~$1 from adsense

Ways to make money:

Front page sponser links $3-5/month. New PR3.
Hire someone to write a moola guide and charge for downloading it.

Forum Software:
SMF 1.1 RC2
Custom template (themed to accent Moola.com's colour scheme)
Custom professional logo
Ad management mod installed. (allows you to control ad placement like on VB forums. header, footer, menu, after first post etc)
Arcade Installed (over 100 games).
Portal installed to add articles and other modules.

Ranks high for all moola search terms: moola invites, moola forum, moola strategy. Little has been done to SEO the forum but much can be done to boost additional keywords.

Reason for selling: I've had fun with moola but I have a lot of other projects that I'd like to spend time on. The forum itself is definately bumping, with a lot of repeat visitors and new users signing up all the time. With some tender love and care, you can really take this forum to the next level, I personally think it's there.

As you can see the site is unique in that it has almost entirely American visitors (Obviously good for YPN) and the biggest referrer is Google. The site design is semi-unique in that it uses the same layout as the default installation, but the graphics and colour scheme are unique to compliment Moola.com.

I have yet to put up a lot of ads because I neither have had the time to manage them and I thought that it would take a little from the site as a whole. I know a lot of forums that get cluttered with ads and it's really loses it's unique feel.

The only time I spend updating the site is about 2 minutes a day to check the Moola.com payout amount and post it in the news section and look at the new member stats.

It's an auction and I'll start the bidding at $300. I'm not expecting a lot from the site and obviously am not placing the value on the revenue but rather the solid foundation it is to build a community of. I'll let it run for 7 days or until I see a bid that makes sense.

As always, if you have any questions please ask.

Starting Bid: $300
BIN: $1000

 

Great site, can you let us know how the system of Moola works? For example on your homepage, it says " *NEW* July Posting Contest: The forum member that makes the most post for this month will WIN $10! Start discussing!". Do you pay out this $10? Be interested to find out how it all works etc...

Many thanks,

Matt

 

Hello Mattriz,

The contest that you speak of is just for the forum to encourage posting, it has worked pretty well in the past and we will pay out this last months best poster/arcade champ so you don't have to worry about that.

Moola the game itself is awesome, you can learn more about it in the forum or by visiting the site at www.moola.com . There is a thread that explains the game itself and if you need an invite there are plenty in the invite thread on the forum.

Thanks!

 

Any interested?

 

Yeah I'm interested for sure, lets discuss offline. PM me and we can talk more.

Matt

 

Sounds good. I will pm you today.

 

About a month back I was looking to sell but the deal fell through. I have held on to it, made a few updates and the site is bigger than ever. I'm looking to sell now as I am entering my last year of college and would like to spend time on other endeavors.
