kush · 09-18-2006, 11:08 AM

With the intention of maintaining a happy marriage, healthy life, and good personal relationships, I will try to sell my adult business in the upcoming weeks. I would like to use this thread to introduce my business and gain some feedback about how to proceed and what information potential buyers would like to see. If I have unfinished matters before I leave, I will complete them all before I am gone.

I would like to sell everything together, including my corporation which was chartered in Nevada for my privacy and has its own corporate bank account, bare bones admin, and payroll/benefits system for employees. I think it is a safe, low cost system. All rebills would be kept by the purchaser of the corporation, though only about 15% of my revenue is from partnership programs. Note you do not have to purchase the corporation if you only want the websites.

Revenue Overview
Nearly all of the income is from SEO, with also a substantial portion coming from traded traffic link trades. This SEO network of sites has made as much as $33,000 net in 1 month and as little as $5,000 net in one month over the past 3 years. For a 1 man full-time operation it is easily a 6 figure income. Note I HAVE NOT put in a full time effort into adult for over a year.

SEO Websites Network Overview
1 Link List online since 2000 www.mega-free-porn-site.com (around 50 optimized categories, around 300 paysite seo listings)
1 Link List online since 2002 www.marissas.com (around 50 optimized categories ? strong link trades, around 300 paysite seo listings, good solid site)
1 Pay Site Guide online since 2003 www.reality-porn-sites.org (used to hold nearly ALL top positions for popular pay site searches, really good site, around 300+ paysite reality listings)
1 Model Directory online since 2001 www.velleity.com (around 600+ porn star models)
About 60 ?lower quality? PR3-4 SEO feeder/trade sites all niches, each on their own domain.
About 50 ?medium-higher quality? PR3-4 SEO feeder/trade sites all niches (each optimized for around 75 keywords), each on their own domain.
Around 200 designed for Link Lists free sites across various domains.
A large collection of various other SEO ?stuff,? nothing black hat or high risk optimization. (Explanation of white vs black hat seo here: http://www.silverdisc.co.uk/articles/seohats/ )
Estimated 20,000+ adult keyword phrases targeted across my network.

History of My Adult Business and Related Life

2001: I?m a full time student (freshman 18/19 years old) in college and start working with Link Lists / free sites. Average net income from adult is around $1,500 a month.

2002: Sophomore in college and start to learn SEO and continue to build my Link List and free sites network. Still around $1,500 a month net income.

August 2003: Start heavily investing time into learning SEO and putting effort into it. Aug 2003 income ? about $3000. For the next few months I really put a lot of effort into SEO and developing my ?empire.?

Sept 2003 ? Continue with SEO, focusing on long term stability, low maintenance, and more ethical ?white hat? methods. About $5,000 net income this month.

Oct 2003 ? More SEO work, earn about $8,000 net this month.
Nov 2003 ? More SEO work, earn about $12,000 net this month.
Dec 2003 ? Continue the SEO work, mainly with reality porn, earn about $20,000 net that month. Purchase a $30,000 sports car in cash. Still a full time college student.

2004 ? I?m 21. I drop out of college in Feb 2004 to work adult full time. Purchase a $375,000 home in Texas (with mortgage) in July. Nearly $300,000 income filed with the IRS for ?04. Worked an estimated average of around 20-25 hours a week in adult in '04.

Year of 2005 ? Started exploring with mainstream opportunities, and let adult slide. Worked an estimated average of perhaps 10-15 hours a week on adult. Nearly $100,000 net income from adult in 2005.

Current Year of 2006 ? I?m 23 and married this March. Working an average of still 10-15 hours a week in adult over this year, and expect to finish the year with around $75,000 net income from adult.

My SEO business is easy, profitable, and straightforward with an emphasis on long term stability and low upkeep.

What information would you potential buyers like to see? What services would you like from me upon completion of the sell? I would like to do what it takes to sell my business for what it is truly worth. I wish to leave adult soon, but not at the expense of letting my business go for ?for a steal.? If potential buyers would like to see some work put into this network before I leave in order to see just how quickly revenue can be built up maintained, I am open to ideas.

Please leave your comments or questions or contact information if you would like to know more. My ICQ may be very busy, but I will be on it to answer questions, so please be patient. 11819260

Again, you may also leave contact info if you wish me to reach you.
