How to Start a Profitable Events Promotions Business - Even If You Don't Organize Events Yourself

If you're active in your local community or plugged into what's happening around town, there's a smart way to turn that awareness into income—even if you're not an event organizer.

Thanks to YuSocial's event and marketplace features, you can now start your own Events Promotions Page, share upcoming events happening in your area, and earn commissions on ticket sales—all without needing a personal website or complex tech setup.

Let’s show you how it works.

What’s the Opportunity?

Every weekend, there are parties, concerts, workshops, trainings, religious gatherings, exhibitions, and festivals happening around you. Yet, most of them go unnoticed because:

• There’s no central place to discover them.

• Organizers don’t always have the marketing skills or reach.

• Ticket sales are often poorly managed.

Now imagine if you created a YuSocial page that became the go-to source for events in your area—say, “What’s Happening in Enugu” or “Lagos Weekend Buzz.”
You regularly post upcoming events, help organizers sell tickets via YuSocial's built-in marketplace, and earn a commission for every ticket sold.

That’s a real business model. And it’s wide open.

How It Works

Here’s a step-by-step blueprint you can follow right now:

✅ 1. Create a Dedicated YuSocial Page

Start by setting up a YuSocial page with a catchy name that reflects your city or niche. Examples:

• Enugu Events Now

• Aba Business Seminars

• Weekend Lagos

This page will serve as your brand—where you share, promote, and curate all things events in your region.

✅ 2. Post About Local Events (Even If They’re Not Yours)

Reach out to local event organizers or just republish public events you find online. You can:

• Share event flyers and info.

• Include registration links and ticket prices.

• Give early-bird reminders or countdowns.

Make it consistent. Over time, your page becomes the place people check to know what’s happening nearby.

✅ 3. Sell Tickets Through YuSocial Marketplace

Here’s where the money comes in.

With YuSocial’s ticket-selling feature, you can:

• List events as products in the Marketplace.

• Collect payments online.

• Deliver digital tickets or access codes.

• Track who’s buying.

You’ll earn a commission per ticket sold, after YuSocial takes a small platform fee.

Example:

• Ticket Price: ₦5,000

• YuSocial Fee (10%): ₦500

• Your Commission (10%): ₦500

• Organizer Receives: ₦4,000

Just agree with the organizer upfront on your commission structure and list the event under your affiliate account or assist them in managing the listing.

✅ 4. Promote Using YuSocial Ads or YuCoins

Boost your posts and page using YuCoins (earned from content) or run targeted ads via NG Adverts. Target users in your location and interests like:

• Entertainment

• Religious Events

• Business Training

• Lifestyle & Fashion

You’ll help more people discover your page and the events you promote—resulting in higher ticket sales and more commissions for you.

✅ 5. Grow an Email or DM List

Encourage visitors to follow your page and sign up for weekly updates. Use private messages or community groups to:

• Send early access to ticket deals.

• Share exclusive promos.

• Offer giveaways and discounts.

This builds long-term loyalty and recurring traffic.
