Description:
To people who want to create a million dollar blog, but can't do it on their own...
Today you can take ownership of a young blog that is about to unleash to the world an ingenious strategy that will transform it into a commanding intellectual property and million dollar asset.
In this post I will be revealing the secret to how this is possible and why you can take 100% stake in ownership right now, for about the price of a new car.
The strategy is a bold and almost unbelievable...
Yet every word is true and the result of Nerd Business working for you is a wonderful opportunity to build rapidly on the success you're already realizing on the web - or about to embark upon.
So here it is in a nutshell....
Dear Valued Friend:
Less than one year ago I registered a domain name for a new project.
That project was called "Nerd Business".
The vision I had for this was giant: to develop the Nerd Business brand into a website worth millions.
And my remarkably success-driven attitude would make it happen.
At the time - my biggest challenge was to develop Nerd Business and manage the demands of my existing business "Identify Media".
Managing this enterprise was already a full time job.
And it would take up the time needed to grow this new brand.
The big difference between my existing client projects and the Nerd Business project was the lack of any funding for development.
With an office lease and other company expenses to pay how could I allocate the time needed to work on Nerd Business while generating new cashflow to keep my existing business afloat?
Given this challenge I would struggle to get closer to the vision I had set for Nerd Business.
Yet I have been very contemplative in finding a solution...
... and it has taken almost 9 months to find it.
Luckily, a few nights ago I finally made the breakthrough connection.
Give Nerd Business to you.
In other words, find someone who can see this million dollar potential and give that person 100% ownership including the domain name and website.
And most importantly: provide 110% of my dedication to creating new content, developing the website, and executing my wildly innovative strategy to ensure Nerd Business reaches this ultimate vision.
You may be wondering: how can I give away full ownership and remain dedicated to Nerd Business full time?
I understand that may seem funny at first, so allow me to explain the method to my madness.
The reason why I have chosen to sell Nerd Business is to generate new capital to invest back into the project.
Essentially paying for my time so I can be YOUR expert - focusing on Nerd Business every day.
And I mean EVERY DAY.
Included in your investment in Nerd Business, in addition to the domain name, is a one year contract which guarantees you up to
76 unique blog posts,
6 professionally written books, and a
n estimated revenue baseline of $8,400 per month by this time next year.
76 blog articles means a new post for every week of the year: including Christmas. The 6 books mean an added source of revenue in addition to advertising sales.
And the guaranteed monthly revenue baseline of $8400 means at this time a year from now Nerd Business will be making YOU at least an annual $100,000 per year.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg because with my strategy our first year is only a building block to attain the $1,000,000 annual income goal which I believe we can achieve sometime in 2011.
Each one of the 76 blog posts created for you will be created & tightly edited for maximum readership appeal.
Here are tentative titles for 23 of the 76 blog posts included:

Making this connection, to sell Nerd Business along with my 110% backing, is a breakthrough for both of us.
I highly recommend you take advantage of this opportunity... and I'll give you an example of why.
Do you know who Ray Krock is?
In the 1950's Richard and Mac McDonald sold their hamburger stand concept to a 51 year old salesman named Ray Krock.
He partnered with the brothers, and within a few years they turned their small restaurant into a huge franchise that would later become a multibillion dollar corporation named McDonald's.
Ray Krok made the same connection that we are about to make today.
So now I'd like to personally personally introduce myself...

The Potential for Our Long Term Business Relationship
This contract is a sign of my commitment & trust with you, guaranteed for at least one year.
http://nerdbusiness.com/articles/for-sa ... ntract.pdf
Yet as the saying goes, a contract is only as good as the two people signing it.
You can trust in my word and my integrity.
Recently I sold a separate intellectual property of mine on the SitePoint Marketplace for $12,500.
http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/40930
Here's what the buyer, profrc, had to say:
"Derrick was professional in the negotiations and we made a smooth transaction through Escrow. After transferring the domains he was helpful to ensure that everything was running smoothly."
---profrc, Texas USA
Even though this $12,500 niche investment was a great deal, I know that Nerd Business is worth even more.
Million dollar brands such as Lifehacker and Engadget did not become successful with just one person.
By winning this auction, you have the advantage of receiving a long term partner dedicated to achieving the grand vision for your site.
My intention is to stay on Nerd Business as a Senior Editor even after our 12 months agreement.
I want to be apart of the success as the Nerd Business brand reaches massive popularity and rewardingly profitable advertising & sales revenue.
It's a shame for you not to make more money, when these blogs do it so easy..
Here are a few examples of top blogs on the web and the reasons why they have been so successful. And why Nerd Business will match and exceed them.
Case Study:
Weblogs Inc has quickly become a popular network of high traffic blogs such as Engadget and
Joystiq.comWith Google Adsense revenue estimated at over $1,000,000 per year Engadget and it's family of blogs are a powerful example of how profitable just a few simple blogs can be.
NerdBusiness is similar to Engadget with it's focus on tech lovers, it's memorable brand image, and simplified blog style.
However, while Engadget caters to a mass audience, Nerd Business has a more focused niche of tech lovers with entrepreneurial characteristics.
This is a big advantage over Engadget because entrepreneurs and business orientated individuals are much more more likely to convert into sales through affiliate programs and products (eBooks, training kits, etc).
Engadget and Weblogs Inc were founded by Brian Alvey and Jason Calacanis with the help of an investment from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
After being established for only two years, AOL acquired their blogs for an estimated $25 million.
You don't have to be owner of an NBA basketball team to invest & take full ownership of Nerd Business.
And we don't have to sell for $25 million like Brian & Jason did.
Yet together I feel we can reach a similar level of success for Nerd Business.

Pro:
Interesting unique value-added offer this seller has.
Con:
One issue is that if he needs the upfront money now, why would one think he'd have that cash available for a refund in one years time?
The seller was willing to go as low as $10,000 but there were no takers.
