- Business description
- Run this business from anywhere. Sales of over $1,000,000 to date from our European operation. Over $1,450,000 to be made from our USA websites
We spent around three years developing an in house project which was the creation of a large internet travel network consisting of tens of thousands of pages of country specific sites. Each country & US state is represented in the network with the prefix aguide2
Etc ... we have one for every destination the world!!
We sell these 'Aguide2' Travel sites to individuals to run as their own businesses from home.
We sell these travel sites through the web and over the phone at an average of $20,000 each
We have sold around 80 sites so far over the last 3 years on a small budget netting us around $1.5M
Now with over 150 'Aguide2' sites still available for sale. The bulk of the prime sites still available for sale are the American states. We therefore have decided split off a separate sales site to vend the US stock.
There is over $1,000,000 of sites to sell all published and online, the only cost would be a minimal advertising budget and your time.
How does the business work?
By placing advertisements in several business for sale websites we generate leads interested in purchasing an Aguide2 websites and running it as their own business. The leads are directed to our sales website where they learn about the sites and opportunity. From here they can go ahead and purchase a site(s) online agreeing to the terms and legal agreement.
Once we are in receipt of funds the sale has been made and we transfer the domain name to the new owner and offer brief training over the phone. There is an obligation to a yearly hosting fee also.
The owner of the business would have the opportunity to use the same marketing route as above but focus on the many US based business for sales and business opportunity magazines and website to direct prospects to the website.
Revenue Potential
45 remaining sites to vend at minimum $20k each. = $900,000
(Within 12-24 months)
Annual hosting and support fee ($1000 per site per year) = $45,000
(Every 12 months)
Upgrades and marketing services for site owners
Assume only a 50% take up = $3000 per site per year x 45) = $67,500 -
(Every 12 months)
Why do we want to sell now?
We are primarily a small internet design business and despite the high profits and success achieved to date, we do not believe we have the marketing setup and skills or placement to take advantage of the true potential as outlined above in the US market.
Why Buy?
With the application of the right marketing skills we believe the rest of the stock could be released very quickly giving the new owner tremendous cash flow allowing them to develop the additional income streams to a captive audience. The potential for ongoing hosting, service support fees along with all other marketing services, add-ons and upgrades and site buybacks is impressive.
What’s included?
- All unsold Aguide2america sites listed on Aguide2america.com including all domain names and intellectual property rights, content and code.

Support & Commitment

Summary
The business model is proven and very profitable and for the right person there is an opportunity to make a fast and substantial short term gain on the roll out of available stock backed up with ongoing revenue streams to build a high value business.
