Building a business based on the concept of free classified ads — a highly profitable investment, proven by the long-standing success of market giants like «Iz Ruk v Ruki» (Hand to Hand) or «Avito».
A market participant urgently needing to sell their product or service is willing to pay a relatively modest amount to achieve a quick and optimal result: attracting customers through classified ads posted on the website. Offering exclusive services — such as placing an ad in the highest available position among similar listings — benefits both the seller and the website owner: the seller moves their product or service, while the site owner earns revenue from the provided services.
How much does it cost to build a classified ads website?
There is no single answer to this question. In theory, you could download a ready-made classifieds platform (as an OpenSource solution) and install it on your hosting — this is what 99% of people attempting to launch their own «bulletin board» do. The result is yet another generic, unwanted website that, with 99% probability, will eventually shut down due to lack of demand and user interest, as it will be virtually identical to countless other resources built on the same «engine». However, if you want a product that stands out from others in this niche, consider the following:
- Hiring developers to build a classifieds platform «from scratch» will cost approximately 250—300 thousand RUB per month in salary for just one developer.
- When it comes to major classifieds platforms like «Avito», development and maintenance costs approach truly astronomical figures.
