In March, a bug in the payment processing system led to some new subscribers being missed from March to September 2015. Since October, subscriber numbers have returned to normal, with 3-5 new subscribers monthly. The business operates a website that aids in finding website networks through various IDs, such as Analytics and Amazon, primarily for competitive analysis. This tool also allows users to identify affiliates' emails through their Clickbank or Amazon IDs. The platform was built from scratch and runs independently, requiring minimal intervention aside from responding to a few emails each week.
The business operates with a three-tier subscription model: a one-day access plan for $9.99, a premium subscription for $19.99 per month, and a business subscription for $59.99 per month. The website’s content updates automatically, and it requires a modest server with SSD for optimal performance of its large database.
Monetization is solely through website sales, with potential for growth through additional marketing strategies, third-party ads, expanded payment options, increased functionality, a website redesign, an API, and professional SEO. The sale includes the domain, website, software, database, and 1-3 months of post-sale support to ensure a smooth transition for the buyer.
