The business in question offers a WordPress plugin that excelled as a leading product in the Email Marketing category on a prominent platform earlier this year. Taken over in early 2012, the company achieved over $102,000 in gross revenue and $43,000 in net profit within six months. It operates primarily on affiliate-driven traffic and provides opportunities for substantial growth. The sales process is automated with a highly optimized funnel, showcased through videos accessible upon request.
Key assets included in the sale are the domain, product source code, customer and affiliate lists, sales funnel, affiliate sequences, and a documented support system with trained staff. With over 5,700 subscribers, 556 affiliates, and 1,560 customers, the business presents substantial opportunities for leveraging existing lists to generate more revenue. Cost-efficient operations include minimal expenses for support staff, hosting, and mailing list services, totaling less than $250 per month.
The decision to sell stems from the owners' need to focus on other ventures, and the business has been operating on passive income since its initial promotional period. The potential buyer can explore opportunities in SEO and paid traffic, tapping into the broader WordPress community. The business is priced under a typical industry multiple, providing a lucrative opportunity for buyers. The prospective buyer can request walk-through videos to gain further insight into the operation and strategy. Personal introductions to key partners provide additional value, enhancing the investment's worth.
