I bought a site last summer that sells YouTube intro videos for $5/$10 a pop: http://introcave.com

I made about $13k off it, which sounds good but was really only about $20/hour.

Hoping to grow it quite a bit this year and then start offloading tasks. I don’t know if I can ever get it truly passive, but that’s the dream.




I'm not a YouTube creator so not the target market, but this is something I could see myself using if I did create videos. Seems to add good value for the cost, although I don't know what the competition/landscape is like.


I did animation in college before switching to programming in grad school, so once I get everything running smoothly I plan to make new templates for fun.

Most of the competitors are SAAS and geared at agencies. I’m basically the low end of the market, but YouTubers just starting out don’t need multiple videos for $30/month.


I love how easy it is the see and hear previews of the intros (just hover over them)!


Where did you find the site to buy it?


There are brokers. I used FEInternational.


flippa.com is a pretty 'known' place to buy and sell stuff like this.
