The account comprises 87 books but most of the revenue is generated by only 5 to 6 of them. These books are in highly lucrative niches, specifically self-help and cookbooks, which maintain profitability throughout the year. The best-selling book was published more than a year ago, providing stable average income. Buyers will have access to a full team including writers, designers, and copywriters. Over the past year, the business accrued $60,000 in net revenue, with 70% of the earnings being organic and 95% of the operations considered passive.
The operations involve publishing books in profitable niches after conducting keyword research. The process includes selecting keywords, hiring a ghostwriter for writing, engaging a graphic designer for the cover, producing and marketing the book, and running Amazon Ads. The business's stability is evidenced by the absence of new publications for over a year, requiring minimal management time of just an hour weekly to oversee advertisements. Royalties are currently on the rise, complemented by Amazon's promotion of long-selling books.
The customer base is international, with the majority hailing from the United States, Canada, and Italy. Financially, the business has experienced significant growth recently. There exists a substantial opportunity for expansion into European markets, particularly in France, Germany, and Spain.
