- Reason
- Huge margins and just past small size, but 2 years on one YouTube channel is too short a record.
Why it's interesting
- Revenue $276,894 and net profit $241,206 (87% margin) at a 1.5x asking multiple.
- Production is fully outsourced to seven remote contractors, and the owner spends 5–10 hours a week.
- 280+ videos draw millions of views a month, and a Spanish-language channel was recently launched.
What to watch
- About 85% of traffic comes from Browse and Suggested, and all revenue is YouTube ads on one channel, so one algorithm change could cut income.
- Fair-use clips carry copyright-strike risk, and faceless mass-produced content may draw YouTube monetization policy scrutiny (inference).
- Only two years of history, and earnings detail and the averaging window are gated on the public page.
Who it fits
A buyer who knows YouTube operations and contractor management and can afford to risk capital on a platform-dependent asset.
Ask the seller
- What were monthly views and ad revenue for each of the last 12 months?
- How many copyright claims or strikes has the channel received, and how were they resolved?
- Do the seven contractors stay after the sale, and who owns the scripts and visual assets?
Growth plays
- Grow the new Spanish-language channel by re-voicing the existing 280+ video library.
- Add affiliate links for parts and tools matched to model-specific maintenance videos, creating income outside AdSense.
