1 year.

Built up a hobby site slowly over the past two years, at the end of the first year it was making £7,700 a month..

It is still active and earning around £2-3k per month with only about 1 hours work a week.

Currently looking to sell it on as I have just started on a new project.

What do you mean by "hobby site"? A site covering a specific hobby or something else? Can you tell more about how you earn money (memberships, advertisements, something else)?

Things that people do outside of work like mountain biking, yoga, paintball, cooking, whatever. There is lots of opportunity for ad revenue and affiliate links

Yeah. You can get affiliate links for pretty much everything these days.

Basically I started built a website and my hobby is to work on it and improve it.. The main goal was not to make revenue.

The revenue it makes now is through memberships and affiliate revenue.
