    Good day DP!

    I have a revenue generating site for sale at Sitepoint. If you would like to bid, please do so at the auction. Here's the description:

    Here’s a revenue-generating site under a very hot niche for years to come as Taylor Swift craze has just started.

    If you would notice, it has a top level domain name and comes with a Premium Wordpress Theme. It is loaded with articles and a tickets page that generated $800 commission this March alone!

    Niche

    Taylor Swift is an American country-pop singer-songwriter who is just 19 years old. The New York Times described Swift as "one of pop's finest songwriters, country’s foremost pragmatist and more in touch with her inner life than most adults".

    According to Nielsen SoundScan, Swift was the biggest selling artist of 2008 in America with combined sales of more than four million albums. Fearless has topped the Billboard 200 in 11 different weeks. No album has spent more time at number one since 1999-2000. It also the first album by a female artist in country music history to log eight weeks at #1 on The Billboard 200.

    In mid-January 2009, Swift became the first country artist to top the 2 million mark in paid downloads with three different songs. As of the week ending February 8, 2009, Swift's single "Love Story" became the country song with most paid downloads in history and the first country song to top the Mainstream Top 40 chart.

    So, who wants to reckon with the Taylor Swift niche?

    The best part about this site is it’s under a niche that generates sales. Please see attached on this month earnings alone, a whopping $800 in commission.

    So, this site could be your way to cater to the Taylor Swift fans. Barely just a month, the site generated $810 total revenue ($800 from CJ and $10 from Adsense).

    Taylor Swift is having her tour called Fearless Tour 2009 and tickets are getting sold out in minutes. Grab this opportunity and sell tickets to her craving fans that can’t wait to watch her live in concert.

    Visiting the site would immediately indicate it’s a Taylor Swift site as a miniature Taylor Swift is easily recognizable in the customized header. You would also get a budding community of Taylor Swift fanatics in Twitter as my account already has 1,000+ Taylor Swift fans, if you use the Buy It Now button.

    For more details on the BIN Bonuses, scroll down even more (and read why you should buy this site).

    Simple Yet Effective Site to Run and Update

    Since the site is made through Wordpress, it will be very easy to add content. Also, the Premium Theme has a separate options section wherein you can easily configure your affiliate codes, adsense codes & private banner advertisement, if any. You don’t have to learn HTML or CSS to do it just go to the options section on your Wordpress dashboard and you can easily adjust settings to suit your preference.

    Loaded With Articles

    This site is great for starters because it already contains professionally written articles which include lyrics, news, concert updates, etc. You will get exclusive rights to the articles.

    Rest assured that every article is Search Engine Optimized including the website itself which has the latest plug-ins for efficient SEO (All in one SEO & Google Sitemaps)

    Premium Wordpress Theme

    This site is packaged with a customized Premium Wordpress Theme. It includes a unique header, creative commons images and theme variations to match the blog.

    Methods To Earn Money

    This site comes with a list of ways to make money!

    1. Affiliate Programs – If you would have noticed, the site is already powered by affiliate programs through banners on the sidebar. The site has partnered with Commission Junction and Amazon, two of the top affiliate programs on the internet today, to market products.

    Through Commission Junction, we have affiliated with StubHub, the world's largest ticket marketplace, enabling fans to buy and sell tickets to tens of thousands of sports, concert, theater and other live entertainment events. If you already have a ticket-company affiliate, then we will just change the links.

    On the other hand, we have on Amazon an online store which can be easily updated (I can teach you how).

    So that visitors could simply view your store, I’ve strategically placed a widget on the sidebar which automatically rotates the products on your store.

    Another affiliate is Amazon MP3 where music lovers can download digitally the songs of Taylor Swift.

    Well, if you would still prefer to use your affiliates, no worries. Just like what I mentioned above, the site comes with a Premium Wordpress Theme which can easily change your banners, etc. so even if you are not familiar with HTML or coding itself, you’re still in good shape.

    2. Adsense is already present on the site and has earned the cost of my hosting ($10) in just a month.

    Personal Promotion Techniques

    The winner of this auction would get to know personally what I did to market this site. I have a full time day-job (8:30 AM – 6:30 PM) and yet this site managed to get 3,300+ visitors and 5,900+ page views in just a month.

    I would also give you where I found the buyers. I can even give you my bookmarks so you can find them easily.

    Life-time Support

    I would offer personal support with no restrictions, even if a year passed or something, I would still be here to help. I would also explain what I do to manage the site efficiently even if you’re just doing this part-time (I did).

    I have sold five websites this past couple of months in Sitepoint (with feedbacks) and I’m 100% trusted. J

    Summary

    Here’s a brief summary of the lucky buyer who would buy this site:

    o Premium Wordpress Theme with options section for easily adjustments (no coding needed) $70 value

    o Custom Header which captured nicely the Flash News theme

    o SEO articles

    o Store from Amazon

    o Monetized with Affiliate Programs & Adsense

    o SEO site with plug-ins for efficient SEO

    o Personal promotion technique

    o Life-time Support

    How about the BIN Bonus?

    If you purchase the blog using the Buy It Now button, the lucky buyer would get the package inlcluding:

    o Contest Sponsor – Win Two Taylor Swift tickets to any of her concerts ($100/each ticket worth)

    o Yes, I’ll sponsor a contest wherein anyone who join could win a free Taylor Swift concert ticket (and one friend can tag along).

    o Twitter Account – If you have an update you can easily tweet to reach those 1,000+ followers.

    Easy to Manage Twitter Account

    Thankfully, Twitter is very easy to update and such. Currently, the 1,000+ followers of my account are Taylor Swift fans. One “tweet” would reach the loyal Taylor Swift supporters.

    So, you’re not only buying a site but a community as well. For years to come, this will generate more followers.

    FAQ's:

    1. Hi! I was wondering if there are any legal issues with a site like this? I am not saying there are or aren't, I just don't know... I mean is there any problem due to the owner of the site making money off of her without paying any type of royalties...Thanks

    There are no legal issues as long as there's a disclaimer. Many fansites are sold here in SP, I even sold a Twilight fansite before and no legal issues came up.

    2. Site was established around a month ago....makes $800 pm....how has it generated $10,000 as stated in your title?

    It generated $10,000+ in sales (w/c netted me $800+ in commission revenue) by targeting traffic. I marketed the site in Yahoo! (through Yahoo! Answers) & Twitter (Twitter Search is very helpful in finding Taylor Swift fans) as well as Craigslist (Many are stumped that the concerts are sold out) so this site caters mostly through her fans.

    So the $10,000+ sales came from Ticket sales. I just know where to find the buyers. :)

    3. So you're saying that the $10,000+ sales came from you personally selling Taylor Swift concert tickets to fans. Is that right? Or do you mean that you made $10,000+ in affiliate commissions from the ticket sales?

    I made $800+ in commission through directing fans to the site wherein they have to click the link/s and make their purchase. (Please see attachment - Commission Junction Revenue File #1 & #2)

    $10,000 is the gross sales. Here's the computation:

    $10,000 sales x 8% commission rate = $800 commission for me.

    Right now the Current bid : $205
    BIN : $20,000 (Negotiable)

    The reserve price is between $5,000-$8,000. Serious buyers can PM me and we can negotiate to lower the BIN.
