Insurance Website Earning Good Revenue

I very much agree with Alston. Unless you have a desperate need of cash or you know something about the site that you are not telling us then there should be no need for you to sell at a very low multiple of earnings.

You said that you are getting traffic from your blog and your directory. Do those come with the package? If the traffic source doesn't come with the site, the site has no value. Also, how often do you have to post on your blog to maintain the traffic at its present level?

You may want to reconsider your offer. If I had a site that does what your site claims to (and I do), I wouldn't sell it. If I needed a lump sum of money, I'd get a loan. You should think seriously about that.

Why sell a golden goose? The site looks like it is very easy to maintain. There are some nice graphics, but the programming looks like it is very basic.

If you are selling the site because you don’t have the programming or design skills to maintain the site, PM me and maybe I can help you find someone who can help you. There are a lot of designers out there and the site's programming does not appear to be on a very high level. I'm not knocking the site. That's a good thing, from the standpoint of the ease of maintaining the site.

If this is your issue you should be able to find someone who can help you keep your income stream going instead of selling your golden goose for a few eggs.

I'm still waiting for someone from Surehits to call me.

Maybe I left the phone off the hook... Maybe Scott forgot to mention this great site in the email he sent me today. Hmmm...

These are the exact sites that we try to avoid when advertising on ad networks...

Affiliate Spam.

Dan...I think Somarco was right.

To bring it back to topic,
I don't know why an agent should attempt to make their website a revenue stream on their own. Usually when an agent seeks to waste time learning about SEO, PPC, etc, it just derails their productivity. Instead, I feel an agent should focus on selling more through proven ways, and then use the extra money to hire a specialist to set up their site and manage their SEO and PPC. They just sit back and watch extra qualified leads stream through their site, as they remain focused on being a professional insurance agent and not a professional web person. Focused agents = Profitable agents.

Geez...The more I learn about SEO...the more productive I get.

Nice effort

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 11-06-2009, 10:09 AM

No, it was not a nice effort. When Temple (even though they are going to a Bowl game this year) beats you...it's not good.

However, Zac Dysert is clearly one of the best freshman QBs, and the future is bright in Oxford!

Same here, but SEO/SEM has become a second job for me. It can be very time consuming, but I enjoy proving that some old dogs can learn new tricks.

Health sells via internet, eh? What kind of revs are you talking about? What is sales process and cycle like?

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 11-09-2009, 08:09 PM

"Health sells via internet"

You mean you didn't know that? I'm sure there are many people here that will give you success stories regarding their Internet health sales.

Selling over the phone, Internet, mail and fax has its disadvantages, but they are all greatly overshadowed by one simple fact.

You can "see" more people over the phone in an hour than you can see in person in an entire day.

Thanks Alston. Point taken.

jacobvats · 11-18-2009, 05:58 AM

I liked your site, but from seo point of view there should be more content and picture should be clear
