Default Need advice - What to do with a 5-figure/month profit stream?

-It's a blackhat stream pulling 5-figs/month. And it is scalable beyond this.

-It's safely repeatable to the extent of X people.

-It will last indefinitely taking into account the above info.

My Q's:

Is it possible to sell this big of a money maker and actually recoup enough money to make the sale worth it?

I would love to cash in on 1-2 years worth of this now. But, I'm not sure that is possible. It seems most of the "methods" and "systems" around here go for $500. I would need to sell to 1,000 and that's WAY beyond X. I would need to sell to a small group at a higher rate, rather than a big group at a lower rate.

Please don't ask for specifics. I really want opinions on what you would do in this situation.

If you can guarantee that people will make $10K a month, then sell it for $10K-$20K. There are people out there that will buy it, especially if they will make their money back in 1 to 2 months.

If you've got a proven system that can really pull 5figures per month, and if you are ready to offer a solid money back guaranty, you might be able to sell it to a smaller group for a high rate, like $1000 or even more.

I wouldn't mind paying $5000 or $10'000 or even more for a system that can make me at least $10'000 in the first month, but I wouldn't invest so much if I'm not given a really trustworthy guaranty. I guess every of your potential customer have that kind of mind set

Oh, come on. I hate pre-emptive, "I'll have a system for sale soon" threads. We're smarter than that here. Like mdd said, just keep it, or roll a portion of it into some profitable PPC /affiliate stuff. That's what I do with MY "four figs a month" stream. Sheesh.

And please, nobody write "how are you doing it, I want in" posts, please...

I can guarantee I'm not starting a thread here. Can't a guy ask for some advice? Sheesh.

Affiliate program is a good idea though, I never thought of that for this.

Yes. I totally agree with berry on this one. The only reasons I wouldn't be able to scale it would be two things..1 would be reliability of the method and how you spread it. 2 If it needs to be outsourced extensively. If this is the case, I might have a look at it, since I can get it outsourced.

But beyond that, I wouldn't sell that system. If ever I do only to a max of 5 people complete with NDA's and selling it for $10-$20k. If it really works.

My 2 cents.

If you're going to teach it to someone, teach it to an employee who you pay hourly to make money for YOU.

The problem is, it's all me. An "employee" I use I have to make up something and make them think they are not doing anything blackhat. They would just steal. I don't think an NDA/non compete would apply to something blackhat, nor hold up in court, lol.

I don't know. I'm not planning on selling it. But I was just looking for ideas, like one guy mentioned an affiliate program. That could work, if I can find a way to build it.
