An individual is selling a finance news network consisting of three websites, all indexed in Google News and Google Finance, achieving a notable profit of over $55k in net profit from July 2016 to June 2017. This network includes NewsOracle, NewBurghPress, and FactsReporter, with net profits for July 2017 exceeding $5k. Revenue verification is provided through multiple formats, including detailed PDFs and YouTube videos. The websites are monetized primarily through Adsense (90%), with additional income from Content.ad, Dianomi, and AdClerks. The seller is not the original owner but has optimized adsense units and developed mobile apps for the websites since acquiring them in January 2017. The platforms operate on WordPress and are hosted by LiquidWed, which doesn't necessarily need changing after purchase.
The seller plans to invest in a new startup, hoping to pass these websites to someone experienced who can maintain or grow this passive income. The business structure is supported by a writing team that produces 400 articles daily, spread across the three sites. Despite being a stable source of passive income, there's room for growth through increased content frequency, expanded social media presence, multilingual content, and enhanced SEO efforts. There have been no search engine penalties, and revenue and expenses are thoroughly documented. Buyers will receive the domain, websites, apps, social media accounts, and brand rights, with a promise of 1-3 months of post-sale support. The network has seen consistent revenue, although February to April experienced a temporary dip due to posting fewer articles.
