An established online platform since 2007, Free Stuff Finder has become a prominent aggregator of free items, coupons, and deals, attracting over 220,000 monthly pageviews and engaging 87,500 active Facebook fans. Originally developed by a larger company, the platform is being sold to aid funding for a primary startup, with the aim of minimizing equity dilution.
Over the past year, Free Stuff Finder has generated $73,000 in revenue, mainly through Google Adsense ($62,589.80), along with earnings from an affiliate network and various referrals. The site incurs minimal ongoing expenses, including hosting and content creation costs ranging from $300 to $550 per month. Prior investments in Facebook ads, aimed at fan base growth, totaled $15,000.
The platform's organic growth on Facebook presents significant potential for expansion. Prospective buyers are encouraged to reinvest in Facebook advertising, increase the frequency of postings to boost adsense revenue, and explore increased affiliate revenue opportunities.
Traffic to the site primarily originates from Facebook (77%), supplemented by direct visits and minor contributions from Google organic search and other sources. Noteworthy recent Facebook statistics highlight 34.9 million general impressions and notable organic fan growth. The freebie-sharing platform enjoys a robust social media presence, attributing its success partly to the strategic move away from reliance on Google's algorithms. Through Facebook-driven traffic, the site benefits from consistent audience engagement and expanded reach, laying a strong foundation for further development and monetization.
