The magazine business, known here as "Rockstar Magazine," is a national brand that has been in print since August 2013. The publisher and CEO has extensive experience, with over 175 monthly magazines published in an 18-year career. The magazine, which has released 42 editions in Austin, Texas, became a secondary focus as efforts shifted fully to developing another publication focused on sports since 2018. This change resulted in reduced sales for the music and entertainment magazine. The business primarily generates revenue through print advertising, though there is potential for digital expansion. Despite a significant $500,000 in advertising revenue over six years, the company's digital revenue remains underdeveloped—something a new owner could potentially grow. The owner is selling the magazine to concentrate on the sports publication, which has been more financially rewarding. The business is perfect for any digital or print publishing company or record label looking to expand its brand into the music and entertainment sector. The cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Austin are considered ideal markets for this business. Post-sale support will be provided by the current owner, who is seasoned in magazine publishing. Assets included in the sale are brand assets, marketing materials, social media accounts, and website files. On social media, the magazine has 4,000 Facebook followers, 1,000 Twitter followers, and 100 Instagram followers.
