You Advice is needed: What should I do now about my website ?
I need your advice with what to do about this website. I own the website: studentbasecamp dot com
I started this website two years ago as blog and got carried away spending a fortunate on it turning it into a website a year later (since the blog was doing pretty well, but my users used to complaint about the blog as discounts can be better located as a website) instead of a blog. As this been said, although I spent a lot on functionality, I wasn't wise developing the website as far as the design.
The website used to have a good amount of hits, but with time going on, I had a hard time working on other website.
I used to rank on first page on google on one of they keywords (with really high traffic) and still on yahoo and bing on first or second (Big companies were killing me on Google).
As far as traffic it start to die out, I have a lot of backlinks on the website, but I am not sure what should I do now, I list it on flipaa, (been 20 days and current bid is $150).
The website contain a feature that doesn't exist on any competitor which simply using search engine, where you can insert zip code / address to locate stores that offer the discount when student show up id (i went crazy collecting stores and paying to get store locations).
I have to say at some point I failed to market the website.
Now, I am wondering what should i do ? as I have four options:
1- Sell it ( I doubt with the end of the sale i will make half what i invest on it) but maybe a better marketer get it, where it suppose to be.
2- invest money on design and create mobile apps (I am not sure it is affordable option for now).
3- Put it a side until, i make enough funds (i already did that for few months, but i am concerned the more i wait, one day a competitor may actually show up with similar functionality, the current locations, many of them were collected manually by me).
4- Look for a partner with better marketing skill, who can put more time on the website.
I need some help as I am really confuse with what to do, my other website is doing really well, and keeping me busy but every time I look on this website, I feel guilty to let it go. I spent too much time and effort working on it and practically my first website developed by me.
