imgflip.com - meme & gif creation/sharing site

Traffic: 2.5M visits/mo, 5.5M pageviews/mo

Revenue: 9K/mo

Cost to run: 1.5K/mo

The heart of the site is the Meme and GIF generators, best on the net if you ask me ;). Pro subscriptions are the biggest source of revenue. I'm not sure I would say "want to sell", but I spend most of my time on a much larger project/team, so I don't give it the attention it deserves. For that reason, I would be glad to see someone (or a team) who wanted to build it out much more.

Reversegif.com - 300k-400k visitors per month (majority US) for 3+ years with no work. Adsense can be replaced after reviewing uploads for nsfw content - avg $10/day. Pageviews 700k+

Well hello! I must stay I've stumbled on your site a few times, being in the GIF business. Cool to see so many of these site owners on HN. I also left a reply on a site I run, imgflip.com, somewhere on the page here.

NSFW content is definitely one of the harder challenges when it comes to advertising on user-generated GIFs...

I am happy with the sales of `iphoneSMSExport for Mac` competitively priced at $2 - http://goo.gl/TpZJTy

Given the minimal promotion that i do, Its paying off of its monthly hosting fees with in the first 2 or 3 days of each month leaving another $100. But right now Paypal is taking a big cut.

http://RVmenu.com is hotels.com for RV rentals. High conversion rate but very little traffic. Needs lots of SEO love.

Related, maybe an area to expand into: I've always thought an "AirBnb for RVs" made sense. How many people buy RVs, use them for a while, then let them sit for 20 years while they devalue? Just a thought.

Or RV Swaps, like house swaps. For either other side of the country or another country altogether. I've had that idea for a long time hoping someone would do it.

Insurance and others is a minor sticking point I think, but should be workable. On the plus side, unlike house swaps, they don't have to be simultaneous.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RobbinsDev... A very basic android game (no ads or purchases inside it) with about 400 downloads per day, 15k current installs. I know there's not much monetization potential but it could drive steady traffic somewhere. You could totally redo it and get some automatic ranking in the store. I would use the money to pay for college which is coming up in about 18 months.

Could you post your contact info please?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Email me, you can find my email in my profile. A few people have expressed interest so I'd like to find a way to get as many people involved as possible.

You could try https://flippa.com/ I don't know how big of a cut they take but they have a bidding process, you could also open it to the public.

but they charge an upfront fees of min $9, any free alternative to flippa?

Cody, I'm still sorry I couldn't have maintained the Android app for you. :/ I loved working on it but just balancing that out with school kicked my ass.
