Description

Description: POMF is a forum paid posting service. It's been around for almost a year now and benefits from a great reputation. The backend of the site uses the Xoops CMS which allows managing the freelance posters and assigning the work in our private forum. There's currently 26 freelance posters registered on the site: 19 active ones, 5 new ones (have yet to take their first assignment) and 2 inactive ones (have not taken an assignment in September). We're one of the posting services that charge the most, and have the reputation of providing a quality service. This is mainly due to the fact that I pay my posters at least $0.20 per post, which is at least twice as much than many of our competitors. Since I run a couple of other websites and just started my second year in law school, I haven't been able to spend that much time on the site. I spend about 1 hour per weekday on the site. I turned down a couple of jobs during the month of September, which I felt would have taken too much of my time to manage. (We've also been having a big demand by gambling related forums; I had to turn down a couple, because at the moment I only have a few posters willing to take on that topic and I haven't had the time to hunt for new posters). I will continue to manage and pay the posters for all jobs started prior to the sale. We had 4 orders so far in October. History of the site: I created and launched the site in the last week of October 2005. In January 2006, I sold the site privately to a partner with whom I work with on other projects. She ran the site for the following months, but due to other obligations, she stopped running the site around June 2006. I re-bought the site from her in early August with the intention of getting it working and running again.

Revenue Details

When considering the net figures, it is important to remember that I personally never do any forum posting and I pay the posters $0.20 per post as a minimum.

    Second year in Law school (college)

    I'm in my second year at PTU and I just sold my forum with over 14,000 members and $1800 a month in revenue for that same reason, NO TIME!

    If I had more funds I would snatch this up and outsource it to someone, guys this is a steal.

    As gokies said, college and time are the reasons. So I decided have to cut down on some of my sites, mainly the ones who takes me time to manage.

    "Because this bid was made within the last 4 hours of the auction, the auction end has been extended for a few hours. This helps you to receive the highest possible price on your auction. If there were bidders who have just been out-bid, they have 4 more hours in which to submit a higher bid."

    Will it keep adding 4 hours automatically to the auction every time someone bids??
