The website, set up on a simple WordPress and Thrive template, has been generating between $700 and $1,600 AUD per month over the past year, with historic peaks of $4,000 to $6,000 AUD monthly in 2020. This revenue primarily comes from affiliate marketing, leveraging 539 high-quality articles, many featuring Amazon Associates Australia links offering earnings of up to 12%. Created in 2018, the website's content investment was about $20,000 AUD, mainly using local Australian writers, leading to over 350 monetized articles. The site's earnings have dipped and risen due to factors like the May 2020 core update and fluctuating interests in affiliate marketing.
To transition ownership, buyers need to be Australian residents with an ABN, as the domain transfer requires local residency. An alternative involves an overseas company setting up an ACN with a local director. Although the website’s Amazon account isn’t included, a virtual assistant can be hired to update affiliate links. The ideal buyer is an Australian looking to jumpstart an affiliate website or a local company wanting to expand their online portfolio effortlessly.
SEO has been consistently optimized using Rank Math, and the potential for growth remains by enhancing content and updating expired links. Post-sale support includes assistance with website and domain transfer. Although recent revenues dipped, potential improvements could restore higher earnings. This opportunity suits those familiar with the Australian business environment, particularly individuals or companies willing to undertake site updates and expand its audience, ensuring stable passive income.
