Build a fan site around one tour or event

Build a website about one big tour or event that's still going, with dates, venues, and ticket and merch links. It earns from affiliate commissions and ads while fans are searching.

The hard part: picking a tour early enough to show up in search before it peaks, and keeping every date and link current.

Who pays

Ticket and merch sellers pay a commission when fans buy through the site's affiliate links, and ad networks pay for ads shown on its pages. shubham_habib reports a 6-month-old site built around the ongoing Ella Langley Tour that earned $1132 in August from affiliates and ads on 17,589 pageviews.

How to build it

  1. Pick a tour with a long run

    Choose an artist tour or event series with many dates still ahead and fans who search for details. Niches people tend to ignore can work as well as tech topics.

  2. Build the site in Webflow

    Set up a simple Webflow site with a page for the tour and a page for each date and venue. Use Claude to draft the venue guides, set lists and travel tips.

  3. Add ticket and merch links

    Join ticket and merch affiliate programs and add your links to every date and venue page.

  4. Apply for display ads

    Start with Google AdSense, then apply to bigger ad networks like Mediavine once your traffic grows.

  5. Update dates every week

    Check the official tour schedule weekly and update dates, venues and links. Add pages for newly announced shows quickly.

  6. Plan for when the tour ends

    Before the run ends, start a site for the next tour or event, or list the site for sale on Flippa.
