Hansup Yoon, 15, has sold ZuneBoards, an Internet forum devoted to Microsoft’s Zune media player, for $62,000.
The teen, who recently moved from Irvine to Fullerton, created the site months before Microsoft introduced its answer to Apple’s iPod in 2oo6.han-yoon.jpg
“It was the most perfect time to start a Web site about Zune and I was one of the first few to create a Zune-related site,” Yoon told me in an exchange of e-mails.
Yoon built the site himself using (free) MyBBoard software, later shifting to vBulletin and Joomla! (See a screen grab of ZuneBoards below.) In less than two years it grew to 60,000 members and more than 270,000 posts, all about Zune. It has been making about $1,000 a month from Google Adsense and TribalFusion, both with tools that place ads that are relevant to a Web site’s visitors.
