Opelika Sewing

For Sale on Flippa.com: Established Drop-Ship Website - 800 profit per month

OpelikaSewing.com is a drop-ship business for the Singer sewing machine company. Being drop-ship, you'll never have to handle any product. The process is extremely easy. Simply collect payment from buyers, submit the order to Singer via email, and pay the dealer invoice.

The OpelikaSewing.com domain is 4 years old. It's already listed in the Yahoo Directory, as well as numerous other directories. It's fully indexed by Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. It's also included in numerous online shopping systems, such as Google Products, NextTag, Best-Price, etc. We've also used it in social areas: YouTube channel, Facebook group, Twitter feed, etc.

You may notice that the site runs on an e-commerce package titled Niche Blueprint. Niche is simply CRE Loaded with plugins pre-installed, bugs corrected, and a few layout changes to the admin. It is extremely stable and easy to use.

I purchased this business early Jan. 2010 with the intent of improving it and selling it. Improvements made include:

significant SEO work
content improvement, focusing on keywords and sales strategies
improvements/modifications to the e-commerce system
marketing work (link building, social web marketing, etc.)

Between 12/17/10 and 1/24/10 (for the sake of simplicity, I'm calling this 1 month in my figures), the site made 8 sales. Revenue totaled $3426.

Profits were appr. $800, after the following costs:

dealer cost from Singer
Paypal payment %
$30 for Paypal Virtual Terminal/Web Payments Pro
$10 for hosting (HostGator package + static IP for SSL)
domain and SSL certificate

Jan.'s totals were 971 uniques and 2979 pageviews.

The majority of traffic was organic, coming from a mix of search engines and Google Shopping. Others came from our social outlets (Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, etc), a small $5/day AdWords campaign, directories, and others.

Opelika Sewing is currently listed at Flippa.com -- all bids must be placed there: http://flippa.com/auctions/84174
