A website focused on video game guides and walkthroughs, established in April 2011 by a former content writer, is up for sale. Covering video game FAQs, the niche site expanded its team in 2013, now operating with two individuals. It generates revenue through AdSense and sponsored content, with an additional partnership for ad optimization beginning in 2016. The site leverages Amazon and includes a news section as part of a redesign launched in September 2016.
The sale encompasses various assets: the website's VPS, domain, all published content, several social media accounts, a store, and a notable YouTube channel featuring over 7,000 videos and generating the majority of current income. The channel, with over 50,000 subscribers and nearly 29 million views, partners with a network but is not bound by contract.
The decision to sell arises from the owner refocusing efforts on two new projects. Maintenance costs are minimal, requiring only $32 monthly for server hosting. The seller emphasizes serious buyers, conducting detailed discussions post-sale and handling transactions via a secure escrow service. Terms stipulate that all associated fees are the buyer’s responsibility, and care is taken to exclude buyers with negative histories. External hard drives containing backup content are available to prospective purchasers, along with further details for vetted inquiries. The listing implies a reduced reserve price for a faster sale.
