A notable online platform is up for auction and presents a rare opportunity for interested buyers. The site operates in the micro-employment sector, similar to well-known platforms, and allows sellers to list services ranging from $5 to $100, earning a commission on each transaction. Established in May 2010, the site has experienced technical challenges, including server crashes and script issues, but has been consistently growing, currently hosting nearly 3,000 members and enjoying a significant amount of daily active users. The platform is equipped with a robust automated structure that requires minimal daily management. Notably, the site has established a strong presence with over 9,000 Twitter followers and 2,000 Facebook fans, with a consistent intake of 20 to 50 new members daily.
The sale includes the primary website along with three additional domain names and full ownership of the customer base and related scripts. Monthly operating expenses include a $180 hosting fee and optional marketing expenses. The site's current expected annual turnover exceeds $72,000, with a 20% fixed commission on all transactions. The platform's infrastructure allows for easy integration of additional advertising revenue streams. Despite past setbacks, the site has demonstrated resilience and potential for profitability. The auction is time-sensitive, offering a unique investment opportunity that promises to be highly competitive, with previous sites of similar nature selling for substantial amounts. Potential investors have the option to participate in a training session to become acquainted with the site’s operations.
