Looking for partner in skateboarding site
Hi, I have an existing vbulletin forum for skateboarders. Due to many other projects going I have no time to keep up with it. I am looking for someone who has extra time to spend giving it the attention it needs. We would share admin duties, no real experience with vbulletin necessary as I can take care of the technical aspects, all you'd need is time and eagerness to learn how to market it. I will continue to pay all costs (hosting/upgrades) but as it grows all advertising revenue will be shared equally.
I know it's kind of niche and random, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I don't want to just let it die, and like I said I have too many other things going on.
site is skatethenortheast.com I also own eastcoastboarders.com so I may switch it over to broaden the range of prospective members and include snowboarding.

I like your website. Is it an idea to not only focus your website only with the forum?
To make your website more complete with more categories outside the forum? Like a blog.
I think more pictures and vids would be ideal with these kinda sports. Now they are kinda hiding deep in the forum.

Yes Upperz there are a lot of possibilities with it. And you're right the landing page could be expanded quite a bit. With my ramp/skatepark construction business and skate shop being really busy, not to mention a new start up I am working on, I just don't have the time to add all the content right now.

Any current income? Why not tap your own community for help?

No there is no current income, but if the membership grows I have many contacts in the industry and I could sell ad space for sure. The membership has died down quite a bit without me being able to dedicate any time to it.
My thought was this would be a good opportunity for an eager student or young skateboarder who wants to start learning the ropes of internet marketing/website management. With the shell already in place someone would really only need time and dedication to make the site grow.

I doubt you'll find many young skate-borders here. Your scope seems pretty narrow.. I would think a national forum would have a better chance for success.
