http://wordsafety.com I made this last year, but failed to build on the initial audience... There's no revenue, so any offer will be considered. The site was launched in August 2015 and got 79,000 pageviews in its first month. It also got some media attention which has given the site quite good search engine ranking: it is a top-3 Google result for most of the relevant keywords and search phrases. I can also throw in…

just looked: toto. nice two bad meanings, still it means vagina in Dominican Republic.

totto is different in written form, but phonetically it's the same

https://brandfountain.com A startup brand store with curated inventory of premium project and startup domains. Domains can be developed or sold as is. Needs a little polish before launching, don't really have the time. Instant revenue stream with a bit of marketing.

This is neat, I missed the service Stylate used to provide.

www.c0dereview3rs.com (I mangled this to avoid having this comment associated with the domain).

Boutique consultancy providing professional code reviews. Could be run by a coder who likes to do reviews and writes well or by a project manager who contracts the work out to experts with the appropriate skills. I have done projects both ways. I have some good reports to give to prospective clients and have found that customers who reach out are usually serious.

It has been completely ignored for many years. It used to get a good lead every month, but I haven’t checked the inbound email address in years. I joined a trading group in 2007, loved the work and quit doing side projects.

My answer from a similar thread a couple of months ago:

StartOpz (http://www.startopz.com):

Workday-lite (really lite) for small businesses. Individual components such as time-off tracking and expense reports all have sites on there dedicated to them individually that seem to do well. This covers all of them and could use somebody who has time to dedicate to (content) marketing.

Moviestud.io (http://www.moviestud.io):

Production management for independent filmmakers. The blog has a lot of epic length blog posts that can use somebody who can spend some time promoting them.

It seems like you could get at least a little monetization by combining it with a domain registration affiliate program.

The BabyNameCheck could also link to name popularity data to find names that aren't too common but also not too rare. Monetize with Amazon links to baby products.
