Offering Selling my business: 3 adult websites & much more

[Aerosly]

The time has come to consider selling the online business I have run for nearly 20 years.

About the Business
This business is a private, online VIP club with a number of offerings but focused on a handful of adult sites. I have built the business since 2005, and am selling full ownership and assets. With the purchase, you will get:

- Three (3) independently functioning adult websites accessible from within the portal
- More than 1,000 unique/exclusive custom-produced videos produced weekly since 2005
- Fully developed online portal
- Approximately 35 domain names (numerous subdomains already established)
- Two (2) subscription box websites and all associated assets
- One coffee vendor website (with supplier account)
- Online chat portals (adult and mainstream), messaging forums, etc.
- Retro "BBS" system (currently up and running via telnet and http on a subdomain)
- Two social media sites
- Several forums
- Business Services website and portal (all the features of the main portal MINUS the adult content)
- Corporate benefits/group-buying discount service (you will get established relationship with our provider)
- Professional subscription management system (aMember updated in 2020, lifetime license)
- Established blog (updated by an inexpensive but competent contract employee)
- Various hardware including cameras, laptop, promotional materials, inventory, etc. (valued around $1k - $2500)
- Integrated email automation
- Existing social media presence with followers - Existing LLC filed with state of Florida
- Business bank account
- All user profiles, active subscriptions, transfer of business bank accounts, branding, logos, corporate goodwill, etc.

The Financials
Business bank account includes about $750, there is no business debt.
I'm currently spending $0 in marketing because I haven't been promoting the site. Still, organic revenue is around $750/month
2022 revenues of $8,187.75 (shown in the screenshot) Processing through Stripe

More Information
This business has been my passion project for almost two decades, and has served me well. I just don't have the focus to run it anymore and am looking to transition it to the right person who can help it thrive.

I have worked hard to ensure the most professional interface, portal, and overall operation. I'm willing to negotiate on price, but looking for reasonable offers.

Please contact me for more details or to schedule a time to review the financials, user management system, reports, etc. Email is aerosly (at) gmail

From the $8200 in revenue, how much are the monthly costs to keep all of this running?

How much time is needed in monthly upkeep?

How much of the revenue is monthly recurring and how much is single purchases?

Are there any monthly fixed income from any type of sponsorship or fixed ad sales?

1. Monthly costs right now are minimal:
(2) Shared hosting accounts @ around $15/each
(1) VPS account at about $25 (I got a really good deal years ago and locked it in)
(3) Domain renewals (on average, about three domains a month renew) @ $12/each
(1) Bitrix.24 account for CMS, invoicing, front-end websites, etc @ $60/month
(1) Digital billboard running late at night on Blip averages around $10/month
Miscellaneous licenses, etc. that are normal for any business

Recurring monthly costs are under $150/month. Pre-Covid, I was paying about $100 for three custom videos that I produced myself and edited on my iPhone. Post-Covid, I shifted production to the Philippines and was paying $100 for four videos, all custom produced and exclusive. The exclusive content is the biggest expense, but over the course of a video's lifetime, each video generates about a 500% return.

Also, the coffee brand is dropship, and there's a $10/month membership fee with the producer.

2. Time in monthly upkeep is marginal right now because my focus has shifted and I'm only responding to inquiries when they come in rather than proactively marketing or investing in the business.

When I was maintaining the site regularly and marketing it, I would spend about two hours a week on content and about four hours a week on marketing, answering inquiries, writing blog posts, etc. This, of course, can vary up or down depending on how much time you want to spend on marketing and analyzing the metrics.

3. Revenue is more weighted toward recurring purchases.

Of the $8k in 22, $2,885.99 was in one-time purchases from the clip store (138 orders at an average of just over $21). There were a marginal number (<$500) of purchases for coffee memberships, travel vouchers, etc. The remainder was in recurring membership charges.

4. I'm not currently running ads or sponsorships.
The business is so broad that ads I run are for my own offerings. Coffee ads from the coffee brand, ads for the subscription box sites, etc. There is a tremendous opportunity for ads and sponsorships, but I never explored them because my model was to keep as much in-house as possible.

The exception is the CheapTriXXX.com tube site, which is free and runs some ads. Ads are not my thing, though, so I never really checked in on them. From my perspective, the purpose of that site is to create traffic for the larger meembership site.

It depends on which ones you’re interested in. I merged them all into a single portal a few years ago, so most of the membership sites share the same architecture, membership management software, etc. so are hard to split out. I’d be willing to separate some sites individually if they’re easy to split off, though.
