The business, established in 2014, is a digital music marketplace specializing in the sale of music tracks with commercial licenses for media use, such as YouTube projects and TV ads. It boasts over 10,000 tracks available for licensing, with an average order value of $30. The business has achieved steady growth without spending on paid marketing, relying instead on its strong social media presence, particularly on YouTube and Soundcloud, to acquire customers. Despite its modest marketing efforts, it enjoys a negligible refund rate and approximately 10% repeat customers.
The business was started by a passionate musician and a programmer friend, operating with a streamlined sales process and unique features to facilitate growth. The site offers automated order fulfillment, instant delivery, and a unique affiliate program. The sale of the business is motivated by the owner's desire to focus on their personal music career, hinting at significant growth potential under new management, especially if the buyer has expertise in online marketing.
The owner suggests the business is ideal for an investor or someone with a strong marketing acumen who can elevate its potential. The current operational tasks, requiring about 10-15 hours weekly, involve reviewing new tracks, managing social media, and customer communications. The owner and developer are willing to maintain the business for three months post-sale as part of the transfer package. Assets include customer databases, contracts, social media accounts, and website content, with a 50/50 non-exclusive revenue share with artists. Post-sale support is provided to facilitate a smooth transition.
