SYDNEY, Sept. 9, 2014
/PRNewswire/ -- Freelancer.com has launched Freemarket to
provide its community of more than 13 million professionals with
the safest and most affordable platform to buy and sell domains and
websites.
Freelancer.com has launched Freemarket.com, an online
marketplace which facilitates the exchange of digital goods
particularly, websites and domains among technology entrepreneurs,
SMEs, investors, webmasters and operators of web properties.
Warrior Forum, the world's largest Internet marketing community,
which was acquired by Freelancer in 2013, had a popular domain and
website marketplace which Freelancer.com has split off from the
site and taken to the next level. This has allowed both platforms
to leverage the consolidated wide-reaching user base - a powerful
network no other domain marketplace currently has access to.
Internet marketers, developers and designers make up the top
buyer demographics for existing websites. Feedback from the
Freelancer.com and Warrior Forum communities have shown that its
members are dissatisfied with the domain sale options available to
them and there was strong demand for a new marketplace with a
dramatically different business model.
"The suite of Freelancer.com offerings means that our community
has access to a full service platform when creating, building and
selling their entire business or services online. With no listing
fees and only a 5% commission, Freemarket is the cheapest way to
sell websites and domains in the industry," Freelancer.com Chief
Executive Matt Barrie remarked.
On Freemarket, sellers can post both websites & domains and
may opt to either put them up for auction or use the 'Buy-It-Now'
option. Once listed, interested buyers will be able to bid or buy
the asset. When the seller finds the right deal, a seamless
handover process takes place.
Barrie further pointed out, "Over 3.8 million Website & IT
projects have been posted on Freelancer.com to date - so we are
already the #1 place where a large percentage of the Internet gets
built! Now we're going to be the #1 place that these websites get
bought and sold."
