The website operates on the Joomla CMS platform and functions by allowing clients to purchase points, which can then be exchanged for traffic, Facebook likes, or YouTube views. Users, referred to as surfers, earn points by engaging with sites, liking Facebook pages, or watching YouTube videos. The business structure involves clients paying for services, while the earned funds are then distributed to the surfers.
The primary motivation for selling the website is related to issues with the payment system, specifically the inability to use PayPal in the site owner's country. Alternative payment methods are deemed unsuitable for sustaining the system, leading to difficulties in processing customer payments.
For potential buyers, the site offers the capability to generate approximately $1,300 to $1,500 monthly revenue with an investment of 2 to 3 hours per week for managing payments to surfers. The expenses include monthly payments to surfers, estimated between $100 to $200, plus an additional $50 for server costs.
Furthermore, there is an opportunity to increase revenue by offering traffic, Facebook likes, or YouTube views on other platforms, potentially bringing in an extra $1,000 monthly. This diversification can enhance total earnings, making the site a lucrative proposition for someone able to navigate the payment challenges and invest minimal weekly management time.
