I'm interested in selling a group of 22 affiliate sites (same market/products) and would appreciate any advice re: best practices when dealing with potential buyers.
Current sites created July 2006.
(ran a smaller site for this merchant since 2001)
$ 309,310.00 total commissions from Jan 2007 to Dec 2011
$ 5155.51 avg. commissions / mo since Jan 2007
$ 150.00 monthly expense (hosting, no PPC)
Barriers to entry:
- Limited merchants in market.
- Only our merchant has an affiliate program.
- Semi-exclusive affiliate contract with merchant. Prevents new small affiliates.
- No merchant in this market has a product feed. We built an automated product feed generator. Approx 10,000 products in feed.
Merchant has reliably paid on the first of the month for the previous month's commissions for 11 years.
Sorry if this isn't the place for these specs. Trying to collect my thoughts.
Thanks.
