A social networking website oriented around parenting was launched in March 2006, aiming to create the world's largest platform for parent-to-parent advice. This site offers over 9,100 parenting advice articles, more than 500,000 forum comments, and a membership base of over 50,000, with 38,000 verified emails. It operates autonomously and is hosted on a popular cloud services platform. Currently, the site generates revenue primarily through an ad service, although it historically engaged in successful sales campaigns leveraging a virtual gift engine. Additionally, it provides a subscription-based business listing service integrated with a digital payment system for parenting-related businesses.
The administration of the site is accessible via member profiles, offering features like surveys, virtual currency, and self-administration capabilities, outlined in a detailed features document. Related domains will accompany the sale, with an option to include another parenting-oriented domain. Although the website previously supported highly lucrative campaigns, generating over $10,000 monthly, it has lacked active management for over a year. The site's mailing list represents a significant asset, and an email campaign platform is integrated into the administrative functions. With diligent management and enthusiasm, the site has the potential to be highly valuable for a parenting-focused investor. The brand name and its logo are registered trademarks, and their transfer is included in the sale. The site experienced high revenue in September 2011 during its last actively managed campaign, with ongoing income deriving from passive advertising efforts.
