The owner of a design and inspiration blog established in May 2010 is putting their website up for sale. The blog, which recently resumed posting content, is seeing a surge in traffic and has potential for increased revenue. The site is monetized through several streams including Google Adsense, TechnoratiMedia, BuySellAds, WordPress Theme affiliations, paid reviews, and paid links, generating over $1,450 in monthly revenue. However, the owner notes that some income projections are not included in this figure. They suggest that a new owner could focus on reviewing WordPress themes for consistent revenue, leverage paid promotions targeted at young photographers, and improve CPM network participation for higher earnings through AdSense.
The sale includes the premium domain, all site files, social media accounts with tens of thousands of followers combined, and migration support. Current expenses are minimal as the site can be hosted on a small shared server. The website promotes artists by featuring their work and has faced no copyright issues, attributing the previous traffic drop to inactivity. The primary traffic source remains reliable, with no penalties from Google updates impacting the site.
The asking price is $29,900, though the owner is willing to negotiate and has set a reserve price of $10,000, suggesting an opportunity for an enthusiastic entrepreneur to enhance and capitalize on the website’s potential.
