The website in question operates on a WordPress platform with optimized hosting for $25 per month, supplemented by the free version of Cloudflare to manage traffic. Content for the site is created by freelance journalists at a rate of $30-50 per article, requiring 2-3 hours of work weekly. Additional operations include revenue and ROI calculation, article orders, and Facebook scheduling. The sale includes a Facebook page with 18K followers, engaged through site plugins, and the established website domain. The business utilizes a traffic arbitrage model, monetized via ad networks like Adsense and Taboola. It involves minimal weekly input, rendering it almost autopilot with 3-4 hours needed to optimize traffic weekly. The site offers growth opportunities through potential affiliate offers and optimization of ad placements and traffic purchasing, with some owners making $50K monthly. A consulting session explaining the model is part of the sale. It hosts 44K monthly visits and ranks with Alexa.com at 27K. Established in April 2015, it has evolved rapidly after its first three months. The original owner aims to sell the business to focus on a new project. The package includes transfer of all written content, without a customer database or social media URLs. There are no geographical restrictions for potential buyers, although the existing business model involves purchased traffic from platforms like Taboola or Content.ad. The owner is unwilling to sign a 3-year non-compete contract. The business leverages social media marketing, notably through its active Facebook page.
