Listing Details

This listing is for a unique platform created in 2016 to connect authors with translators and narrators. It is not only a translation and narration service in revenue sharing, but also an international publishing house. This is a unique model, based on Revenue Sharing with no upfront costs for authors and publishers. This unique business leverages a sophisticated revenue-sharing model, allowing authors to translate and narrate their books into multiple languages without any upfront costs. The business has secured over 8,000 exclusive contracts and collaborates with a vast network of 8,000+ translators, 900+ narrators, and 1,000+ authors/publishers, all managed on a freelance basis. There is an established freelance assistant working on day-to-day operations, leaving the owner to focus on marketing and high-level activities.

Customer churn is remarkably low - showing a clear demand for the service being provided. Notably, this business relies entirely on organic traffic and word of mouth. No paid marketing has been explored at scale, providing a future opportunity for a new owner. The platform's minimal operational costs and high scalability potential make it an attractive investment. The existing organic customer acquisition strategy has substantial room for growth, with opportunities to implement paid marketing campaigns for even greater visibility and revenue. Of note, this business has built up a global distribution network covering more than 170 countries, working with approximately 200 distributors and sub-distributors.
