think it would work well for my productivity.

I got lucky buying the site I bought.  The person selling it tweeted about it and I was one of the few who responded. There would probably be lots of people responding now.

I'm still in the buying business but only for site with 10,000 visits/month or more. If you are interested in selling and you are at that level, give ma a shout ;-)

 

Good job Evan, Daniel, Crystal & Jesse on building your empire ;-)

Crystal and Jesse have a good thing going!  They have definitely built up overly successful sites, so expanding is a good thing.  I could never do this on my own, but I have a friend who is getting involved with me, so money and content isn't an issue at all...I have a harder time keeping up my own blog since it's my baby, and so far i have been the only writer.

I couldn't have done this on my own either.  I have the cash but not the time.  Jesse had the time but appreciated help with funding and finding advertisers.  So this worked out great.  We try to buy quality sites and continue the themes with staff writers and occasional writing from Jesse too.

I too am up for joint ventures.

I'm not really interested in a second 'personal' finance blog but a joint venture would be a cool thing, so if anybody's looking to go halfsies (or thirdsies *lol*) keep me in mind!

If you haven't already, check out flippa.com

i've just started looking at this site.  Right now I have no idea what's a good deal or not but it's interesting to see some of the history. 

How do you judge whether a site is worth going after?

Other than buying yakezie sites, where do you typically look for sites to purchase?

If you haven't already, check out flippa.com
