10-Year-Old Entertainment & Pop Culture News Content Business
Business Description
Partial SBA | 41 Million Annual Pageviews
This business presents an opportunity to own one of the go-to spots for entertainment and pop culture news. It targets engaged 18–44-year-old fans who are highly engaged online, making it an ideal demographic for advertisers in related industries. Over the past 12 months, the website has received over 41 million pageviews, a growth of 24% from the previous period.
The majority of revenue comes from Mediavine ads. However, the business also receives a good chunk from its 4.5 million followers via Facebook Content Monetization.
The website has been around since 2015 and has built strong search engine authority with over 17K referring domains, including The New York Times, Variety, Rotten Tomatoes, and The Hollywood Reporter. The whole operation is run with three contractors, with the seller spending 3–5 hours per day overseeing content publishing and monitoring performance. With the high revenue, a new owner has the flexibility to hire additional help to lessen the workload. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want.
This business is perfect for any lover of films, TV, and pop culture with solid writing and editing skills. It is also a great opportunity for anyone with a growing media portfolio looking to add a new niche. Likewise, someone who already has a large presence on YouTube for these topics, looking to expand to written content, could immediately increase their reach.
The seller wants to focus on other creative projects. He is ready to help a new owner with the transition and get them settled quickly and confidently. The business is simple to operate, and the seller is willing to be available during a transition period to answer any questions.
Key Benefits:
Diversified Ad Revenue: Mediavine makes up 75% of ad revenue, Facebook accounts for 23%, and Zergnet brings in 2%.
Low Operating Overhead: Operations are streamlined, with just three contractors and minimal fixed costs.
Long-Term Continuity: One contractor has been with the business since 2016.
No Mailing List: With the website's current traffic, this is a clear path to grow engagement and resiliency.
