An individual is selling a well-established Horse Racing and Sports Tipping website launched in January 2006. Initially a hobby with only 25 members, each paying directly into the owner's bank account, the site expanded its customer base in October 2009 using a Clickbank payment system and affiliate marketing efforts. The website now boasts around 300 customers each paying £50 per month, resulting in significant revenue growth. From October 2009, an SEO specialist made improvements, including adding a blog, which increased the site's visibility and visitor count.
Sales are largely driven by Clickbank affiliates, and the site holds a #11 rank under Horse Racing in the marketplace. There remains potential for further expansion, including advertising opportunities. The seller wishes to transfer ownership due to the rapid growth becoming unmanageable. Maintenance requires 60-90 minutes daily for customer interactions and site updates, and comprehensive training will be provided to the buyer.
The sale includes a paid domain, hosting, mailing lists with over 3,500 subscribers, Clickbank account transfer, and email templates for operations. The seller will also assist with the transition for six months, ensuring continuity in operations. Revenue surged post-October 2009, with credits of $21,327.57 and a profit of $15,477.39 over a recent 12-week period. Traffic also spiked due to the Clickbank network, with 12,061 unique visitors recorded over three months. The seller is committed to facilitating a smooth ownership transition.
