A 15-year old named Hansup Yoon created ZuneBoards.com months before Microsoft launched its competitor to the iPod in 2006. "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," he said.
Yoon built the site with MyBBoard and later shifted to VBulletin in Joomla. In just two years, ZuneBoards grew to 60,000 users and 270,000 posts, all about Zune, earning $1,000 a month in adsense and TribalFusion.
Yoon sold ZuneBoards at Sitepoint.com for $62,000 to CrowdGather, a company who already had 70 message boards mainly used for internet advertising. [Source]
