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.

[sk8ramp]

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?

[sk8ramp]

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'll share admin duties with you. I don't know anything about skateboarding however.

[mrx]

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.

[sk8ramp]

Thank you for your valuable insight mrx.

Jay I'll pm you about this.
