My answer from a similar thread a couple of months ago:

StartOpz (http://www.startopz.com):

Workday-lite (really lite) for small businesses. Individual components such as time-off tracking and expense reports all have sites on there dedicated to them individually that seem to do well. This covers all of them and could use somebody who has time to dedicate to (content) marketing.

Moviestud.io (http://www.moviestud.io):

Production management for independent filmmakers. The blog has a lot of epic length blog posts that can use somebody who can spend some time promoting them.


http://wordsafety.com

I made this last year, but failed to build on the initial audience... There's no revenue, so any offer will be considered.

The site was launched in August 2015 and got 79,000 pageviews in its first month. It also got some media attention which has given the site quite good search engine ranking: it is a top-3 Google result for most of the relevant keywords and search phrases.

I can also throw in the domain BabyNameCheck.com. There's no site there currently, but you could easily reuse the word check back-end from WordSafety... Just make a new baby-themed design and it could be a site that any parent would want to check out when trying to decide a name.


just looked: toto. nice two bad meanings, still it means vagina in Dominican Republic.

totto is different in written form, but phonetically it's the same


www.c0dereview3rs.com (I mangled this to avoid having this comment associated with the domain).

Boutique consultancy providing professional code reviews. Could be run by a coder who likes to do reviews and writes well or by a project manager who contracts the work out to experts with the appropriate skills. I have done projects both ways.

It has been completely ignored for many years. It used to get a good lead every month, but I haven’t checked the inbound email address in years.


https://www.slidingboxes.com/

Saas portfolio site for artists. Launched Jan 2013. 0 Marketing. 5k+ users (not sure where they are coming from, not sure if they are spam accounts) 29 customers, but only 8 are currently active/billed.

Site exists on an AWS ec2 instance, mysql DB on RDS. Application is split into three Laravel apps: 1) slidingboxes.com site 2) admin panel to manage portfolio 3) the portfolio itself

Stripe used for billing (via laravel Cashier package).

Ansible used to provision/deploy. Local dev via Vagrant. Source code managed via private Git repo on bitbucket.


https://brandfountain.com

A startup brand store with curated inventory of premium project and startup domains. Domains can be developed or sold as is.

Needs a little polish before launching, don't really have the time.

Instant revenue stream with a bit of marketing.


http://www.secretsantagenerator.net

Lets people organize secret santa gift exchanges via e-mail, including rules about who can buy for who.

At its peak in the holiday season, gets about 10k uniques per day. Close to a million people have used it since launch in 2011.

Very easily monetizable - just provide affiliate link gift recommendations. I had intentions of doing this so many times but just never followed through and got bored with the project.
