The business in question was established in May 2007 and functions as a membership site aimed at individuals interested in list-making. It offers monthly and yearly subscription plans, providing access to a wide array of printable lists and management features. There are two membership tiers: Basic and Pro, with Pro Members receiving additional benefits such as weekly emails, links to lists, a monthly calendar, and seasonal eBooks or ePlanners. The primary customer demographic is women aged 30 to 65. As part of the sale, the business includes its digital assets, a substantial email list, and a significant social media presence spread across platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. The business model is subscription-based, ensuring a stable recurring revenue stream. The lack of physical products means distribution costs are minimal.
The owner is selling the business due to a belief that they have reached the limit of what they can achieve and a desire to focus on other commitments. The business earns revenue through memberships and sales of eBooks through its sister sites. Pricing varies for different membership and eBook plans. The current owner invests about 20 hours weekly in managing the business alongside freelancers who handle blogging, social media management, and SEO tasks. Communication with freelancers is managed through an online platform, with payments made weekly.
The website operates on WordPress and is hosted by a specific hosting service. The outgoing owner is willing to sign a non-compete agreement, and there are no geographical constraints for potential buyers, as the customer base is global with a focus in the US, Australia, and the UK. The business holds no physical inventory or intellectual property, ensuring a straightforward handover process upon sale.
