A website-building business specializes in creating keyword/niche websites for clients, offering packages that range from $50 to $200 per site. The business handles all aspects of website creation, including niche research and backlink generation. It employs a Virtual Assistant (VA) and a team of writers to manage the workload. Profits typically range from 40% to 45% of the initial price due to outsourcing expenses. Clients can also choose maintenance packages. The business experienced a surge in orders during September and October, necessitating the hiring of additional staff to accommodate demand.
The websites are built using the WordPress platform, with the popular Canvas theme from WooThemes, which allows for extensive customization. While the company's primary sales came from threads on a specific online forum, additional revenues also stem from other forums, though to a lesser extent. Notably, the majority of business leads originate from these forum threads.
Due to personal commitments, the original owner is selling the business, offering a range of assets including the domain name, website content, customer list, and support from the existing team. The sale also includes comprehensive documentation of the creation process and access to resources like the WooThemes account.
Various incentives are offered for higher bid levels, such as extended support periods and additional promotional efforts. The business has shown profitability through its operations, with a significant portion of the revenue allocated to outsourcing to maintain the quality and effectiveness of the service provided.
