A WordPress plugin business, featuring two advanced plugins, is up for sale due to unmet reserve in a previous auction, with a lowered reserve this time. The primary offering, a popular backlink-building plugin, WpSbox, and its premium add-on, Wpsbox AAL, facilitate automated and affiliate-driven sales. Originating on a prominent marketing forum, the products gained traction through word-of-mouth and regular updates. The owner seeks a lump sum sale to focus on a new software project. Since inception, the business has generated over $40,000 in sales, driven by forum interactions and minimal advertising. Customer refund rates are notably low at under 3%, compared to the industry average of over 9%.
The sale includes full rights to website content, source code, promotional materials, and the plugins, excluding forum accounts and buyer lists due to policy restrictions. The new owner can update the products as desired, with the seller ensuring existing customer support. The plugins are sold under various licenses, offering differing levels of service and pricing. Prospective buyers are promised a profitable venture with opportunities for continued growth through affiliate programs with 10-14% conversion rates.
The business has experienced significant visitor traffic and maintains a strong brand presence in its niche. Additional support for customer service costs around $200/month. Marketing efforts have included banner ads and potential new avenues via AdWords. The owner stresses the security of the transaction through specific escrow conditions, emphasizing a seamless transfer once satisfied with the buyer's credentials.
