The website, acquired in July 2015 and initially launched in December 2014, focuses on generating traffic through Pinterest rather than solely relying on Google. The original owner monetized the site effectively, earning over $500 per month before selling it. The current owner eventually decided to sell due to personal life changes. In the first year of management, efforts were directed towards creating shareable content and building a Pinterest profile, which resulted in multiple viral articles amassing thousands of shares.
Monetization efforts varied, with significant earnings reported in late 2015 through promotions. However, revenue declined until stabilizing in mid-2017 after switching to Mediavine, an ad platform optimizing ad performance. The site also earns through Amazon, and Mediavine has proved to be a passive revenue source.
Operating the site requires minimal time investment, with tasks like pin scheduling and article creation efficiently managed through tools like Tailwind and iWriter. A post-sale support package is offered to the buyer, including training on Pinterest strategies and account setup. Despite limited focus on SEO, the site benefits from organic link generation and has a strong social media presence, particularly on Pinterest with 2.4 million monthly views.
Included in the sale are 298 published posts, social media accounts, an email list of over 5000 subscribers, infographics, and images. Monthly expenses are minimal, covering pin automation, domain hosting, article production, and image acquisition. The site offers a unique, low-maintenance opportunity for the new owner to generate steady traffic and revenue.
