What\u2019s your background? What got you interested in this particular project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been in the internet marketing industry for over 10 years at this points.&nbsp; I started as a marketing associate at a small vitamin company and eventually worked my way up to a corporate digital marketing manager overseeing and training the marketing staff at 10 different educational institutions.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-company\">The Company<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I started JobsForFelonsHub.com to help a family member out who had a record and was having a hard time finding a job.&nbsp; I really liked the thought of the project because I could make money while helping others. It started with a researched list of employers and expanded to what it\u2019s become today.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-is-the-content-created-for-this-website-are-you-working-with-contributors-or-is-it-all-done-yourself\">How is the content created for this website? Are you working with contributors or is it all done yourself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-appeal\">The appeal<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The first year of the site I spent much of my time writing the content, but to grow I decided to outsource this part of the business.&nbsp; To find a writer for this site, I used our own email list and found a qualified individual who was willing to take on the job.&nbsp; For as long as I can remember he has been helping me create content for the site.&nbsp; I\u2019ve been the editor for the content as well as I wanted to keep a pulse on what was being done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-time-do-you-spend-on-this-business-both-now-and-when-it-was-more-of-a-focus-for-you\">How much time do you spend on this business both now and when it was more of a focus for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it was a focus for me, I spent 100% of my time focused on it.&nbsp; This happened for the first 1.5 years in the business.&nbsp; After that, I treated it as a part-time job and focused on other projects.&nbsp; The problem now is that my other projects take up all of my time and energy and I\u2019ve neglected the site.&nbsp; I\u2019d say in a given week I probably spend 2-3 hours dealing with this site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-there-any-peculiar-rules-or-regulations-to-note-when-creating-content-or-running-a-job-board-for-former-felons\">Are there any peculiar rules or regulations to note when creating content or running a job board for former felons? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the content, I am always very careful about legal advice and always insist that the reader seek legal counsel if they\u2019d like more details.&nbsp; I was always careful with the way things were worded to not make definitive statements that could get me into legal trouble.&nbsp;&nbsp;In terms of the job board, once in a while I will get a company that asks to be pulled off of our job board and we work with our job board API provider to get them off of our platform.&nbsp; Whoever the buyer is will get this email template that has been accepted by the 5-10 companies that have asked to be pulled off our site since it started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-you-think-the-single-best-opportunity-for-revenue-growth-would-be-if-you-had-the-time-to-get-it-done\">What do you think the single best opportunity for revenue growth would be if you had the time to get it done?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to give two opportunities as one is very obvious.&nbsp; The obvious one is to revise the content.&nbsp; Most of this content hasn\u2019t been re-written in years and with some polishing up, I have no doubt many SEO rankings will increase, especially given the strength of the domain.&nbsp; The second is creating educational content and selling it to the audience.&nbsp; Many of the sites visitors are the families of those who are former felons looking to help them, if you take the time to create a training portal to help this could be very lucrative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/10743788-advertising-business?buy_sell=blog\">VIEW THE LISTING ON FLIPPA<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incredible opportunity to acquire an incredible content site in the unique niche that helps former felons re-enter the work force.
