The business being described is an online home and garden blog, established in July 2019, featuring 343 blog posts. The site predominantly publishes how-to content related to home and garden improvements and is experiencing consistent growth in both traffic and earnings. During October 2020, the site generated an average monthly income exceeding $450, largely due to high traffic driven primarily from Pinterest, which accounts for 65-70% of its pageviews, with the remainder coming from organic Google searches. The current owner suggests that additional SEO efforts could significantly enhance earnings, potentially increasing them by three to four times.
Maintaining the site is relatively hands-free, with the primary task being the creation of daily Pinterest pins, which can be automated using a scheduler. The owner recommends increasing site content, implementing proper SEO, scheduling additional pins on Pinterest, and exploring affiliate marketing as avenues for growth. The blog generates revenue mainly through display advertising via a premium ad network, which offers better earnings compared to traditional services like Google AdSense.
The decision to sell arises from the owner’s focus on other projects and the intention to allocate proceeds from the sale to these ventures. Hosting is the sole ongoing cost, with suggestions provided for potential new content creation through freelance writers. The sale includes several assets like the domain, website files, Pinterest account, access to a Premium Scheduler, and an introduction to the ad network, ensuring continuity for the new owner. Some bonuses, including a list of researched keywords, are available for instant purchase. Potential buyers are expected to have established credibility on a specific platform for access to certain insights, like Google Analytics.
