How does it make money?:
Hotels Fairy earns a commission for passing qualified leads to hotel booking websites such as booking.com,?Expedia, hotels.com, lastminute.com, laterooms.com, travelocity and many more. ?When a user finds a hotel through Hotels-Fairy.com, they are shown the competing prices on the various hotel booking websites and can click through to their?preferred?booking site. At this point we earn a commission even if they do not go ahead with the booking, though our average commission rates improve when visitors do go ahead and book.

Why are we selling??
Hotels Fairy has been a fantastic source of passive income for the last 2 years and deciding to sell it has been a big?decision?for us. However, we have come to the conclusion that we need to focus on our core business and let someone take charge of Hotels Fairy who can give it the attention it needs to achieve its full potential. Although the site takes minimal work to keep up to date, our team has too many different projects and we need to free up some brain space.
If this sounds like a good opportunity for you, then get in touch with us and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
?
What is your reserve price?
We are unable to reveal the reserve price because it goes against the rules of Flippa.com. Please note that we will consider the highest bid if the reserve price is not met so it is still worth bidding even if you do not meet the reserve price.?
How will the sale take place?
We are able to accept payments via Bank Transfer, PayPal, Escrow.com, and Credit Card (PayPal). We will cover the Flippa and Escrow.com fees, so you will not need to pay these.
Scamper Ltd (UK Ltd company) will invoice for payment within 48hours of agreeing the sale. We expect payment method to be discussed in advance for the funds to be transferred within 48hours of being invoiced. It is essential that you have funds available to pay for the website before you place a bid. Please do not place a bid if you don't have the funds to complete the transaction.?
Once the payment is complete, we will transfer the domain, and other listed assets over to the buyer's business name. ?We will migrate the site at no cost to the buyer or transfer our hosting account into the buyer's name.?
We will provide all admin usernames and passwords required to operate the above listed accounts. ?We will provide full support for 30 days after the sale is complete. ?We will also provide a phone/skype training session to show you how to operate the website.?
?
Are you guaranteeing future revenue?
We are unable to make any guarantees that the website will continue to earn the same revenue but its consistent performance shows that it is a solid business and it has massive potential to grow revenues further.
?
Will you sign a non-compete agreement?
Absolutely yes. ?The reason that we're selling this website is because we need to focus on our core business and have no intention of running a competing website.
?
Do I need technical knowledge to run the site?
No, you do not need any technical knowledge or marketing experience to run this website. The website is highly automated and requires minimal supervision. Content can be updated easily via the WordPress control panel which we will show you how to use.?
