A recently purchased website, acquired in January for $9,800, is now up for sale. It has been a low-maintenance income source, particularly suitable for investors in online assets, generating revenue through a membership model offering access to a vetted list of drop ship companies. Membership options range from monthly to lifetime access, costing between $19.99 and $54.99. The site has accumulated 533 users, with about 87 active subscriptions and yearly earnings of $7,342 to $9,325. The current owner, based in Sydney, utilizes an Australian PayPal account, while the original account remains tied to the US but is unverified. The buyer can either link a US bank account or set up a new PayPal for transactions.
The website primarily targets online store owners and sellers on platforms like eBay and Amazon, providing access to suppliers and resources for drop shipping, a model where sellers don't handle inventory directly. It features automated subscription management via a WordPress plugin, and PayPal facilitates payments without refunding digital products, minimizing overhead work—except for occasional disputes.
Included in the sale are the website’s domain, content, a Facebook page, and the existing PayPal account, which secures an immediate recurring income from continuing subscriptions. The owner seeks to sell the site to fund new tech start-ups, with a reserve bid set at 15 months of income, offering a substantial opportunity for the purchaser. Immediate support is offered for the initial setup, with payment options through Escrow.com and PayPal.
