Profitable adult blog for sale earning $800+ a month

I am selling a profitable adult blog. The website is almost four years old. Traffic is good and income is fair and pretty steady. The site's traffic is almost entirely organic. The site ranks high for several related keywords in Google, Bing and Yahoo.

No paid traffic, no link exchanges, no social media, no advertisements, no link building, no email lists, no spam. The traffic is organic search engine, organic referral and direct only.

The site's income comes from a mix of affiliate programs and direct banner ad sales to advertisers. All income sources are reliable and steady. The site has been making money steadily for years.

Here are the last six months cash receipts:

Mar $505
Apr $584
May $654
June $943
July $1048
Aug $853

Last six months page views:

Mar 66,000
Apr 88,000
May 98,000
June 92,000
July 97,000
Aug 98,000

I realize that selling websites is not the easiest thing in the world to do, but I have done it here before. All parties were left satisfied with past arrangements. When selling adult sites there are only so many options.

I will try to answer all questions in this post, but feel free to ask any others you may have. I will not be too specific about the site in the open forum for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who has won the battle for valuable keywords.

How much does the site earn?

The total income for the last twelve months was over $4587. That's an average of $764.50. Income is trending upward. Actually income is a bit higher since I am not counting some of the smaller affiliate programs run through CCBill that pays out about $100 a month too on average, two dating programs that average of $50 a month, and Crak Revenue which is earning about $40 a month on average.

You can actually add about $100-200 to each month revenues from these programs.

How much do you want for it?

$7,600. That is around 10 times the most recent monthly earnings. It is a fair price. If this was a mainstream site I would get a lot more.

In all likelihood, the buyer will make their money back quickly and then continue on with pure profit for some time to come. The site has a good track record and no signs of slowing down.

How do I make money?

I post between one and six blog posts a month, 500 words each about porn, cams, and having sex with women in different parts of the world.

Other than that all you have to do is sit back and collect. The affiliate programs I use are all easy to sign up with. They pay monthly by PayPal. Changing my affiliate links to yours and you are ready to go. I can even do this for you if you want. Most of the money is coming from two major affiliate programs.

I will also include scheduled updates with the website. That means the website will continue to be updated with new posts monthly until the end of 2018. After that you can either let the website coast or make new posts.

There is no indication that new posts are necessary by the way. A lot of the traffic comes to the older posts that are years old. They still contain affiliate links and generate money day after day. There were times I didn't post for a month and traffic didn't fall.

I simply create new posts out of habit and in hopes of getting picked up for more keywords in the search engines.

The banner spots are sold on a monthly basis. The same advertisers have been returning month after month for a while. All you have to do is shoot them an email at the end of the month saying "hey, please send over your monthly payment to keep your banner on my website." They normally pay within 24 hours.

How much does it cost to maintain this site?

I am using an economy hosting service. I pay about $60 a year for the domain, hosting and whois privacy. You can use the same service or any other you want. The site is not resource intensive.

If you don't want to write posts yourself, you can find people to write posts for as little as $5 online. If you can't figure out what to do I might agree to write posts for you in the future for a reasonable fee.

How much does it cost to maintain this site?

I have too many sites at the moment. I am getting tired of running them all. Plus this is one of the lowest earning sites I own. I had another sex toy site earning similar and I sold it last year.

It will not kill me to lose this site either. Anyway, I am more of a site builder than an affiliate marketer. I obviously know how to do affiliate marketing but I like to build sites and test out new ideas a lot more. A site I sold here in the past went on to make way more than I ever imagined. That didn't bother me since it freed up time for me to make more sites (like the one I am selling today).

Additionally I am looking to raise some money for a bigger investment.

That said, the site is no burden to me and I am not in an emergency situation. If I cannot get an adequate amount of money, I will simply keep running the site and collecting the revenue.

How do I buy the site?

Serious buyers can request information by leaving an email address. I cannot send private messages here. I can show proof of all affiliate and traffic to people who are actually interested in making a purchase.

I don't have time for tire kickers, so please don't waste my time unless you're interested in purchasing a site like this. Thanks for looking!
