This website serves as a platform connecting shops needing item photos with models and photographers capable of providing them. Models pay a subscription fee to be listed, receiving products from shops in exchange for photos. The site targets the work-at-home mom market, capitalizing on niches like photography, boutique sales, and child modeling. Moms enjoy free items and showcasing their children as models, while boutiques benefit from free quality photos. Established in July 2011, the site uses PHP and MySQL to meet customer needs and industry standards.
The website hosts over 200 paid-listed models and 850 boutiques registered for bookings. Subscription durations range from one month to a year, with many models renewing after expiration, ensuring a steady income. Initial marketing efforts led to rapid growth, but the site now runs with minimal intervention, averaging monthly earnings of $1300. Opportunities exist for further growth through time and marketing, especially via its 10,000-fan Facebook page and a database with 1,500 contacts.
Income is generated through subscriptions paid by credit card, processed by Stripe with no monthly fees but a per-charge cost. Hosting is maintained on a dedicated server for $250 monthly. Historical income has ranged from $1068 to $2942 monthly. The sale includes the domain, website, database, automated payment system, dedicated hosting, Facebook page, custom Mailchimp template, and ongoing support.
The founders, a husband and wife duo with experience in web development and photography, are selling to focus on new ventures. Payment is facilitated through Escrow.com.
