The owner of a website specializing in a guide for a newly launched video game is selling the site, including its current subscribers, due to a need for capital to fund a new project. The game, "Star Wars: The Old Republic," launched in December, and the site has the potential for expansion to boost sales with proper time investment. The site is expected to generate over $35,000 in the coming year without requiring further maintenance, yet the owner is willing to sell it for less to quickly obtain cash.
The purchase includes a Clickbank account with 400 active monthly-paying subscribers, a hosting account with all website files and graphics, a personally authored game credits guide, and full rights to all product content and branding. Interested buyers are encouraged to ask questions, which the owner promises to address promptly.
The business operates on a subscription model with an expected increasing monthly revenue, illustrating profitability growth from $326 in December 2011 to an estimated $3,400 in March 2012. The guide sells for a $17 monthly subscription, yielding approximately $14.70 per sale post Clickbank's commission. Traffic to the site primarily stems from affiliates generating over 200 clicks daily. While the site currently does not use advertising, the possibility to bolster sales through paid advertising exists for potential buyers.
