A website focused on sharing information about contests, instant wins, and freebies was launched in 2012 and has grown significantly, mainly due to its Facebook presence with over 685,000 fans. The current owner is selling the site to focus on other ventures, believing the site still has untapped potential. The site generates revenue through Google AdSense CPM ads, affiliate offers, and sponsored posts. Increased expenses occur when posts perform well on Facebook, resulting in boosted promotions. The owner emphasizes that the site performs best during the fall and winter seasons.
Management of the site reportedly takes between 2 to 6 hours daily during the week, with reduced hours needed during weekends. The platform runs on WordPress, is supported by social media scheduling tools, and a newsletter service. The sale includes all site content, domains, an email list of 17,996 contacts, and associated social media accounts.
Opportunities for revenue growth include reaching out to companies for paid promotions, securing free products for site-run contests, and more active promotion of affiliate offers. The owner pledges assistance during the transition, ensuring the new owner can run the site smoothly, providing support for the first month and up to 10 additional hours afterward. A seamless transfer is anticipated, especially for those hosting on the current provider. The sale offers potential for increasing social media leverage due to the existing large fan base.
