Tell us a little about yourself. What\u2019s your background? How did you start the business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi, I am Akshay. I am an engineer and a tech enthusiast. I started my journey in digital marketing journey 3 years ago. in 2018, I started my first blog in the electric vehicle niche. I always wanted to learn to code. I searched for various online courses and read their reviews. In this process, I realised there isn’t any platform that helps you to discover, choose and review online courses. Later in 2019, I started OnlineCoursieng.com to help online learning aspirants with course reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have you marketed the product and where are your customers originating from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 80% of our traffic comes from organic search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the asset on your listing owner-operated, how much time does it take to run the business, who else is needed on the team, and what is automated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it’s owner-operated. I spend at least 40-50 hours\/week on this website. I write most of the content and update all the blog posts. Though I had few interns in the past, with a team of 3-4, this business can be easily automated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does someone need to do to continue operating the business in its current form?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get more affiliate partners on board and write reviews of their courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing the business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can you list a few opportunities for a potential new owner to continue growing the business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. New owner can make more affiliate partnerships with online course platforms (there are more than 1000+ courses in USA alone)<\/li>
  2. Currently we have partnered with only online courses that offer commission of $50-$250\/course ( eg.Udemy,Udacity etc). New owner can also work with coding bootcamps that offer higher commissions of $500-$1000\/course (eg.Lambda School)<\/li>
  3. A revenue model can also be made to charge online course platforms to be highlighted on the homepage.<\/li>
  4. A ton of articles can be written on suggesting students ‘the best online courses for a subject'(eg.best data science courses online 2022). Hence increasing the affiliate revenue.<\/li>
  5. Online course platforms are also ready to pay for sponsored posts.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What has been the evolution of this asset since its launch?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since its launch, we have partnered with 20+ online course platforms and attracted traffic of around 10k\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How does this business make money? What are the current revenue streams?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since we have affiliate partnerships with online course providers, we earn a commission after every sale we make. We haven’t explored running ads and other revenue streams. This can be a good opportunity to increase revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What marketing channels are most profitable for the business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    LinkedIn, Reddit and Quora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How big is your current team? How many people does it take to run this business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Currently, it’s just me operating this business. In order to scale faster, the new owner can hire one content manager and a few content writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s the reason for selling your business on Flippa?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I have another Saas startup that needs my focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
