The seller, an experienced software developer and digital marketer based in Atlanta, Georgia, is offering a forum established in 2004 for sale. The forum, focused on business and online marketing, has been a platform for eager members to learn about running a business. With an average monthly revenue of $70 from BuySellAds and an additional $10 from AdSense, the forum attracts about 12 new signups daily. It is operated with minimal daily effort, requiring about 20 minutes to manage, and successfully mitigates 95% of spam.
The community is primarily composed of members from the United States and India, ranging in age from 25 to 55, and new members are mainly acquired through referrals and search engine hits. The seller acknowledges the potential to enhance the forum's offerings by establishing a paid mastermind group, leveraging the included 10 custom business videos valued at $4000. This initiative could introduce subscription models ranging from $27 to $47 per month.
The sale includes several plugins and domains, along with a one-month email support period post-sale. While the seller has enjoyed his time owning the forum, he believes someone with business experience and forum management expertise would better serve its potential. The listed tentures of various plugins feature standard lifetime licenses from the software provider Brivium and cover functions such as user interaction enhancement, conversation search, membership systems, and improved forum search capabilities. The seller underscores the community’s positive atmosphere, which has remained free from typical forum disputes.
