Launched in 2024, this YouTube business operates in the entertainment niche, producing long-form documentary-style lore videos centered on one of the world's most recognizable fantasy and science fiction franchises. Key strengths include a predominantly Tier 1 audience, a highly documented AI-assisted production workflow, and a loyal viewer base that consistently supports new releases while continuing to attract new viewers. Videos are currently published approximately once per week, with all research, scripting, voiceover production, audio engineering, graphics, and editing handled by the two owners using documented workflows built around Claude, ElevenLabs, MidJourney, Storyblocks, and Adobe Premiere Pro. Traffic is well diversified, with the majority of views coming from Browse Features and Suggested Videos, while YouTube Search also contributes a meaningful share of traffic. The three highest-performing videos account for roughly one-quarter of the channel's annual views, demonstrating that performance is spread across a broad catalog rather than being dependent on a single breakout video. Around 60% of viewers are based in the United States, with most of the remaining audience coming from other Tier 1 English-speaking markets and Western Europe. The business has no employees or contractors, with the two owners collectively spending approximately 30–35 hours per week producing content. The majority of this time is dedicated to audio engineering, which the sellers estimate could be outsourced for approximately $100–150 per video, reducing owner involvement while enabling increased publishing frequency. The estimated costs of outsourcing the work has been factored into the P&L and valuation. Additional growth opportunities include expanding the existing content library onto audio streaming platforms, increasing upload frequency through outsourcing, securing sponsorships, and building complementary marketing channels such as social media and an email list. The sale includes detailed SOPs, AI prompts, and a fully documented production process, along with 60 days of post-sale support, providing a straightforward transition for a new owner. Disclaimers: The sellers plan to launch other channels producing documentary-style lore videos in a different niche that wouldn't overlap with the channel for sale. Further details can be provided upon request. The P&L includes estimated operating expenses where appropriate to reflect the ongoing costs required to operate the business, providing buyers with a more representative view of normalized financial performance.
Seller supportThe seller is willing to offer 60 days of email and phone support to ensure a smooth transition. Support includes guidance and knowledge transfer across the full operation, including production workflow, research and scripting prompts, tool setup, audience insights, content strategy, and community engagement, but does not include hands-on production work.
Reason for saleThe Seller would like to explore other opportunities.
