Business Description

I you like books you are going to love this! Since its launch, this established website has been used as a platform for publishing and distributing free digital literature on behalf of independent authors.

The site is now perfectly positioned to enjoy improved performance in its current form or as a scalable business in any related field.

While the site has been developed and run purely as a sideline, it does generate steady monthly income from display advertising.

User acquisition is predominantly via organic search, closely followed by direct (brand) traffic. Hardly any spend on marketing has been made throughout the site’s history. You may appreciate how quickly you or your team could increase traffic and revenue substantially by using SEO, SEM and SMM. Content has always been human written, not AI-generated.
