Selling an Online Event Ticket Website Make over $42K revenue so in 14 months

Hello, I'm an affiliate marketer and this is one of my online businesses I have been promoting for past year. I am looking to see if anyone would like to take over this ticket business since I have other things I would like to focus on.

PM me if you have any questions. Thanks for reading.

As a special bonus for the Winner I will throw in TheTicketFinders.com.

History behind DailyTicketHub.com?

After getting involved with marketing affiliate programs I ran into Stubhub ticket affiliate in Early 2006. I was heavily testing pay per click advertising as well as buying text links for Stubhub. Then I was contacted by Ticket Network, another ticket company. This is very different style of affiliate sales than typical "get an affiliate link ex: url.com/~ref#" sending potential customer to their main website hoping people would purchase within 30 days or 60 days cookie(Stubhub). After 30/60 days cookie runs out, you have lost potential return customers.

DailyTicketHub.com is an affiliate site within Ticket Network (TN). You get own domain name, they provide with your own website and backend: customer support, phone orders, answering emails etc. All you have to do is generate traffic (potential customers) looking to purchase concert, theater, and sports tickets. And you get those return visitors sales for the life of the site since it's your own website, no need for cookies.

I created DailyTicketHub.com mid October 2006 when World Series and NFL Football tickets were THE hottest tickets to get. I decided to switch from 100% Stubhub campaign to promoting 100% Ticket Network. I realized it was much more lucrative to have your own site with potential return customers. Don't let me mislead you Stubhub was great for me. I was earning up to $3-$4,000 a month by the time I quit promoting them in January 07' and focused solely with my own TN site.

Why get involved in Ticket Industry?

If you do some research on this, you’ll see that ticket industry is huge $10-12 Billion dollar market.
These are main places that people will go purchase tickets when they go on sale for FACE VALUE. Top Primary Ticket Sellers are: Ticketmaster/Tickets.com/LiveNation/Ticketweb.com
After tickets are sold out for specific event from them. People have to go to secondary ticket sellers, ex: StubHub/TicketsNow/TicketLiquidator/TickCo or... DailyTicketHub.com to purchase tickets.

Everything about this Website is 100% Authentic and can be verified by TN. They have approved the transfer of ownership.

Answers to FAQ's?

How are you making money with this website that doesn't show high in link popularity? Without search engine rankings?

I'll tell you flat out, it doesn't require much to make money online! I say you can make money from just a good plain old landing page if you know how to market it and figure out the profit margin. Yes, having more links, higher search rankings, will definitely help you. No doubt about that. In Ticket business, this is super difficult. Unless you have money to advertise and are established for years, your search rankings will take a very long time to get up there, near the first page. Even if you did have some keywords listed top 10, top 5, that doesn't guarantee that you'll make a sale because there are just way too many competitors and events comes and go. Today there are many of ways to advertise your businesses other than Adwords or YSM. One for example is the ever so popular social networking sites.

Site Requirements? How many hours per day/week to maintain?

$98/month or free if you decide to stick with the original site. At minimum 4-5 hours/week. I have got this business down to about few hours a week. Majority of this time is spent on whats new, what tickets are going on sale and checking stats.

Why do you want to sell this site when you are making money?

I am looking to start working on other things. I'm letting this go to someone who wants to start making money online with an established business + proven stats.

What happens after sale is made?

1. I’ll get you in touch with my affiliate manager to get everything transferred over.
2. Established Domain Name that people remember to come back to purchase tickets from again + Customized Website
3. Open relationship with the new owner: everything disclosed including advertising/detail revenue and more.
4. Fast Track Coaching. I'll continue what I'm doing for last 12 previous months and support you, teach you, and make smooth transition.
