Declining content site? The standard TTM valuation doesn't work.

Look at the last 3 to 6 months instead. Calculate your SDE for that window and apply a 2x multiple.

2x on 12 months is the high end. 2x on 3 months is the lower end. Somewhere in between gets it sold.

[Quiet Light @quietlightinc]

Nearly half of buyers are repeat.

Earnings move with game updates, which is why the multiple sits low.

The other two titles and a 118K email list remain underused.

Some businesses look non-sellable on paper.

Geography issues, key employee risk, bloat.

But the textbook answer isn't always the real answer.

An outside perspective can find structure or opportunity you can't see from inside the day-to-day.
