Outdoor Site Case Studies
We acquired a website in the outdoor vertical in May 2020 for $23,000 at a 75X multiple. We cover the ins and outs of our growth strategies every single month.
We share the highlights and the setbacks. No fluff. Actionable content guaranteed.
In April 2020, the asset was purchased for $23,000 from the Flippa marketplace. The site at the time was earning $300 per month on average of the trailing 6-months. The site was receiving 100,000 pageviews per month on average. We saw immediate opportunities for easy wins that would significantly grow the website.
We currently manage and are growing this website. The site is in a seasonal niche thus the dropdown in revenue during the winter months. The site is monetized via Amazon Associates, private affiliate networks, CPA-based networks, and display advertisements. We have more than 20 revenue streams.
