The website, initiated in May 2013, focuses on aiding individuals seeking to quit or reduce marijuana use. Initially comprising five pages, the site expanded to include a blog in 2015 to capitalize on growing search engine traction. By October 2015, it ranked #1 on Google for key phrases related to quitting marijuana, sustaining this position since then. The website's purpose is to support users by validating their experiences, detailing options for managing marijuana use, and offering an affiliate product as an alternative treatment. The audience typically comprises long-term marijuana users who have struggled to quit.
The site's primary monetization method is through an affiliate product titled "Quit Marijuana: The Complete Guide," for which the creator earns commissions. From August 2015 to April 2016, the site generated $16,954 in net revenue. A prospective buyer would need to establish their ClickBank account and replace existing affiliate links. SEO plays a critical role in the site's marketing, maintaining high rankings for targeted keywords. Social media engagement remains minimal.
Current operations require around five hours weekly for content updates and engagement, with opportunities for expansion through improved newsletter strategy, social media interaction, enhanced SEO on internal pages, and refined conversion tactics. Although competition exists, especially from the affiliate product owner, the site holds a strong competitive ranking advantage. The site operates on WordPress with a Thesis theme, requiring a separate theme license for continued use. The current owner wishes to sell the site to focus on other unrelated projects.
