You are Getting a Business I Have built from the ground up myself personally.

The business earns on average US $889 per month with a NET profit of approx. $700 per month after postage, packigingand the actual Wulong Tea. Possibility exists to increase its revenue based on your willingness to undertake further marketing options.

Future Profit Potential
A couple things to consider here for making this a lot more lucrative than it already is.

More PROFITS through reducing Shipping Costs.
As I am in Australia, I spend a lot of money in shipping the wulong tea to international clients. If you where from the USA, and as 90% of all my clients are from the USA, you could make much more money as you would probably save about $10 per shipping that you could put in your pocket instead of trowing in the postal services vaults.

As I do not have enough time to dedicate to this business I spend very little in Advertising, as I do not have the time to dedicate to this business if it grows too much at the moment. So much so that I have to slow down some of my campaigns as other areas of my life have priority over making money online.

Therefore if you had time on your hand you could advertise more on the net and therefore get more clients.

I have a few hundreds back links all around the Internet.

I have promoted the site only through "ORGANIC SEARCH" and pay-per-click campaigns like Google Adwords and so there is a fantastic potential for additional revenue -- I've only been scratching the surface.

Here are just a few ideas:
* Spend more money on pay-per-click advertising.
* Do some additional search engine optimization to increase organic search engine traffic.
* Test market higher monthly subscription prices.
* Advertise on newsletters and ezines.
* The list goes on.

Marketing:
70% of the Wulong Tea business' success rate can be solely accredited to its fully optimised keyword functions (Organic Search), as per picture attached. By optimising the website with special keywords, it enables web users to locate the site at first instance via search engines such as 'Google'. This cost-free e-marketing strategy already proves itself to be highy invaluable. The rest of its 30% success rate rely on web advertising. This only costs about $45 p/m to run on average.

Automasation:
As I am in Australia, we do not have here drop-ship, if the buyer was from the USA, he/she would be easily be able to set up an Hand-free system, once the products are provided to the drop shipper.

Managing the Business:
This business virtually runs on its own with its web graphics, logo, business name, template, SEO optimisation and marketing strategies already in place.  All there is for you to do is to attend to the Wulong Tea orders when you receive them, as well as replying to customers emails (you can use the templates prepared for you).  As is, you only require approx. 2 hours a week or 10 hours of your time to maintain the business.

The Wulong Tea Business is 1 Year Old and is fully integrated with:

Ø Payment System (The money goes to your PayPal Account Instantly when client purchase)
Ø Virtual Secretary
Ø Pre-Designed Email Templates
Ø Pre-Designed Invoices
Ø Pre-Designed Brochures
Ø Mail Forms
Ø Etc.

You do hardly any work at all!

You do not have to know anything about Wulong or Oolong Tea, although studing the website would be a benefit.

All techie stuff is taken care of by a third party at no additional fees or charges to you.

Ordering the Wulong Tea is easy and very affordable as I can buy The Wulong Tea for $1.49 and sell it for about $49.95 (2 months supply) which lives you with an incredible margin.

Only the New Owner will be provided with the source and direct contact of our Wholesaler  upon payment.

Ø Self Development Products (www.effectivelifestrategies.com - NOT FOR SALE )

Will I get Support if I purchase this?
Yes, you will be given 4 Weeks 1 on 1 phone,email support and training.

Do I have to know coding or know how to install websites to run and operate this business? Absolutely Not! If you are business oriented and have any skills in operating a business sure that's a plus, but it's definetly not required.

This business will continue to run on auto pilot as it is and reap you the income each and every year or you can add as many more accounts as you want and expand it to double or even triple that amount of income.

Why would I sell such a nice business anyways?
Well, in short - I have too many businesses going and I am struggling to have time with my family which is my first and foremost priorty. So I am selling a couple of my businesses to recoup some of that time.

What is required of me to operate this bussiness?
A. Make sure you pay your Domain Name and Hosting bills (You can do that once a Year - if you pay yearly).

B. Answer emails when they arrive, you can use our pre-prepared templates for this.

C. Send the Orders or get someone else to do that for you.

Questions to the Seller

  1. this site was won for 13,000. Now you are asking for 25000??

  2. The site was won for $13,000 (conversation with this bidder has been posted on this action as an attached file) however even in the previous auction the Buy Now was still the same $24,950, and the reserve was still $12,000 as it is now.

    The Bidder had some family issued and was not able to pay the full amount straight away but in Instalment (that's why I have included in the auction now "NO INSTALMENTS"; as I want to move on with other family projects I need someone that can purchase this business directly and not in instalments.

    Therefore I decided to relinquish the previous winning bidder, as she did not agreed to pay for the full amount as for her bid of $13,000, once the auction was won. Waiting for a year of monthly repayments, did simply not work for me!

    So I relinquished her from the contract so that both of us could be free to:
    1) me getting the funds faster and
    2) this person getting on with their family issues.

    I hope this clarifies the situation Barry Man United

  4. Sorry 87Lakers if I provide this data I give a lot of my competitive advantage and time/money/efforts spent in optimazing the business itself maybe to individuals/businesses that might not even be interested in buying but just copying.

    Do not want to risk it. I hope you'll understand.

    This will be provided to buyer.

  5. This may sound stupid but presumably your not growing the tea yourself right?

    Can you list how much it costs you to receive the goods from your suppliers and what the average profit percentage.

  6. Not at all Zman. Interesting Question... :) The Tea cost me $1,49 and the seller has agreed to keep this price the same. I sell this for $49.95

    Now after packaging $0.30 cents, labelling about $0.05, wulong tea $1,49, paypal fee $2 and sending it (most of my clients are in USA so a USA owner could send it for about $5) this equal to $8.84 if than we include side cost like internet, petrol/gasoline related to the business maybe another $2 overall that's leaves you with about $10.84 cost and profit of about $39.15 which in my eyes is a great profit margin. Please note that for international customers the cost of shipping would be a bit more.

    By the way the Shipping and Handling cost are already included in the pricing anyway.

    I hope this helps

  7. Does the supplier have a minimum order? If so what quantity?

  8. The price for a unit of 125 grams is $1.90 AUD or about $1.75USD if you buy 10 or more youy can get it for $1.49 AUD.

    However if you are in the USA you could probably get a box with 50 and even get a lower price.

    I hope this helps

  10. Dear Julie

    As I have put so much energy in this business I will help anyone that decide to buy above the reserve price, with training, support, web graphic development etc. As I want to see this business continue to do well.

    The site has already been ptimised (SEO) and we rank first 4 positions on the first page in quite a few long tail search criterias in google.

    Inventory is easy as packaging and sending, that's about it. But I am happy to help you ge the business running under your ownership/management if you do decide to buy it.

    Regards
    Goldenpaths
