What\u2019s your background? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I own a digital marketing agency, mainly focusing on SEO. I went off on my own about a year ago after working at 2 prior digital marketing agencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I built this site from scratch about a year and a half ago. I used to do my own outreach, but it took too much of my time and I really didn\u2019t enjoy it, so I started purchasing links from reputable vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I dumped over $16k into the site between content and links, and the traffic can easily be doubled by focusing on 2-3 pages that have high volume terms at the bottom of page 1 and top of page 2 of Google search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got it to the point in which it\u2019s starting to make decent money, but I just don\u2019t feel like putting even more money into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have you marketed this site at all or is it 100% SEO driven?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is 100% SEO driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is content currently being created for the site? Is that you or is it being outsourced? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I stopped creating content about 6 months ago, but I was outsourcing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge opportunity for the new owner would be to continue adding content to the site, or appending blog posts that are already ranking well to increase their conversion rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much time does it take to run the business, who else is needed on the team, and what is automated? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as you want to spend on it. I haven\u2019t touched the site in months. If I were to continue, I would just buy links and content. You can also build your own links and write your own content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you list a few opportunities for a potential new owner to continue growing the business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1) There are some Amazon affiliate links. Switch those out to higher paying affiliate programs and you will have already made the site more profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) CRO (conversion rate optimization) &#8211; This site has more than enough traffic to use heatmapping software and drive more revenue that way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) As mentioned before, there a good amount of terms at the bottom of page 1, top of page 2 of Google that can easily double the site&#8217;s traffic if fine tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/10630604-advertising-home-and-garden?buy_sell=blog\">VIEW THE LISTING ON FLIPPA<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catworld is a 1 year old blog that is on a steady up trend.
