I declined a $20k offer to purchase my project Job Board Search 🔎
How and why is as follows:
Thanks to advice from Pieter Levels @levelsio, 5 months ago, I included paid options. It's a board of job boards or a job board aggregator that helps job seekers.
A few retweets from Pieter helped the product get a lot of attention. It later went viral on a Reddit post and was featured on the front page of Indie Hackers.
Since day one there was immediate demand, and the sponsored slots (one payout) and listing upgrades (monthly subscriptions) were sold right away. By today, the total revenue had surpassed $5,000 which means $1k monthly revenue.
I wasn’t planning any of this but last week, a buyer who contacted me via Twitter DM made me an offer to purchase 100% of JobBoardSearch.com for $10–20,000.
Why?
Is it the best choice? Time will tell but I would love to hear your opinions as this is the first time this happens to me and I have no idea if it is really worth more or not. Here on Indie Hackers, there are founders with a lot of experience, so my questions are:
Thanks so much for reading 🙏
BTW I am building Job Board Search 🔎 in public in case you would like to follow here is my Twitter handle @rrmdp also I’ve recently started to make some posts on LinkedIn
sounds like youre doing 12k+ in yearly revenue and profit.. so 20k wouldnt be enough imo.. more like 40k.. i'd personally probably try to start marketing it and scaling it 50K+/y or so..
