<p><b>Startup description</b><b></b></p><p>My project is a curated newsletter helping 9,300+ subscribers discover location-independent income streams, side hustles, and digital opportunities.</p><p>I started this project to build a high-quality audience in the "Make Money Online" niche. It has grown through a combination of high-intent paid ads (Meta/Google), newsletter discovery networks (Refind), and organic social growth.</p><p>It is currently running on a low-effort "maintenance" workflow, generating consistent monthly income. I am selling because I have other core business focuses, and this asset is vastly under-monetized relative to the quality of the audience (3,300+ consistent opens per email).</p><p><b>Team</b><b></b></p><p>Solo-founder: I handle the curation and scheduling. There are no other employees or contractors.</p><p>The operation is streamlined: I use a workflow that extracts transcripts from relevant YouTube videos and summarizes them into high-value newsletter issues ("Lift and Shift" strategy). This allows for high-quality content output with minimal manual writing.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b><b></b></p><p>Note on Valuation: The historical ad spend (~$3k) is a sunk cost and <b>not</b> an operating expense. The business is profitable on a cash-flow basis today.</p><p><b>Return on investment</b><b></b></p><p>Current Payback: ~21 months (based on passive income alone).</p><p>Accelerated Payback (3-6 months): The list is vastly under-leveraged. I currently do not sell any own products. With 3,300+ highly engaged openers interested in making money, a buyer who launches a simple digital product ($50 ebook) or a coaching offer could recoup the entire investment in 1-2 launches.</p><p><b>Summary</b><b></b></p><p>You are buying a revenue-generating machine that is running at 20% capacity.</p><p>✅ $1,612in Annual Revenue</p><p>✅ 9,300 subscribers</p><p>✅ Business model: Sponsorship</p><p>✅ Built with Beehiiv,&nbsp;YouTube, ChatGPT</p>
