Selling a Website in Ten Days for 5-Figures with Flippa and Anurag Ghosh

Anurag Ghosh is a gaming-enthusiast and content writer. After numerous years spent writing for various publications, he decided to take his passion for writing and gaming to the next level.  

In 2015 he decided to create his own website, catering specifically to the mobile gaming audience: Playoholic.

The website is a trusted source of beginner-level mobile game guides, offering in-depth assistance complemented by screenshots and videos.

Empowering Gamers and Following a Passion

In the fast-paced world of mobile gaming, Anurag’s mobile gaming website filled a unique niche in the gaming industry by catering specifically to new players with tips, guides and step-by-step tutorials with detailed visuals and multimedia elements.

What started just as a hobby, soon became a full-time occupation. The website started to get more and more views, averaging 199.2K monthly page views, 100% from organic and direct traffic primarily from the US, UK and Canada. The domain authority also soared and so did its monthly revenue.

Deciding to Sell

After turning Playoholic into an established website, Anurag’s entrepreneurial spirit told him it was time to move on, and he started looking at ways to sell his website.

When it came to choosing a platform to sell, Anurag turned to Flippa, drawn by its expansive pool of potential buyers, user-friendly interface, and exceptional customer support.

Anurag was assisted by Flippa’s certified M&A advisor Ashwin Almeida in the sale process. Once the business was live on the marketplace, Anurag started receiving enquiries right from the first day.

Within a remarkably short span of ten days, Anurag managed to successfully sell his website for five-figures. By this point, his listing had over 1K views, 41 watchers and 39 discussions.

The Experience with Flippa

Anurag says the sale price met all his expectations, and he’s incredibly satisfied with the experience with Flippa. 

Flippa’s support and negotiation facilitation played a crucial role in reaching an agreement that benefited both parties, and he recommends the marketplace to anyone who wants to sell a website.
