What happened to the website? The design she pitches on the programs looks appealing and then when you visit the site I don't know where to look (very average).

Honestly, how did she get multiple offers for that? $60,000 in 12 month's turnover (she get's 6% of that) and the company is valued at about $200,000.

What happened to the website?

That's S09E01. They are up to S10E09 so is a good 12 months ago.. Probably had some design input from somewhere.

Something to note: "My big worry is what do you own other than the name?"

How many minutes in? (edited) Never mind - shes first in.

How many minutes in?

It's the first one, you can probably skip the first 2-3minutes, and the pitch is pretty painful to watch too.

Great idea in my view. Not sure why the domain would be particularly concerning, what is wrong with it? Wouldn't be investing though.

Thanks Tim; interesting watch. A slight cringe here and there at the start but with clever TV editing, it all worked out for her.

I don't think the domain is that bad to be honest,

"The Present Club"

they have also fixed up the site but it need some SEO help
