Why I Am Selling Insider Travels
Why would anyone try to auction a perfectly usable set of premium domain names before developing the website to go with them?
The answer is simple, really. My attention span is short, and right now my focus is divided. I need the cash to invest in my main project, which I will never sell because it is attached to my primary identity (the real me). I was going to try to do both at once, but sadly, it’s just not happening the way I would like.
As with any entrepreneur, not only do I need to jump around a lot to keep from stagnating and falling into the crippling grip of inertia, but cash flow is usually a persistent problem at the outset.
This is especially true for me, since I started learning this stuff at a very young age and doing it all by myself. But I had to seek out the knowledge alone because I come from a non-entrepreneurial, working-class background and had trouble finding the right people to help me shorten the curve. It has made it more challenging for me to find my feet, at least financially.
I know this can be a great website. Unfortunately, I only have so many hands and I am incapable of allowing myself to release something less than spectacular simply for the sake of immediacy. It’s one of the more aggravating constraints I face in everything I do.
I will make no excuses except to say that I am constantly battling the perfectionist in me, and I can fully appreciate how ridiculous it is from an intellectual perspective despite the fact that the other half of my brain refuses to concede defeat.
I am confident that I can find an investor somewhere who sees the potential in this project. I have been tinkering with it for so long, but the time has come to cut my losses, I think. I could beg somebody to buy it from me, but pride is another vice that has plagued me for as long as I can remember.
Am I seeking pity? I would like to say not. I hope not. But at the moment, having some extra cash in my pocket is more important to my goals and to the plan of action I have for my main site.
I would like to flip the site quickly so that somebody else can then take it further before flipping it again. This micro blog will be part of the deal, as will the plethora of social media accounts and various other online identities that share the same name.
I would prefer to sell sooner rather than later, but if that fails to happen, I will simply hold onto the names until I can get the project to where I think it ought to be. I see tremendous potential, and if you are interested, perhaps we can negotiate my ideas as part of the sale. But of course, that is optional.
No, this is not your typical sales letter. In fact, I’m not trying to sell you at all. Experienced website investors know all the tricks anyway. It would be naive to assume otherwise.
I will not lie to you. I don’t necessarily want to sell. I need to sell. It wouldn’t have been my first choice because I have held onto these particular domains for so long and have incubated an interesting concept to go along with them.
I sold off all the others I had years ago for a paltry sum, which turned out to be the right decision for me. But this set of addresses is closer to my heart, so it has taken much longer to pry them away from me.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss this opportunity further. I am willing to consider ending the official auction early in exchange for a fair and mutually beneficial offer. Let’s make a deal.
If you lack the time or desire to develop this web property, then I humbly ask you to tell everyone you know about the opportunity. I know there has to be somebody out there in cyberspace who could do it justice.
The more Twitter followers I can get, and the quicker I can get them, the more likely I’ll be able to find the right person to take over the reigns.
Thanks so much!
