A business focusing on selling iOS icons is being offered for sale. It currently hosts a collection of 3000 icons across 35 categories, available in various formats. Potential revenue improvements could be made by adding more icons, which freelancers can create at a low cost. The business is part of a network of three websites that have historically generated substantial income but now require updates. The model includes offering free icon downloads to generate leads, with paid licenses priced between $49 and $99, managed through a third party that also handles file hosting. Marketing so far has been minimal, with most sales stemming from organic growth and small promotional efforts. Sales are enhanced through deal websites, with occasional email campaigns using a Mailchimp list.
A prospective buyer will receive full ownership of three domains, along with customer and email lists, digital products, and accounts that contribute to revenue, including platforms like Creative Market and MightyDeals. There is also an app available that requires further development. The seller recommends improvements in marketing and SEO to increase revenue and suggests that regular newsletters and an extended license offering could be beneficial. The sale includes social media accounts, with Facebook and Pinterest profiles. The seller seeks to divest from the business to fund unrelated ventures and offers support post-sale. The business requires minimal time investment per week and does not necessitate design skills, with operational focus on customer queries and freebie creation.
