    I'd need to look at the books

    No, otherwise shareholders will demand more blood from the stone.

    • AngusD on 07/02/2022 - 16:22

      But if you buy the shares then you're a shareholder and you can demand less blood from the stone.

        You'll always be outvoted by institutional investors.

          Not if you buy more! More! MORE!

      More like the (discounted) RM Williams investors.

    No, Ozbargain is mainly funded through Affiliate revenue. Just like Shopback and Cashrewards they're totally at the mercy of the affiliate percentage retailers give them. If affiliates stop paying then no more revenue…

    • KaTst3R on 07/02/2022 - 15:47

      The whole Affiliate marketing business model is banging on the fact that there will be more and more start ups which needs 3rd party partnership to help spread the word. This should be your target market and where the Affiliate revenue stream comes from. Once a new company becomes large, it is natural they stop paying affiliate fees, then move on to the next group of start ups. Keep cycling.

      It is quite crowded in this space, but nothing is stopping OZB being next the Honey.

      Ozbargain is mainly funded through Affiliate revenue

      That's incorrect.

      • Logged in users never get served with an affiliate link.
      • Many of non-logged in users also use cashback, so sales don't get attributed to OzBargain.
      • Being a community site, our hands are tied and aren't able to do what the advertisers ask us to do.

      OzBargain is mainly funded through display ads / banner ads, which has its own problem, i.e. adblockers.

      • stirlo on 07/02/2022 - 18:13

        Interesting. I have ads turned off in my profile (and use an adblocker) but I never bother with cashback so I always assumed ozbargain got something from my purchases.

        Honestly you should have an option for logged in users to use OzBargain affiliate links. I’m happy to give a tiny bit of money here rather than whatever dodgy website was the last to fill my browser with affiliate cookies…

          I'd also be happy for ozbargain to get my referral dollars.

          I think only a tiny minority wants to opt into affiliate links. Moreover I'm not worrying about our revenue. We make enough. It has been flat for a few years now but as I don't really have any grand future expansion/growth plan, our revenue can easily cover all our existing expenses + a bit more.

        Thank you Scotty for doing this! I run an adblocker, but because you give me the option to turn ads off, and I get value from the site, I disable it for Ozbargain and leave ads on in my profile. It's really refreshing UX practice, and I hope it takes off in more places!

      Ozb should sign up to Gather for some revenue other than ads. https://gather.network/

  • Stopback on 07/02/2022 - 15:24

    Ozbargain is really around twenty people who post good deals.

    Another site could lure them and basically slowly drain all the people.

    Also don't really see any growth. Kinda maxed.

    • rektrading on 07/02/2022 - 15:48

      🧛 👊

    • SlickMick on 08/02/2022 - 12:45

      I think Ozbargain is far bigger than that. I notice totally different communities in different types of bargains or forum threads.

      But I could never invest in a website. People are fickle and will move on to something new. I'm surprised facebook lasted so long.

    who owns this website and how much annual income do you estimate they earn from it?

    • SBOB on 07/02/2022 - 18:55

      All finances are available for viewing for ozb platinum members.

        I didn't realise it was a big secret. Everyone knows who owns Whirpool and Property Chat and income estimates have been calculated in the past

          I didn't realise it was a big secret.

          It's not. The owner of this site has posted in this very thread.

            @brendanm: how much do you think he earns from this website? A poster below is talking $500-800k gross revenue a month (not net profit)

            • brendanm on 07/02/2022 - 20:23

              @[Deactivated]: Well, if a random on the internet said it, it must be true!

    • zoombie on 07/02/2022 - 20:04

      I reckon $500k to $800k revenue per month. Not joking. The site is one of the most visited site in Australia. Similarweb estimate it to get about 25m visitors per month, it's ranked 55th and 2818th visited site in Australia and the world respectively. The community is super sticky. On top of the bargain, the forum is extremely active.

  • raptormesh on 07/02/2022 - 19:00

    Only if i can join ozb royalty.

  • BuyoTheCat on 07/02/2022 - 21:04

    I suggest investing in OZB when someone was asking about investing $100K

    I would invest in OZB, not to profit, but to show my support. They even give decent amount of money to charity at the end of every year.

    I dont have much money though. I will probably be able to afford just 1 or 2 share

  • JIMB0 on 08/02/2022 - 08:01

    If they open platinum membership to more people they could make a fortune considering how much they charge.

  • popsiee on 08/02/2022 - 08:26

    Scotty please start a crypto currency with a great promotion team and I'll be on the ride with yah .

    • techlead on 08/02/2022 - 14:48

      Scotty will be available after May. I reckon he will quit Parliarment alltogether after the Coalition gets crushed at the next federal election.
