Laravel Course/Training – $63K Profit – $285K Asking – 4.5x

Listing Type (?): Solid by Overpriced

📸 Snapshot:
This 8-year-old developer education platform delivers project-based screencasts focused on Laravel and related web dev tools. It operates on a B2C and B2B subscription model and is supported by a well-known YouTube channel with over 340,000 subscribers. The site pulls in ~$112K in annual revenue and ~$63K in profit, all without paid marketing. The seller says the business is being sold due to time constraints.

✅ The Good:

• Massive YouTube Presence: 340K+ subscribers signal strong brand awareness and ongoing traffic potential.

• Focused Developer Niche: Laravel is specialized, loyal, and growing—making this a sticky segment.

• Established Product: 300+ screencasts already built out, with an 8-year operational track record.

• Lean Ops: No team, no paid media, minimal tech stack. Clean bolt-on or solo-run asset.

⚠️ Watch Out:

• Low Monetization Relative to Audience: 340K YouTube subs driving only $63K in profit suggests missed monetization opportunities—or content that doesn’t convert at scale.

• Personal Brand Risk: Likely seller-created content; if fans follow the creator more than the brand, future traffic and engagement could suffer.

• No Clear Growth Path: The price implies growth upside, but it’s unclear whether that means more content, pricing changes, or entirely new products.

• High Multiple: 4.5x on $63K profit is rich for a personality-led content site with modest monetization and no team infrastructure.

💡 Bottom Line:
A solid dev education brand with clear authority—but it hasn’t translated that reach into real revenue. Great bones for a buyer with dev content chops or a media team, but the price assumes more transferability and scale than current numbers support.
