Lifestyle site with travel, home, and recipe content has over 21K ranking keywords, 42 DA, and 39K backlinks, and diversified posts to earn year-round income.
A culinary and travel-focused content site was launched in March 2019, expanding its content from a blog to include Amazon buying guides and recipes. The owners are industry veterans with over a decade of experience, known for expertise, particularly in European travel. The site, which primarily focuses on Europe and Asia, is expanding into the Caribbean, Mexico, and Africa. It ranks highly on various metrics, boasting a domain authority of 42, over 21,000 keywords, and 39,000 backlinks, with 60% of traffic derived from the USA.
The site’s revenue stream is dominated by Amazon affiliate sales and Mediavine, with additional earnings from ShareASale and other programs, enjoying a 96% profit margin. It experienced a brief decline in traffic and revenue due to Google’s algorithm updates but rebounded after improvements were made. Operations transitioned from full-time dedication to a side hustle with minimal weekly involvement due to the owners taking full-time roles during COVID-19.
With a strong foundation already in place, growth opportunities are ripe through expanded content and backlink campaigns. The site could further penetrate the US travel market, engage in direct affiliate partnerships, and capitalize on diverse content year-round. The culinary site comes with an additional related domain and is ideal for those willing to invest full-time effort or with institutional resources. The owners offer post-sale support for a seamless transition and note that the generic domain allows for potential content diversification.
