EAR CANDY for sale

After much thought, I have decided to sell EAR CANDY. It is not a decision that I came to lightly, but I've had a personal issue (my wife's health problems) that warrants my complete attention. Over the last year, I thought that I could carry on EAR CANDY despite everything, but I simply can't give it the magazine the time it deserves.

At first I thought I could find "assistants" to help me with the everyday running of the magazine. I've tried to find people to assist me with EAR CANDY, and although I've contacted tons of very talented writers, none of them had the html skills necessary. That seems to be the basic problem I've had - although I have many people who write for EAR CANDY, I am the one who has done all the html layouts/image sizing myself.

Meanwhile, I have a huge backlog of material that is ready...but needs html coding to be ready for issue. This includes various reviews, interviews, essays, etc. Hence, my decision to sell EAR CANDY.

What is the asking price? Hell, I don't know - EAR CANDY has NEVER been about 'making money', and whatever money the sale itself brings in will simply go to recent expenses at home (without going too much into detail, it involves my wife's illness). I just want to get EAR CANDY back-on-track and concentrate on the matters at hand.

Here are a few details on the site:

  • It has been in existence since 1999.
  • The domain (www.earcandymag.com) expires at the end of this year (December 2007).
  • While I haven't fully explored the idea of 'selling advertisements' on the site, I currently have a handful of current ads on various pages. So, the opportunity is there for someone who has such advertisement savvy.
Along with the sale of EAR CANDY, I will also include any help needed for the site, such as input on the layout, backups, image input, and all my contacts in the media.

The only 'clause' in the sale would be the agreement to post all the pending articles as a priority before any new content.
