    How much would you pay for 3000 recurring ACTIVE members?

    I was getting shitty until I bumped into this...

    I found a site who wants to sell with 3,000 active members, site looks great! (went through the whole site and i'm impressed). Hes getting a consistent 50-100 sales a day, hes willing to include all the traffic that comes to it and guarantees it to continue to work with his methods already established.

    Total gross monthly for the site is:
    100k - 140k

    HOW MUCH SHOULD I OFFER?

    and what would a site that big honestly cost?

      I would say that is way under unless he is running from the law or it is a divorce or other fire sale.

        $105k seems to be the popular bid most sponsors would use ($35/signup)

            ask him what price he is looking for and start negotiating. If he's in need of cash, you can get the price down drastically.

                Offer $1,111,111.11

                However, I think that amount of money could be invested in better ways.

                  hmm, where's the traffic coming from? are you sure it's stable? does he have any employees? content (is it exclusive, is any included, can more be produced without too many headaches?)

                  how sustainable is/are the traffic/signups going to be? big risk issues.

                    Do your self a favor. Offer him a percentage with a contract.

                    Some people will come up with some very interesting stats and ways to prove it, and then you get a timex for a rolex price.

                      Depends if the site is branded or not ...

                      with a site not branded at all you can pay 3-5 months of revenu . But for that size it would probably be a lot more

                            You need to know where his traffic is coming from.

                            If the dude's buying gallery spots then obviously you'll need to keep that up once you take it over. Plus how good is the site? How long do you expect those 3,000 active members to be around?

                              If he gets 2000 new members a month (30x66), then 3000 members at any given time aren't much? Makes the traffic flow to the site even more important than it generally is.

                                Exactly what I was thinking. At that signup rate they should have at least 30,000 members if they've been around for any length of time. Sounds to me like they may have thrown a lot into advertising the past month or two to try to get a good sale price.

                                  30,000 active members at 50-100 signups a day? you must be kidding. At very good retention rates expect no more than 6000 active members.

                                      look you have to feel him out, how desperate is he etc.

                                      this is all after you verify that its all legit

                                      Also you might try saying this to him, how much do you want if I can have you the cash within 24 hours, this has gotten me some sick fuckin deals.

                                      Now if the guy aint desperate fuck him it will just be overpriced.

                                      I love dealing with people who need cash now

                                        Yeah according to the Epoch numbers, he's had 3000-3500 consistent members for 2 years now. Which my attorney says is good news, the honest price for a site like that is 1 million but I'm going to take everyones advice and offer 500,000$

                                        Hopefully I can get it cheap, the guy is legit I talked to his processor and people they work with.

                                          He dosent want the cash immediately, but hes looking to sell so I'm trying to work something out, I dont think the site is overpriced.

                                                    expect to pay 18 times the net income.

                                                      I'll take care of that obviously when I buy it, the net income is worth it.

                                                      Retention looks good, conversions are at 50-60%, and they will include all traffic setups to make 50 sales a day at least as soon as the sale is done.

                                                      I checked up on all this already, everything checks out great.

                                                          Glad to see someone being realistic here.

                                                          Most sites aren't going to retain members much past 35 days on average, especially if they have jaded surfers who've seen it all. Some of the amateur sites or reality sites, and I mean a slim some, might do better on average but with the number of daily sales this site is doing I wouldn't expect it.

                                                          Also, are the initial sales on trials or are they full monthly?

                                                          The next question to address is whether or not the processing can transfer to you and what happens when it does. If the sale would require changing the descriptor that the members see, you can immediately figure you're going to lose a large portion of members when they see the difference in the billing on their cc statements.

                                                          And last but not least, does this site have 2257 that will be compliant with the new regulations? If not, I wouldn't consider touching it for 25% of what it makes each month, much less a year, since finding the records and getting them into compliance will cost a fortune.

                                                            They have free 1 day trials and full monthly memberships as well. The descriptor wouldn't change its under a DBA name that would be included with the site. Even if the retention goes down they have proven with the Epoch stats that they can retain the 3k members for over 2 years now.

                                                            Do you have a link to get information on the new 2257 compliance regulations?

                                                            I'd like to check that out, thats about the last thing I haven't checked up on.

This I am sure of.
