What\u2019s your background? How did you start the business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hi, this is Binod, And I&#8217;ve been into building websites and internet marketing since 2003. I used to deal a lot with social traffic, particularly Facebook, between 2010-2014. This is when I started this business. I was amazed by how BuzzFeed, boredpanda were all going viral and I wanted to build something similar. Which I did and I&#8217;ve had this business for over 7 years now.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>How have you marketed the product and where are your customers originating from?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All the traffic is from Facebook, I&#8217;ve invested some money back in 2014-2015 but 90% of all the fans are organic and very engaging.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the asset on your listing owner-operated, how much time does it take to run the business, who else is needed on the team, and what is automated?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Yes, when I was actively working on the site, I did it myself. But now I have a VA who writes and runs the site. The site is almost completely automated and can be run with only about $500 in expenses for a VA and hosting fees.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>What does someone need to do to continue operating the business in its current form?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Not much, just train a VA with the workflow. The VA needs good written and research skills, the rest is all on autopilot.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you list a few opportunities for a potential new owner to continue growing the business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Certainly, actively working on the site can help increase traffic; just this month, revenue has averaged around $600 per day.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, you can try to get into other premium ad networks such as mediavine and adthrive, which can almost double your rpm.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you can create videos, there are a lot of opportunities out there.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does this business make money? What are the current revenue streams?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\nMakes for display ads, I use adsense and ezoic. \n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>What marketing channels are most profitable for the business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>There is no need to further market this business. It&#8217;s already a steady passive income source. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the business currently acquire customers and what is your breakdown for marketing costs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s only 2 expense, one hosting\/domain, another 1 VA.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is your current team? How many people does it take to run this business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\nJust 1 VA.\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the reason for selling your business on Flippa?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been almost 7-8 years since I&#8217;ve had this business, and I think I&#8217;m ready to let it go. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/11006248-an-8-year-old-entertainment-project-that-made-a-lot-of-money-with-absolutely-no-effort-and-expenses-generates-over-us-9-000-each-month-in-profit\">VIEW THE LISTING ON FLIPPA<\/a>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us a little about yourself.
