A technology niche blog started in early 2020 that grew to about 320 articles and peaked near $46k/month from display ads and affiliate links before a Google update cut traffic. Sold for a high six-figure sum, 15% above asking.
This database tracks 215 Content/Media exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $25,100. Category matters more than founders expect: buyers apply different discount rates to a content business, a mobile app and a B2B tool even at identical revenue.
From founding to sale took 3.0 years. Time to exit is a decent proxy for how built-to-sell a business was: shorter, cleaner processes usually mean documented operations and fewer surprises in due diligence.
