Description: A collection of sites that focus on the niche Bed & Breakfast Industry. Included is an Industry blog that helps you keep in touch with Innkeepers. The bundle of sites also includes directories for B&B's in the US, Canada and UK. All sites have been built with a technology that will allow a novice webmaster to update and maintain the site as easily as if you were using Microsoft Word.
Here are the domains:

http://www.debfreakbast.com
http://www.stayeat.co.uk
Each site is automated with a content management system so you do not have to know any HTML and can run the sites with ease.
They have all been designed by an SEO firm (

Pay-Per-Click campaigns have been started with Overture and Google Ad-sense
Each regional section of the site has sponsorship opportunities. We have already sold 7 out of 50 States to Realtors. Up to $45,000 in potential ad space annually...more as the traffic increases.
The income will become passive over the next few years and you could easily have 2-3 thousand paying B&B's
How does the site generate income? They are receiving a combined revenue of about $2750 USD per month. There are presently about 200 paid listings and 1750 basic listings.
Current business sales dictate that a full time business would receive anywhere from 18-24 months of its revenue if sold if the business requires full time attention. These sites will require about half of your day and
www.debfreakbast.com is slowly turning into a group industry blog. The listings you add to the site and that are currently included in the site as enhanced listings are considered passive. As your roster grows each year your attention will be required less and it will be more of a passive investment. The current formula for an investment is 10-11 times its annual value.
How much? $2750
What are the costs? The hosting will run you about $30 each month for all the sites together.
A weekly newsletter goes out to about 5,000 Innkeepers. Cost is $49.95 USD per month. These prices are subsidized by a newsletter sponsor of $30 per month.
I recommend implementing and promoting Pay-Per-Click campaigns. Effective promotion of these campaigns have led to an increase in membership.
We have paid a developer and SEO firm to construct sites that are SEO friendly. We also hired a data entry clerk to help us with the content. In total we have invested $18,000 USD in the sites.
Costs? $40+ per month
Who developed the content? The right buyer has all the tools in place to create an enormous amount of passive income in the coming years. It takes about 4 hours each day to run and solicit business.
Reason for selling: I have 8 other web properties that need my attention.
Number of members: 1750
