Connecting Content Creators and potential Sponsors

This is a unique idea I thought about, so many companies are looking for Content Creators to sponsor, so many Content Creators are looking for Sponsors, why does it have to be so complicated?

At A Glance

Seller's Notes

What is included in the sale?

The actual website (Frontend + Backend), the domain campaigntube.net, the logo of campaigntube (The one that's in the website) , the CampaignTube plane & person drawing in the homepage, the database (without any user data) in .sql, the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
What is required to keep the business operational?

Constantly adding new content creators and companies to the website, an idea I thought about is raising the regular cut to 10%, and lowering it to 5% to those who mention that they found the Sponsor through CampaignTube, which helps promoting the site while still getting a profit.
Why are you selling the business?

I never really got to launch the website, as a student I don't have time to mess with such business and therefore I thought I'd better off sell it to someone who can dedicate himself to the business.
How does the business generate revenue?

Basically, when a Sponsor pays to a Content Creator for the paid promotion, he has to add a transaction fee. The transaction fee can be changed by configuring by changing a value in the backend code. That's how you can make money off transaction in the site. The website has it's own currency (tokens, 1 token = 1 USD), which the Sponsors buy, pay the YouTuber with for the YouTuber to withdraw it to real money by contacting support.
Are there any expenses for the business? If so, what are they?

Except support and a decent web host, you have to contact Content Creators and Company Owners, which can be done for free if you have good communication skills. If you take my idea of reducing the fee for Content Creators that promote CampaignTube, Content Creators will start applying alone, using the form that is already set up in the website (see - https://www.campaigntube.net/application.php). Companies will also start creating accounts themselves as the company grows.
What marketing initiatives have been used for this business?

I didn't start advertising this project yet, it sat there for a while and as I mentioned, I don't have the time / motivation to start going with this project. Everything but some configuration and finding clients is mostly done. I really want to see someone running and succeeding with it. I spent well over $1500 on this project and it's quite sad to see it go, but let's get back on topic.
How can the future owner improve the business?

I hope the new owner is more motivated than me and has big plans. I'd suggest taking my suggestion and reducing the fees for those who promote CampaignTube, but this is just my opinion and it's all up to the new owner.

Additional Information

CampaignTube has its own Payment System, Messaging System and Scam Prevention System, in addition to the User System, Application System e.t.c.
We made the Tokens so that we have control over everything, so we're able to cut our fee, we're able to prevent scamming and basically keep everything on our end. To prevent Scamming, which is something that happens often in this business, we used the Submarine Technique: First, the potential Sponsor searches for a Content Creator to fit his needs, clicking the "Campaign" tab in the navbar. After finding him and messaging him, they'll come to an agreement. The Content Creator has a button to request payment (In tokens, of course) from the Sponsor. When he clicks the button a box pops up, there he specifies the amount of tokens he requests and what the Sponsor will get in details. After the Sponsor buys the tokens and click the button that has popped in the conversation with the details and the amount of tokens he has to pay, the tokens are "on hold" until the Content Creator does what the tokens are for (Ex: Upload a trailer), neither the Sponsor or the Content Creator have access to the tokens at this point. After the Content Creator is done as required, the Sponsor releases the tokens with a button in the conversation. He has no reason not to if he already got what he wanted, as he cannot get his tokens back without contacting support (in the case of the Content Creator scamming by not doing as required). But if he does not release the tokens after getting what he paid for, for whatever reason, the Content Creator may contact support which will release it manually.

Note

I'm currently facing a few technical problems with the website, therefore you shouldn't be able to create accounts temporarily. This will be fixed when I'm done properly setting up the database on the new host (I moved hosts not long ago). Interested buyers will get a YouTuber account to test the features themselves.
