Ships, Boats, Yachts – as essential and necessary as automobiles, trains and airplanes – a multi-billion dollar business – one of the basic forms of tranportation, a means of livelihood for many and entertainment or hobby for some. This website is a marketplace for such products where everyone can list his/her property for sale and everyone interested in acquiring one, can buy. Currently free, a listing fee is intended to be charged after the site becomes popular.
Sellers can be expected to pay, say, $25.00 per listing remaining on the site for 90 days. 100 listings per month (which is no figure at all considering the size of the market) will bring in $2,500; 250 listings (which too is miniscule) will bring in $6,250; so on so forth.
Price: $1250

Depending on the exigencies of the market, you can increase or decrease the fee as needed. You can have featured listings and charge a higher price.
To make money you must market your service. Initially you may need some effort to popularize the site. Once it starts getting popular, viral marketing will set in. The site, from there onwards, will market itself on its own. And you can make this money with no overheads. All you pay is for hosting and renewal of the domain name.
Built using PHP scripting with a powerful MySQL database, the site is totally manageable from a browser based Admin. You can manage users, listings, configuration of the site – all from your web browser. Users have their own control panel from where they can manage their listings. Users can add new listings, modify existing ones and delete the ones they have sold.
FloatMarket.com – Domain Name
Ships, boats, yachts etc are all properties that are in reality floating equipment or vessels. That’s what this domain conveys – marketplace for floatong equipment. Short, simple and conveying its meaning and purpose unambiguously, would be worth several thousand dollars for the name alone.
