For Sale: TekSocial

Back in July 2010, TekSocial was born. Since then, it has grown to form a community consisting of over 500 registered writers and 4,000+ articles. To this very day, the website still receives close to 1,000 page impressions on a daily basis. While traffic isn't exactly poor, I would like to see TekSocial become something much larger. Unfortunately, I don't have the time and focus required to make that happen.

Getting to the point, I have decided to put TekSocial up for sale. It is a strong brand that deserves more attention, thus possibly expanding its lifespan for years to come. Of course, I am only willing to sell the website and its contents to someone who is legitimately interested. This is a serious acquisition. While pricing is negotiable, I prefer to sell everything for a reasonable amount.

If you are interested in purchasing TekSocial, below is a handful of notes worth reading: 

  • Buyer will acquire ownership of all content, including 900+ TekSocial Gallery uploads
  • Website is fully hosted via Squarespace
  • Next Squarespace bill does not occur until March 12, 2013
  • Domain name is hosted via Go Daddy, but can be transferred to any registrar
  • Website login credentials will be handed over to the buyer
  • Buyer will have complete control over the website after purchase
  • If requested, the buyer will acquire ownership of TekSocial Video on YouTube
  • Login credentials for the @TekSocial Twitter account will be handed over to the buyer

In a nutshell, the buyer will immediately gain access to TekSocial and all of its contents — except for the contact forms. These will need to be provided by the buyer. The current contact forms will be disabled once the acquisition is complete.

The following are two screenshots of TekSocial's traffic details (click to enlarge):

Google PageRank: 4/10 

If done right, TekSocial could finally become quite big. That is something I really want to see happen.

For serious inquiries regarding the acquisition of TekSocial, please contact me here. The final sale will go to the buyer with the best offer. Details will be discussed via email. Payment via PayPal is preferred.

I hope TekSocial will become bigger than it already is. Any bids received so far?

David,

This is a sad day for all of your followers. I'm sure I'm talking for everyone when I say that we all love the community technology blog. For many bloggers/YouTubers, TekSocial was their starting point to branch off into the world of content creating. It was fun while it lasted, now it's time to move onto bigger and better. Hopefully the "TekSocial" brand will live on forever. If you're going to bid on such a huge site, please make the site bigger and better! Don't let it become a landing page!

Regards,
Steven Johnson
