Users can connect social accounts like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to create a magazine-style display, continuously updated without extra effort. The service, launched originally as a different brand in 2012, now targets higher education institutions who benefit from mapping their social content to a custom domain. The business model promises steady, recurring revenue with no client turnover, appealing to those interested in integrating social media into websites without extensive effort.
The service sale includes the transfer of existing clients, domain ownership, branding assets, internal documents, and technology integrations with platforms like Stripe, Freshbooks, and Quickbooks. The company is currently earning $1,022 per month in subscription revenues, although this number can fluctuate due to prepaid annual subscriptions and setup fees. Operational costs primarily involve technology hosting on AWS, making it cost-effective with high profit margins.
The technology stack comprises Python and Django for the backend, jQuery for the frontend, and databases like MySQL and MongoDB hosted on specified platforms. The company highlights the need for familiarity with coding for maintenance tasks, including managing API updates from social networks.
The founders, who enjoy product development but not marketing, are selling due to a desire to focus on other projects. They believe the business will thrive under someone who is passionate about sales and marketing or who has an existing client base. The potential for growth remains significant if the marketing efforts can be expanded.
