Stand Strong Media

A lot of things have changed with Stand Strong Media over the last month. I’ve acquired 3 new domains, and sold my biggest website. I’m also changing the focus of SSM from being exclusively about finance and investing to also having domains and online businesses that operate in other verticals like gardening, and home decorations.

As I’ve written about in the post called “electric fireplace reviews“, I’ve acquired a website that reviews every popular electric fireplace insert on the basis of quality, style, and price. I’ve also acquired a domain that details cheap greenhouses. These are my non-financial/non-investing domains.

My newest investing/financial domain is an investing blog that explains the basics of how to invest in bonds, the stock market, and mutual funds. It also includes pages on savings accounts, the best CD rates, and other investing information.

We’re also in talks with a company in order to potentially purchase a new web property that includes retirement tutorials. If this deal goes through, we’ll develop it with information on early retirement, the best places to retire, and information for investing for retirement. This will be a completely free “tutorial” oriented website as well — just like the other websites in the investment research network.

We’re also putting a full-throttle marketing campaign for our debt consolidation website, building tutorials dealing with debt consolidation, as well as debt settlement, debt reduction tips, frugality information, and guides for anyone looking to reduce their monthly interest rates while increasing their credit score. This website is also completely free.

In the last month, Stand Strong Media has sold an important web property and has also acquired a new property in a niche that has so far been unexplored by the company.

In the last few weeks, we finalized a deal with a buyer who approached us about purchasing Learn Financial Planning. The website has now successfully changed hands, payment has been made, and our time and efforts are now being focused on our other and new projects.

After selling the website, we began looking for a low-cost investment. Preferably a website that was getting a healthy level of traffic, but wasn’t being completely monetized. We recently stumbled across and purchased a website on electric fireplaces called “The Electric Fireplace Place.”

The website covers everything from information and the history of electric fireplaces, to reviews of different electric heaters and electric fireplace inserts.

Today is the first full day that the website is under our control, and we’ve already upped the monetization with a substantial redesign, and placement of Adsense, Amazon, and Shopzilla ads throughout the website.

We’re excited about the new domain, and are still open to the idea of buying other websites, so long as the website generate at least 100 unique visitors from search engines per day.

Over the next year, our goal with the fireplace website is to get it to rank top 10 for “fireplace”, “electric fireplaces” and every other major keyword it already currently targets. After 1500 daily visitors is achieved, we’ll then begin talks with some drop-shipping firms to discuss the possibility of actually selling products on the website rather than simply selling advertisements.

Do you own a niche website that receives over 100 unique search engine visitors per day? If so, then feel free to contact us with the details of traffic, income, and how much you’re interested in selling the website for.
