Experimentation has been and will continue to be one of the most important things that I do. In fact, I count on it as a core part of my success as an entrepreneur.
It’s also why I continue to expand and grow my online presence, platform, and personal brand. 9 out of 10 experiments that I do never see the light of day because they are either still in the process of being evaluated or they have failed miserably. This is part and parcel of the process and it doesn’t bother me one bit.
On a rare occasion I’ll invite some of my trusted partners and colleagues into the mix and they’ll help the experiment get a little more footing. That’s always fun because it shows the potential of the experiment even more.
I’m at a place now where some of these past experiments are starting to gain traction and build steam. I’ve made a decision to start looking for new owners of these properties, not because I want to exit them for a huge financial windfall but simply because I do not have the time or sustaining interest to keep them going myself.
But, I am interested in seeing them succeed and finding the right new owner is what I’m looking for.
So, over the course of the next few weeks I’ll be sharing a few of these experiments with the expressed and explicit goal of having one of you, yes you, taking it over. I’m looking for qualified buyers to take these experiments and see them to their glorious end (or beyond…?).
Creative Home Offices
Creative Home Offices has been a project that I started in June of last year – so it’s been more than a year-long experiment. I started creative home offices around the same time I started looking for neat stuff for my own office, which I began blogging about as part of this blog series here.
As you can see, the Series started June 13th and I launched this blog 2 weeks later! The reason? Because I couldn’t find a dedicated source of inspiration for creative home office gear, looks, and more.
So I started blogging, hoping to do it daily. 419 posts later the experiment has proved to be a great success, showing obvious growth and huge potential.
Just look at the stats:
As you can see the traffic is up and to the right. Incredibly healthy. Here’s a month-to-month view via WordPress stats:
Yup. Obvious pattern here, right?
Not to mention that if you Google “creative home offices” the blog is squarely on the first page, with an incredible #3 spot:
So the potential for significant growth in the capable hands of a blogger who wants to take it to the next level is obvious. There has been no monetization so far so it’s a complete blank canvas with revenue potential right out of the gate.
So there you have it. I’m interested in finding someone who will take the blog to the next level and then hopefully build a great revenue channel for their own personal needs.
If you’re seriously interested then drop me a line via my Contact Form on my About page and give me a serious offer. I’m not interested in partnering on any level or doing some revenue share – I’m looking for a cash buyout. I will transfer all rights and privileges and content to your server that you will manage and everyone will have a great party.
Stoked to see who takes this experiment and makes it something big.
Does it have any proof of earnings? Little or small?
And “creative home offices” only gets 49 GLOBAL searches a month, hardly overwhelming.
i assume you used google adwords tool to see that stat. i’d say something about how limited that tool is but your first sentence reveals that you’re not necessarily one to be thorough or comprehensive so i’ll stop at that.
LOL.
Damn! Great opportunity, wrong time…
Would have loved the challenge, but I’d rather not insult you with my offer… LOL…
Next time…
Wow, what a great offer for the right individual(or group). I can see the revenue potential, especially as home offices become more and more popular. And I am sure it won’t just be a niche for those who work at home, I can see the millions of those who are stuck in their cubicle reading the blog to see how they can make their little square a bit like home.
I am passionate about ideas, invention and creativity. I would love to buy this brand, but seeing that I am broke and considering my past track record as a blogger, I will have to just wish this awesome opportunity on to someone else.
The one good thing about being broke, is that it pushes you to do what you have to do. I have been an inventor (on paper) my whole life (all 44 years of it). For some reason I have not acted on that passion the way I should have. Even 18 years ago I would drive down to Atlanta, GA to Georgia Tech, just to do patent searches in their patent library (that was before you could do it online). It is time for change and focus (as much focus as a self diagnosed ADHD person can have). If John can fine tune his life, then why can’t I?
Last night I finally did what I should have done 25 years ago; I successfully filed my first provisional patent with the US Patent Office. My goal this week is to launch that invention on Kickstarter and start my invention and design company. Hopefully it will be successful so I can open the flood gates to all the other projects I have dammed up. I will mention it later on http://www.mutantminds.com.
John, if you have allowed this comment to stay on this post, I am greatly appreciative that you let me vent a little and put my feet to the fire now that I have made public my intentions with my life. To those who happen to read my silly comments from time to time, thanks for being patient with me; having “ADHD” is both a blessing and a curse.
And to whomever ends up getting this awesome brand/blog, I congratulate you, and maybe in the future you will cover one of my inventions on your blog.
awesome man. thanks!
What a great concept! That outdoor feel in the pic is resonating in a big way!
Would love to make an offer if I could swing it financially. GREAT blog idea!
Well I’m not the one to do the project as I would not make it succeed. I’m too busy with my own work and single mom stuff. But I’m so glad YOU started it since I work out of a home office and am constantly looking for ideas to make it better. Thanks, and good work, John!
As I explore that blog further, I think I’ve fallen in love. Whoever buys it, please tap into me as a guest blogger!
Your experiments have experiments.
Just wondering if you have any bites yet?
