An individual who recently joined a website marketplace platform shares their experience with creating and selling websites. The website in question generates approximately $100 daily, with 20%-40% from ad revenue and the remaining from lead generation focused on a specific niche. The site is successful due to its ranking for numerous keywords and receives 95% of its traffic organically, resulting in high click-through rates due to targeted traffic. The website is built on WordPress and requires minimal maintenance or growth efforts. The seller is offering to assist the buyer in setting up with their current lead generation company.
The website's operational costs are minimal, only requiring shared hosting at $10 per month and optional article writing at $2 per article. The seller is open to selling if an attractive offer is received but is also content to retain ownership if the price isn't right. Payment is preferred through Escrow with a five-day testing period. The seller offers free server setup, one month of support, and necessary training.
Currently, the website earns between $20-$40 daily from ads and generates 3-4 leads worth $18 each per day. It attracts around 100 unique visitors daily, totaling 3,000 monthly, with a projected increase. The traffic is almost entirely from organic search, with no paid traffic methods employed. The site is well-indexed in search engines, and the expectation is for traffic growth as new posts are added.
