#19 - A Newsletter With 96,000 developers For Sale π
π Hey fam!
Welcome to all the new people who have joined last week!
Really excited for this weeks business round up!
In this weekβs issue:
π° Newsletter - 1 listing
π eCommerce - 2 listings
Letβs explore!
Estimated Reading Time = 5 minutes
π Startup Spotlight
Discover profitable startups and side-projects.
π° Asking Price: $155,000
The most popular email newsletter for designers and developers.
Type: Newsletter
β Key Highlights
$43,000 in TTM revenue
$38,000 in TTM profit
$3,800 in revenue last month
$3,550 in profit last month
Over 102k in subscribers
π Growth Opportunities
Promote services/products: Look at pushing services or products around tech & web development. Something that I think would work well would be a web/app development agency purchasing this and pushing their services in the newsletter to get more clients.
Include a paid subscription: Provide extra value/information in return for users to join a paid subscription of the newsletter. This can include real life examples, free mentorship or anything that provides value to the current audience.
π© Cons
Valuation: Valuation is currently 3.6x the revenue but due to newsletter being quite popular at the moment I donβt think the owner will budge on the asking price.
π° Asking Price: $500,000
Organic skincare line with biodegradable packaging
Type: eCom
β Key Highlights
$300,000 in TTM revenue
$176,725 in TTM profit
$30,000 in revenue last month
$15,000 in profit last month
Raised approx. $300,000 in funding
π Growth Opportunities
DTC: Seems like the business is heavily reliant on wholesale. Iβd start by gifting products to creators/influencers in exchange for content to be shared on socials + paid ads.
Cost Optimisation: Focus on bringing down OPEX. Once you inherit this business youβll want to find other ways in the supply chain that you can reduce without sacrificing the experience on quality of the product.
π© Cons
Funding: Brings up the question of what this funding looks like and if the person who gave the the funding has equity in the business.
#3. Baby & Toddler (πΈ $35k MRR)
π° Asking Price: $1,860,000
Scaling eCommerce Brand in the Childrenβs Products Vertical, focusing all of its sales efforts on the Amazon FBA Platform, and ready for further scale.
Type: eCom
β Key Highlights
$2,900,000 in revenue
$510,000 in profit
Margin: 18%
π Growth Opportunities
Retail: Brand has good affinity with their current audience and can see real great success if they start to push towards retail.
Google Ads : Investing in Google Ads is low-hanging fruit to increase visibility in search results and subsequently boost traffic and revenue. Conducting thorough keyword research, creating compelling ad copy and landing pages, and continuously testing and refining ad performance can easily be outsourced or managed in-house by a new owner with the necessary expertise
π© Cons
Percent Of Sales: What % of sales come from Amazon vs other sales channels. Being dependent on one channel solely can be quite difficult.
