Looking to sell our long time premium generic domain and website - as no longer in long term plans as we own a gym equipment website.
Slimming /co/uk (includes /uk)
Has long history and was bought from Mrs Jello way back in the day for £12k! Now neglected for last 2 to 3 years due purely to workload.
Happy to do split payments with min. 30% upfront (we retaining ownership until final payment made - but will change the DNS to your servers from day one).
Site will come with the website - assume no income. We can provide access to the CMS for you to manage and add content - whilst you look to migrate - we can also work with your developer to migrate in a suitable format.
MAKING MONEY
This may well be the best single word, generic domain that allows you to cover diets, pills, weight loss, weight management, slimming clubs, fitness, recipes and more. This is an area that is so under-targeted by a single resource.
Anecdotal evidence from IPSOS - "more than 4 in 10 (43%) Britons say they are trying to lose weight. Women are significantly more likely to be trying to shed the pounds; half are currently working towards this while 37% of men are trying to do the same. "
Back to basics marketing and retention tools like calorie counters or food diaries (we used to partner with nutracheck and weightlossresources earning excellent income each month) this generic domain could help you promote your brand successfully year on year.
Weekly content and a boost to the existing content would see this rise up the rankings pretty quickly as inbound links start to come naturally (like they used to do).
- A Slimming classes/company lead generation could work really well as this is something we discussed with a number of local people (i.e. be more targeted than Bark!).
- Subscription for huel type food replacement or SlimFast
- Contact key agencies to get in on Gov campaigns
- Affiliate programs - Numan / MyJuniper / Pharmacy2U
The potential for someone with time or a small team to really accelerate the project is huge. First port of call - simply work your way through the website and interlink properly and tweak the content. A weeks work and some good inbound links and you can start ranking on first page again for a range of high value terms.
The domain name(s) will come with the html website you see now on the domain - please assume no income even though we are making around £50 a month.
When promoting and working on SEO - was 1st for Slimming plus a few other high traffic combinations - was 6th or 7th for weight loss too.
NOTES :
Perfect timing to get on and capitalise on the latest approved NICE drugs Ozempic and Wegovy

This is a £2bn + industry - get probably the best single word, generic domain that allows you to cover diets, pills, weight loss, weight management, slimming clubs, fitness, recipes and more. The potential for someone with time is huge.
According to the BBC/Independent the weight loss industry in the UK is worth around £2billion a year (that was 3 years ago) . At any time 2/5 of us are trying to lose weight at any one time, this seems to be one business unaffected by the recession. The global value of the weight loss market is estimated to reach £220 billion by 2017. One reason for this growth is the fact that it is based on failure. As one diet fails so people look for another diet to replace it. But the other factor behind this growth is the sheer number of obese people in the UK.
The global weight loss and weight management market size was valued at USD 224.27 billion in 2021 - https://www.globenewswire.com/en/ne...pel-market-growth-Facts-Factors-Industry.html
The UK and Germany Diet and Nutrition Apps market size was estimated at USD 22.1 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 26.2 million in 2022

OBESITY IN THE UK
Obesity is now recognised as the largest and fastest growing public health problem in the developing world. According to the head of the NHS in England ¼ of all adults and 1 in 5 schoolchildren are obese. This means that a staggering 13 million adults are currently obese in the UK and potential users of these two domains. By 2050 the number of obese people is estimated to rise to 26 million people (The National Obesity Forum).
