Selling Starcraft 2 Tournament / Portal website

    If you are a Starcraft 2 fan and you really love the game this would be a great way to get even deeper. This site has a great concept of running tournaments, offering coaching, posting replay reviews, and having jounral entries for low level players (which is 80%+ of SC2).

    I was a fool and started this website just before entering the job market and now that I am working full time I can not possibly make this site great or show it the time it deserves.

    Some site info:
    How old: ~32 days
    Members: 300+
    Staff: Tournament organizer, writers, coaches (the staff may or may not stay with the site based on the buyer)
    Ads: Never added ads because I felt the site was to young, although it would be easy to add as its already coded, you just have to add a adsense ID
    Advertising: Very easy and free
    How to get staff: also easy and free

    Site comes with: domain, 1 year of hosting, forum license, ownership of all custom coding, ownership of all videos, media, articles, journals, rights to logo.

    If you buy this site I will show you how to easily recruit staff members and how to get a lot of traffic for free. If you put at least 15 hours a week into this site I know it will hit over 1000 views a day easily.

    How the site makes money: All you have to do is run tournaments for this site to be profitable, which are also easy and free to run/operate/recruit people. If you run (4) 32 man tournaments a month at a $5 buyin you will make over $100 depending on the cut you take. I always took a $40 cut from a $160 prize pool and still had the site fill up. The site ran some tournaments before it started so that is why I show the monthly revenue at $20 since I made that money before the site. We also offered some free entry tournies to help gain awareness. I will also go into this in much more detail if you buy the site basically holding your hand on how to succesfully run a tournament and recruit people to play in it.

    I am currently at work or I would post the stats on the traffic, at around 5:30 PST I will post all stats that I have.

    PM me or Post with any questions. If you buy the site I will give you 10 hours of my time to teach you how to run the site.

    How do you make money with it? I mean, you're offering a 50$ price at the first contest, where did those 50$ come from?

    I paid $50 for the first one just to give the site some reputation, this way people were more keen on trusting us with their money for our paid tournaments.

    Also realize the first one was free entry just to promote the site. The main goal was to run 32 man tournaments with a $5 buyin. Which in total we ran 6, only 2 were a part of HT the others where just organized on battle.net which was a complete mess but worked.
