An agent out here
Acreage, ranchettes and new builds all move through you already, and an MLS feed switches on the real estate vertical from day one.
Live now, needs a publisher
Run the Elizabeth Guide
ElizabethCO.comIts own site, live now, covering Elizabeth and the rest of Elbert County. Small town Colorado on the plains, and nobody is selling it yet.
The property
Built, Live, and Waiting on Somebody
ElizabethCO.com is running now. It carries the business directory, the events, the neighborhood pages and the sections people actually search, sorted the way somebody in town would look for them rather than the way a national directory would.
Unlike the Douglas County towns, this one is its own site with its own name on the door. You would be the publisher of a town's guide, not a section of somebody else's.

The market
A Town That Still Runs on Main Street
Elizabeth sits on the plains east of Douglas County and it has the thing that makes a local guide work: people who genuinely need to know what is happening in their own town, and businesses that cannot buy their way out of the problem with a national ad.
The feed store, the diner, the dentist, the trades. None of them are getting anything useful from a platform that thinks Elizabeth and Denver are the same market. They are not. Everybody who lives there knows they are not, and that gap is what you are selling against.
It is also growing. Acreage and new construction keep pulling people out from the Front Range, and every one of them arrives needing to work out where anything is.
The deal
What You Get, What We Do
You, the Publisher
- Sell and grow the Business Alliance across Elbert County
- Bring in advertisers and keep them
- Be the face of the brand in town
- Show up at the fair, the chamber and the ribbon cuttings
Us, CityKits
- The site, built and hosted, already live
- Writers and editors producing the content
- Social channels and the newsletter, daily
- Ad delivery, billing, collections and bad debt
The first $2,500 of monthly market revenue covers what CityKits spends running Elizabeth. Every dollar above that splits 80/20 in your favor. No buy-in, no franchise fee, no territory purchase and no monthly platform charge. You never write us a check, because we bill the advertiser and pay you your share.
Terms are illustrative and not a projection of any market's results. CityKits has no operating Publisher history, and no market is guaranteed to reach any particular figure. The full Publisher page carries the complete economics, the ramp and the earnings model.
Fit
Who Runs Elizabeth Well
Somebody in local trade
If you have sold to the shops on Main Street or the trades around the county, you know who spends and who only talks about it.
A chamber or fair board hand
You already spend your week with the businesses that belong in the Alliance, and you go to the meetings anyway.
Anyone local who sells
Elbert County is small enough that being an outsider shows immediately. Being from here is the whole advantage.
This will not suit somebody who wants to write rather than sell, or who needs predictable income in month one. We would rather say that now than in month seven.

The next conversation is not an application. It is a look at the town, the businesses you already know, and whether the numbers hold up where you live.
