Site just blew up in sales

23 replies
I purchased an ecommerce store for $3,000 about a month ago and have been working to improve conversion. Well this week I can say I am overloaded! I am getting a few sales a day, getting calls, emails, taking care of seo and on site stuff and need to do my accounting. If I can keep this pace or grow it even more I can see myself finally being able to create a stable team which has been my goal for years!

Won't be satisfied till I make about $500-$1000 a day in profits though hope I can make it happen this year

    Thanks guys I appreciate it long way to go till I am satisfied but it's a start. I am selling products it's an ecommerce store.

    I didn't buy the site on Flippa, a friend of mine knew a lady wanting to get out of the business she didn't touch the site for a year and had about 12,000 visitors a month going to it but not converting. The niche is powerful and growing too so I would have been a fool not to jump into it.

    I do buy and sell on Flippa however, sold my old ecommerce site on there for $7,000 and a few blogs for about $500 or so. I may sell my current site down the road but won't do it for less than six figures.

    I knew it was there had to take it, sucked losing $3,000 but it's coming back to me sooner than I expected so damn good investment. But the money I am making I am putting a lot of it back into the store, still have some conversion things I need to work on. I expect 6 months or so (if Google doesn't kill me) to have the lifestyle I been dreaming of, we will see though have some tough work ahead.

    Sounds like you made a smart decision. Are you thinking of starting an affiliate program at any point? I do feel affiliate sales only work in certain niches, so it may not be right for your site.

  • That is good news! Just don't change to much, keep doing what you are doing and then buy another e-commerce site and so on, rinse and repeat.

    Thanks for the feedback and kind words guys I love having affiliate promote for me it would work in this industry because I see alot of small blogs promoting amazon products, I will ether buy them out later down the road or offer them a better deal if they promote my site. Only issue is I have a yahoo store and I don't believe they have that feature so I will need to figure out how I can create one.

      I have used the Yahoo Store software. It was actually pretty easy to manage and was a good solution. Maybe you can get a brand new website built for your new business and have an affiliate system created. I know of a few softwares that you can use plus a few really professional templates depending on your niche.

      Feel free to PM me I would be glad to help your continued success.

    wow alot of messages sorry if I missed any! But thanks guys I know hearing of success can create it so anytime I reach a new point in my online career ill be sure to post it

    The yahoo store I have was professionally built, I am improving things such as checkout process, breadcrumbs, header, footer, product descriptions and pictures. I think me not building it from scratch allowed me to see it as a customer and not take it to heart.

    Right now the main source of traffic is all search engines, it's getting about 12,000 visitors a month, have some other keywords I want to target and hopefully turn that into 20,000 visitors and get conversion above 1%.

    I have risked so much and had many failures of losing money, but we can't succeed without failing and getting out of our comfort zones thought. I know it'll all come back to me and I am sure there are more failures ahead waiting for me. I just can't wait to prove everyone wrong and show that I can make this happen, I really have had no support and a lot of negativity towards what I have been doing these last few years.
