What\u2019s your background? How did you start the business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minitura is a brand I created in March 2019. The site sells miniatures to people who love DIY houses(we even sell a collection of more than 30 models for miniature beginners and kids). The customers will receive kit boxes with all the necessary materials and need to assemble their own mini houses. I mainly sell miniatures to English-speaking countries(Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, the US) and have received great feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-are-an-e-commerce-business-where-are-your-products-made\">If you are an e-Commerce business where are your products made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-have-you-marketed-the-product-and-where-are-your-customers-originating-from\">How have you marketed the product and where are your customers originating from?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Organic traffic &#8211; We are established enough now to drive organic traffic generating sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google ads &#8211; I don&#8217;t really need to spend a lot of money with Google ads, but the ROAS is very high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook ads &#8211; Facebook ads always make the biggest revenue for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning customers &#8211; We have close to 100 miniature models, customers who have purchased from us before tend to come back often since making miniatures isn&#8217;t a one-off thing, it&#8217;s a hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-the-asset-on-your-listing-owner-operated-how-much-time-does-it-take-to-run-the-business-who-else-is-needed-on-the-team-and-what-is-automated\">Is the asset on your listing owner-operated, how much time does it take to run the business, who else is needed on the team, and what is automated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the asset is owner-operated, the model is already fully automated, you need to spend around 10 hours operating the business weekly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-someone-need-to-do-to-continue-operating-the-business-in-its-current-form\">What does someone need to do to continue operating the business in its current form?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spend more time on backlinks and referring domains, increase the community consistency, pay more attention to organic traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-list-a-few-opportunities-for-a-potential-new-owner-to-continue-growing-the-business\">Can you list a few opportunities for a potential new owner to continue growing the business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.

All orders can be synced via ERP and delivered within one click instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For non-US orders, we have another warehouse in China with more than 200 miniatures. The warehouse also provides an ERP system, everything is fully automated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once their inventory runs out, I will order more directly from the two miniature factories, they will ship out my order in 2 days and there&#8217;s no MOQ requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The buyer doesn&#8217;t need to worry too much about the purchasing and fulfilment process since I will provide you with all my connections, the only thing they need to pay attention to is advertisement and brand building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-this-business-make-money-what-are-the-current-revenue-streams\">How does this business make money?

One is a product sourcing business, the other is a wholesale website. Both two projects require lots of attention and cash flow and I am working on them with two teams. Although Minitura is a fully automated brand right now, I really don&#8217;t have enough time and extra cash flow to scale the site since I&#8217;m the only one working on it. I can provide more information and documentation regarding the validity of my current projects upon request.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/flippa.com\/10822025-2-year-old-profitable-fully-automated-diy-niche\">VIEW THE LISTING ON FLIPPA<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us a little about yourself.
