A digital business founded in 2018 enables customers to purchase Likes and Followers through a fully automated process, facilitated by a partnership with a supplier. Initially, customers were acquired through advertising, but this ceased a year ago. Nevertheless, the site maintains a high visibility, ranking second on search engines for "Instagram likes." Revenue is generated from selling these digital engagement services.
The current owner is selling the business due to legal restrictions on selling Likes and Followers in their home country. They hope a buyer from another region, where such practices are legal, will continue its operation. The ideal buyer would have programming skills, as the business requires periodic updates to its scraping API due to changes in Instagram's platform—an issue encountered thrice in the past year.
The business includes assets such as custom technology, domains, relevant email accounts, social media followers, vendor contacts, and the website's files, source code, and content. Specifically, its Instagram account boasts 11K followers. Post-sale support will also be provided to facilitate a smooth transition for the new owner. The seller views the continuation of the business by someone else as preferable to shutting it down completely.
