VideoPokerJunkie.com for sale

[VPJunkie]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to failing health, I've decided to sell VideoPokerJunkie(.com) I know it's a horrible time to sell, but I'm not in a real rush and will entertain offers.

In its "heyday", it was cranking $20K+/month, but I haven't really worked on it for a few years now. It was still limping along until QT pulled out of the market, which pretty much destroyed its income.

I will transfer most of the aff accounts with the sale, so when the US gets its head out its ass, it may take off again.

Payment will have to be made to PayPal or PaySpark (can we do transfers there?).

Let me know any questions you have. You can contact me at slycin56-at-videopokerjunkie.com or PM me here.

(This board won't let me post links until I've posted a few times, sorry)

I've gotten a couple of questions, so I'm going to answer them here.

1. How much do I want for it? Honestly, I have no idea what it's worth right now. I barely keep up with the news in this industry these days, so I don't know what websites are doing.

2. How much is it making right now? Since QT went down, it's only managed to make a few hundred a month, and that includes my CasinoRewards acct, which I'm not transferring with the sale. For the months prior to that, when I was trying to work it a little, it was doing $1-3K/month.

As I said, I haven't been able to work it very much for the last several years. VPJunkie has a customer base, tho (but no mailing list), so I feel that with a little updating and getting the newest casinos posted, that it would do better.

VPJunkie has always had a fairly good conversion rate with extremely little overhead - as in under $200 a month, even when I was buying traffic.

I have not courted the Euro market as I should have. I have not gotten new casinos up as I should have.

I believe it still has the potential to make a good income if someone puts the time into it that it needs.

I really kind of hate to let it go, but my health is terminal, so it's just easier to get it sold now, rather than leave it to my family to handle.

I will need to keep my email addy there, indefinitely.

Hi Cindy,

Bernie here from old days at GPWA. I am sorry to hear about your health. I wanted to take the time to say anything I might have bumped with you on in the early days I am sorry if I ever made you feel badly. I hope that you are doing as best as you can and wanted to offer that. Good luck with the sale!

Bernie

Thanks for the thoughts & wishes, Bernie.

Seems like I can't PM you (too few posts).

However, I'm interested but need some more info and statistics regarding traffic. Some more details of income would also be very good.

Also, are there any offers for the site yet?

Hi Lobtec,
Traffic sucks big time right now. I should note, tho, that VPJunkie never was a big traffic generator, but had better conversion rates than average.

There are no offers yet, but a lot of interest. VPJunkie, as I have, has been online for 11 yrs in November, and at one time was #1 in Goog for "video poker" for 2 years, and was a premier video poker site. It had a huge reputation and following at one time, but I let it go as my health declined.

I'm doing more research on pricing for it, but there are several levels to be considered when looking at VPJ, and I may get an appraisal for it.

Hi Cindy,

I'm sorry to hear about your health also. Take care of yourself. This industry has had enough bad news over the last couple of years.

I haven't seen you since Mohegan Sun. You were always a strong positive voice for SciFi Casino when I was there and I will never forget that. VPJunkie belongs in the affiliate hall of fame.

Take care

Hi Scott,

What a sweet & cool thought - VPJ in an affiliate hall of fame - Thank you!

Yes, SciFi was one of my fav's, both as a player and an affiliate. It's been a long time since then.....

I wish you the best at Superior Share!!

Sorry I haven’t been here for a few weeks, but being sick is quite time consuming & tiring!

So…. I’ve finally arrived at a sales price of $12,000.

eBizvaluations-dot-com valued VideoPokerJunkie at $24,860, and that was with a higher overhead than I actually have. I’m unable to post links here yet, but I can email a link if anyone wants to see the valuation.

If I use the 12 months of current income method, it would actually price out above the $12K (based on YTD income), so I feel like I’m being more than fair using the absolute current rate of income. (It made about $1200 this month, but I haven’t checked all my stats yet.)

- VPJ’s current income is an avg of $1000/month. The first quarter of this year it was making $2500 - $4500/month. (However, I’m taking 2 of the most consistently producing accounts. I have 2 Casino Rewards accts, and I will be taking the more productive of the 2. I will also be taking INetBet & Fortune Affiliates with me, altho FA hasn’t made any money in a long time, so is not included in any current income figures.)

- Current overhead is $25/mo. for hosting, and that’s it. I might buy another $25-$50 in traffic, but not every month.

- Domain renewal is due in Nov/Dec. If I haven’t sold it by then, I’ll be renewing it for 10 years.

- VPJ is a well established site at 11 yrs. old. This is not a young site with no real history of success. VPJ has produced income every month since its 3rd month of existence, with a low of $300 (twice) and a high above $30K. For many years, before US interference, it made low – mid 5 figures monthly.

- Comes with all affiliate accts (except for the 3) & existing customer base.
--- I have active customers at some of my casinos that have been there over 5 years;
--- I have customers that still write me once in a while that have been with me 7-8 years; I’m pretty sure they’ll be there when new casinos get added.

- It has some existing link sales on the front page.

- Traffic stats are very poor. I have not worked to keep it well ranked in Google (or any other SE) in over 6 years. Its rankings could probably be improved very easily. I can’t post links, but for those who are really concerned about traffic, I can give you access to the stats. I must add, tho, that anyone who is really focusing on the traffic stats is not seeing the big picture with VPJ.

- VPJ has always had higher than avg conversion rates, and I will pass on what I feel are my marketing tips/secrets to the new buyer.

- VPJ is done in FrontPage. Although its marketing concepts are still effective, it’s a technical dinosaur and definitely needs an over haul at this point.

- It has no mailing list and no link exchange pages. I dumped both of those several years ago. I was really tired of the stupid link exchange game that Goog tries to force on all of us, but I was wrong to dump my mailing list. It had worked well for me.

- It has a Twitter acct. I think I only have a couple of people who have signed up, but if the buyer wants @VideoPkrJunkie, he/she can have it.

- I am very confident that with updating & adding the newest casinos, it will produce income regularly for you. When the US comes back online with gambling, or another good ewallet opens up, the income will definitely go uphill.


Payment must be made to PayPal or my bank account. I’ll be posting this at other affiliate sites, also, and will probably list it for sale at one of sites that sell websites, like Flippa. You can post questions here, or PM me.

Thank you for your time.
