    thinking of selling my translation bizness

    as i have new ventures i'm working on at the moment , i don't have enough time to manage my translation bizness.

    i was thinking of selling the bizness , wich includes the domain names ( xtranslate.com and sitetranslators.com ) the customers base , the translators base etc ...

    the bizness is doing quite good but is too time consuming at the moment enven thought i don't do the french translations myself anymore.

    any party interested just ICQ me 752-51-91 to see what we could work out.

    i'd really like to be able to keep going with it and implement stuff like geo targetting , but as previously said i have so many things i'm working on at the moment that i cannot keep it up.

    of course i will carry out the current translations , but once they are finished , the biz would be all yours.

    cheers

        hiring a bizness manager implies that i have to explain everything again and again to make sure he does it the right way, unfortunately i have no time for it .

        my partner medusa was doing a pretty good job but unfortunately she has to go out of the biz for personal reasons.

        ideally the buyer would be an established translation company who knows what the job is. since i openned xtranslate there is at least 4 or 5 copycats who popped out of nowhere, so they might be interested in profiting of the name xtranslate.com and its branding impact on customers.

        also the customer base is full of returning customers who open new sites every couple months and use xtranslate.com to translate them into 4-5 languages.

                    so you want to sell your site to an existing translation company right err.. why would they buy it?

                    surely your site not taking on any more work or being closed down completely will benefit them anyway without them having to spend money on buying you out lol

                    the way i figure it by posting this here you have not only told your competitors that they no longer have to worry about you but any potential clients you may have received will also be looking for alternative companies too
                    the hun gets revenue from pre-paid gallery placements on the top 15 spaces and banners.
                    the rest of thegalleries are free placements.

                      Hiya!

                      Got an idea what you want to sell this operation for?

                      I used to have a good translation shop I was dealing with, but the owner, (one HOT looking strawberry blonde lassie) got homesick for Russia and went back. Broke my heart twice with the prices she was offering and not seeing her again.

                      ICQ me...
