It's tricky if you're doing it locally from small venues that only have at-the-door sales. But if you can branch out into recorded music and merchandise, those sell well too.
- starnix17 17y agoYeah, I do have ticket affiliate links but I make barely any money off of that. Although all the local venues do use Ticketweb, most people buy tickets at the door (or at the local box office depending on how popular the show is). It doesn't help that I marketed the site to mostly broke college students who probably go to venue box offices to avoid nasty surcharges.
- zgrrly 17y agoThat's true lsb, however, the paper's site will be marketing ads directly to those small venues and making $ directly from them, most likely. Ads are the key revenue there. Also, starnix, you'll def have 2 be careful about overpricing like olefoo mentioned, bcuz if they think they can do it cheaper, they will. I mistakenly bid too high when asked about something for a newspaper I work with and there was no negotiation... My contact said something about checking on it. Next thing I know, I see 'my' project done by them, albeit not as well and with mistakes, but obviously they didn't pay my price. :( Next time I'll ask what range they're thinking of first!
