An anonymized business is offering a network of 10 family-friendly websites for auction, accessible after prior phone communication. The network includes a custom-built pre-roll advertising system compatible with third-party networks and AdSense, generating half of its revenue through VAST/VPAID compliant ads. Most sites have unique WordPress themes, with the network's framework heavily customized. Current revenue streams include pre-roll ads and a centralized ad management system for non-video ads, serving 29 advertisers. High editorial standards are maintained, requiring 2-4 hours of management daily. Hosting costs $390 monthly, with additional $30 for a CDN and $67 for optional software.
The auction, conducted on an external platform, spans 30 days with specific phases for bidder interactions and walkthroughs via GoTo Meeting. The seller initially used this venture as a testing ground for its advertising system over two years, but due to time constraints, seeks to transfer ownership. The transaction process is quick and meticulously documented, ensuring smooth transfer of ownership and resources. The seller provides training and access to resources like social media pages and a 900-subscriber email list. Interested parties can contact the seller through a dedicated phone number to discuss bids and participate in the sale process.
