The Top Floor Flat

One of the most engaging projects I undertook while at Colby College was my startup business DormWise.com, a web resource for college students.  I’ve struggled and stressed for quite some time over how to make use of the remains of my effort – and it was quite a bit of effort.  Unfortunately the site has sat at its domain somewhat uselessly since I graduated from college and it’s been frustrating for me to see all that work go to waste.  I’ve sent out some feelers to see if there’s anyone who’d be interested in buying the whole site but the amount I would get for it seems so miniscule that I couldn’t quite justify it.

A number of people suggested leaving the site in place to earn advertising revenue but there isn’t very much traffic (seeing as all of my traffic-driving skills are currently going to my full time job!).  Recently, however, I’ve made a few forum posts to see if there is anyone who would be interested in taking on complete management of the site in return for 50% of the profits.  It’s a fairly good deal for someone who has the skills and drive to run a website but isn’t able to make it themselves, plus I’m paying all of the hostings costs.  I’ve received a fair bit of interest and at the moment I am “interviewing” online a number of the people who responded.  There are a couple of people I believe would do a decent job but if you or someone you know might be interested, of course get in touch.

I’m really looking forward to engaging a few more people with DormWise and while I’m here in California, it’s a perfect time to transfer the control to someone who is excited, driven and, preferably, still in college! Hopefully it’ll be beneficial for both of us.
