Selling Abandoned SEO Business ($940K revenue those last few years)

Hey everyone,

I have shifted my focus from SEO to paid advertising a few years ago and completely abandoned all my SEO businesses.

One of them was called TheLeadingArticles and you can find it here:

http://www.theleadingarticles.com/

I had started this business in December 2009, it took 8 months to take off, but then went on to make more than $15,000 per month for 26 consecutive months (all from free traffic).

At its peak it was making more than $40,000 per month.

At the end of 2012, I stopped promoting it, updating it etc... and it has continued to make me passive income since then. It has declined a lot of course, as it's completely left alone, but this year it still made me an average of $750 in revenue per month (expenses are minimum: just hosting and text to speech service).

This is revenue from the site alone, I'm not even promoting anything to the email subscribers/customers as I do not have any interest in the SEO niche anymore.

The list is composed of around 4,600 customers (most of them recurring customers) and around 5,000 prospects for a total of 10k+ people in the SEO niche. In the past, I of course promoted to them and the results were very good - like mid 5 figure profits in just days when I sent good email promos (yes, 5 figure promos from just 10,000 people).

Here's the breakdown of monthly revenue since the service started, to this day:

What is included:

theleadingarticles.com and all its assets and private software (auto blog poster etc)
all existing articles
hosting account
text to speech API account
1 month transition support via skype

All our articles can be transformed into unique videos (with text to speech technology) with 1 single mouse click.

I would recommend the new owner to hire a programmer to make this tool extensible to ALL articles (not only the ones in our database). This is a very small change to our existing tool and will be cheap - You could sell this as a separate service (video creation from customers' articles) - that one thing alone would re-launch this business.

Check our website to look at video and article samples: http://www.theleadingarticles.com

I'm NOT looking to sell this for an exorbitant price - I mainly want to give a new birth to a once-thriving business by handing it over to someone interested in SEO.

PM me your offers (I'll also consider partnership offers)

Hello VitaVee,

Could you share the reasons as to why you are stepping away from SEO?

Hello Idriss

I stopped relying on SEO quite some time ago already. I prefer paid traffic because it's more scalable and faster.
