The story so far

Where it started, where it is, why it's for sale

    A cold-case hobby account that found a huge, careful audience.

High

The $139,000 ask sits inside the PIB range. An offer under $135,000 lands below the range PIB published, and the seller reads it with the same report in hand.

What is driving value

Why this asset is strong

The list is the moat

42K double-opted subscribers at a 52 percent open rate. The newsletter alone would clear five figures at auction, and here it comes attached to its growth engine.

Sponsors renew

Both current sponsors are on their fourth consecutive quarter. Renewal contracts transfer with the entity.

What is limiting value

What a buyer takes on

Niche sensitivity

True crime requires editorial care with active cases. The included style guide handles it, and the record is clean, but a buyer should keep the standards.

Podcast feed

$1.5K to $4K monthly

The newsletter archive converts naturally to narrated episodes. Comparable true crime pods monetize from episode one through host-read ads.

Locked

What opens after the NDA

A Certified asset stays anonymous in public so the seller is not announcing an exit to their own audience and their competitors. You ask, the seller decides, and the tri-party NDA opens the rest.

Locked
  • The owner, the page and site names, and the direct links
  • The seller's full confidential description
  • The standardized data room: payout statements, traffic exports, and entity records

What you are buying

What transfers at close

  • The operating entity that holds the Business Portfolio. You acquire the entity, not the page on its own.
  • Admin rights, added in stages across a 48 to 72 hour transitional window so the handover does not trip a platform review.
  • Monetization setup and payout configuration exactly as the seller runs it today.
  • The full content archive and posting history on the asset.
  • Connected accounts, automations, and documentation named in the listing.

Transferring the entity keeps monetization and payout history intact. The seller confirms the exact inventory in writing before escrow funds, and anything the listing does not name is not part of the transfer.

Verification and diligence

What PIB checked, and what it did not

PIB audited this asset before the listing went live. Verification is a review of evidence the seller produced, not an audit opinion, and it does not replace your own diligence.

Checked before publication

  • Revenue history against the payout and network statements behind it.
  • Payout records on the platforms the asset earns from.
  • Compliance history, including violations and suspensions on record.
  • Account health and the standing of the operating entity.
  • Traffic and reach data, pulled from the source rather than a screenshot.

Still yours to check

  • Future performance. Verification covers what happened, never what happens next.
  • Platform policy decisions, which sit with Meta and the ad networks and change without notice.
  • Fit with your tax, legal, and financing position.
  • The full document set, which opens in the data room once the NDA is signed.

PIB re-confirms payout status and account standing during the transitional admin window, before escrow releases to the seller.

How the deal runs

PIB runs this sale, from first contact to funds release

  1. 01

    Verify your identity

    Buyers anywhere complete KYC through Persona before PIB opens anything. Escrow and identity partners apply their own country coverage.

  2. 02

    Sign the tri-party NDA

    Buyer, seller, and PIB sign through PandaDoc. The brand name, the handles, the direct links, and the private figures open to you on signature.

  3. 03

    PIB opens the data room

    PIB has already run its diligence: revenue against payout statements, traffic from the source, compliance history, and the operating entity. The Professional Asset Valuation sits beside the documents.

  4. 04

    Offers go through PIB

    You make your offer to the brokerage team, not to the seller. PIB presents every offer, carries the seller's answer back, and keeps every buyer on one timeline.

  5. 05

    LOI and terms, with PIB in the middle

    PIB drafts the letter of intent and the transfer terms from its entity-transfer templates, and works the open points between you and the seller until both sides sign.

  6. 06

    Escrow.com settlement and a PIB-managed transfer

    You fund Escrow.com directly, and PIB never holds the money. PIB manages the transfer step by step, the seller provides transitional support, and Escrow.com releases when you confirm the last milestone.

This is a PIB brokered sale. Identifying detail opens after the tri-party NDA, every offer passes through PIB, and purchase funds settle through Escrow.com and never touch PIB.

After close

Who runs it on Monday

The handover

Admin access moves in stages across 48 to 72 hours while the seller stays in place. Where the listing includes seller transition help, the listing names the window and the scope.

The first weeks

Posting cadence is the whole job on a social asset. Output drops the week a page changes hands more often than anything else does, so plan the calendar before the transitional admin window opens.

If you would rather not run it

PIB runs publishing businesses for owners who prefer not to run them day to day. That is a separate conversation with the marketplace team, and it changes nothing about this transaction.
