Anonymized Business Summary:
The business, founded in 2019, offers boosting services for players in various MMOs who either lack time, skills, or interest in achieving in-game milestones or competitive ranks. In its initial three months, it generated $8,000 from over 100 customers and secured a high rating on a review platform. Between March and May 2020, the business maintained an average monthly revenue of $2,500, utilizing minimal advertising expenditures. The website is user-friendly with effective optimization, and the business provides post-sale support.
Revenue is generated by selling in-game boosting services, where customers select a specific game and service, such as advancing their rank in a competitive arena. A skilled player, also known as a booster, logs into the customer’s account to complete the desired task. Fifty percent of the service fee constitutes the business's profit, while the remainder compensates the booster. For instance, a $400 boost would provide $200 to the booster, while the business retains $200. Profits are used for advertising or website updates. The staffing needs include a content manager, several live-chat operators, and the boosters, with no additional salaried positions required.
The business was put up for sale after the founding team disbanded, making it challenging to finance or manage ads for relaunching. It is an attractive opportunity for MMO enthusiasts seeking to earn money from games or entrepreneurs interested in generating passive income. The sale includes customer databases with post-sale support.
