An individual is selling a portion of their online business, initially formed with a partner. The business, which requires no dedicated website to operate, involves affiliate marketing and content creation using a skilled team of content writers employed by the owner. Initially, the owner sought to sell the business due to urgent financial needs and is currently in negotiation with another prospective buyer.
Two years prior, this individual and their partner had established a successful outsourcing company, which was later sold due to an irresistible offer. Post-sale, they created a new business focusing on affiliate marketing, leveraging cheap and qualified labor. To expand, five employees were hired; these employees are highly educated and trained in content writing.
The business model included selling pre-written content in PLR packages and leasing writers to other parties. While four of their seven marketing campaigns were successful, three employees remained underutilized. Consequently, these employees were deployed in article marketing, producing surplus content sold through online platforms.
Recently, successful campaigns were sold under non-compete terms, prompting the owners to decide to sell the remaining business and assets. The sale includes contracts for two leased employees, two article marketing campaigns, and full training. Current revenues are reported as $2,850 monthly, with profits of $2,330 after employee costs.
Potential buyers can earn through various methods, such as leasing employees or reselling content, with market research underscores the ease of finding clients and potential earnings. The seller offers proof of income and leased arrangements to qualified buyers, emphasizing that they will only answer inquiries privately via messaging due to the secure nature of the transaction.
