The site began as an experiment in September 2012 before receiving serious attention in February of a recent year to transform it into a revenue-generating platform. It monetizes primarily through PayPal, distributing submitted books across email lists, social networks, and the site itself. Despite not using Amazon affiliate links due to location restrictions, potential for immediate revenue increase exists. Since April, efforts have focused on maximizing revenue per transaction, with sales averages gradually rising from $15 in March 2014 to $20.62 by August 2014. This growth allows for more advertising opportunities, though success with social media pay-per-click (PPC) has been limited. The site has partnerships with bloggers and authors driving sales, with approximately 3,500 subscribers on its email list.
Currently, book submissions are managed manually, taking about 5-10 minutes per submission, but utilizing post types could streamline the process significantly. The owner believes the site can generate over $3,000 per month with minimal effort, potentially becoming highly profitable with a virtual assistant managing operations. Since redirecting Facebook posts to the site, traffic has increased steadily. The WordPress site employs the Genesis framework with minor adjustments. Additional domains under the site’s umbrella include various niche book categories. Complete access to the site and related accounts will be provided upon purchase, with domains registered on a popular platform for easy transfer. The owner is selling to fund another project.
