BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Feeder and promotional website for book publishers and authors
Ref.IE088
Location Web Based Business
Asking Price: O. I. R. O. £150,000 for the website and domain names
This is a well known and frequently visited website on which readers can vote to nominate published books for an award.

The website works in a similar fashion to www.goodreads.com which was recently sold to Amazon for an alleged US$1billion and it acts as an excellent feeder and promotional site for publishers and authors.

The website itself is free to use and anyone can vote for any book, so long as it is sold on Amazon.

The website is currently non-revenue generating but the opportunity exists to expand and enhance the website through SEO and advertising and to monetise its visitor traffic. By increasing its profile and traffic the website will become increasingly valuable.

Within the publishing industry the website is extremely well known and the registered domain name is memorable and highly effective.

Visitors are encouraged to nominate books, leave comments and even links to the books’ listings on Amazon in order to encourage purchases.

The website hosts both monthly and annual awards.

Average current traffic to the website is 6,600 views per month. Average numbers of votes are 1,300 per month.

In addition to the awards site, there is a small publishing operation with a memorable domain name.
