Key Highlights
Description
This listing presents a unique opportunity to acquire Maine Times, a launch-ready statewide newspaper brand poised to become a significant independent news outlet in New England. The brand benefits from a premium domain portfolio (MaineTimes.com, .org, .net), GS1 barcode registration for retail sales, and distribution approval in 94 major Maine stores including Walmart, Dollar General, and Circle K. The website is under development on WordPress with robust hosting and security infrastructure. Monetization strategies are already in place, including Amazon Associates and interest from AWIN, with potential for display advertising and subscriptions. Early public interest has been demonstrated with significant Reddit engagement and website visits prior to launch. The seller is motivated to focus on a global venture and offers seller financing. This is an ideal acquisition for individuals with publishing, media, or advertising experience looking to capitalize on a structured, market-ready brand with substantial growth potential before its official launch.
