    I am selling my profitable Graphic Design business called 5DollarBanners.com

    I hate to sell this but my time is limited now and I don't have time to get things done.

    The website is VERY lightly advertised on forums. When Advertised heavily you will see the income stats below jump.

    This is a very profitable site which is shown as a PR5 on google(last time I checked). Like I said before I hate to lose this it is a good money maker.

    Current Product line and prices include:
    Banner Ad Design (all sizes Static or animated): $5.00 each
    Logo design: $25.00 each
    Header Design: $40.00
    Header and logo package: $65.00

    INCOME:
    Income (paypal) averages around $450 a month with light advertising.
    Many repeat customers come back daily/weekly for design orders.
    There is no other income other then Papal payments. I have not placed any ads on the site.
    Ordering is set up on html pages. there is no "script" that runs this It is very easy to use and change.
    Simply change a few things and your all set I would be happy to do this for the winning bidder.

    Income for May '06
    $65.66

    Income for April '06
    $470.63

    Income for March '06
    $592.98

    Income for February '06
    $1,007.27

    Income for January '06
    $493.89

    Total Income
    $2,630.43

    Average monthly income is around $450.00

    Please keep in mind. This is not a guaranteed income. Income as with any business depends on how well you advertise and the effort that you put into the business.
    I do not guarantee you will make the figures above it depends on your effort. This was my extra money business and I put in light effort to bring in more sales. Put in allot of effort and I think you should do way better figures then I have shown with my light effort.

    I am also including in this sale the following domain's.

    Domain: EXPIRE:
    1dollarbanners.com 02/21/2007
    fivedollarbanners.com 01/09/2007
    5dollarbanners.net 01/30/2007
    4dollarbanners.com 01/22/2007
    All Domain's are registered at idotz.net. You can open a free account with them and let me know about it and I will push the domains over into your account.

    HOSTING:
    website is hosted by myself with it's own cpanel and email. I will be happy to keep it active for the winning bidder until you are able to transfer it to your own set up.

    I would like to see offers but please keep in mind the monthly income. PAYPAL ONLY pls.

    If you have any questions just let me know.

    Is your income NET or GROSS? who does the work, how many designers are on the team, whats the cut between you and a designer and how many contracts per month do you process?

    Thanks!

    aspidov & mcfc4eva, The income is all profit the only expences I have are a $13/month hosting bill. I am the only designer. Usually I have about 2-3 pages of payments in paypal per month in my history reports.

    zappy I have advertised (posted) on about 25-30 forums about 4 month ago but have only kept up on the most profitable sites out of those.

    condemons I have one link I think from one of my sites but it doesn't bring in any traffic. Traffic comes from search and forum posts. No paid advertising. There are links that come from customers.

    thrawn I am looking for something in the $xxx - $x,xxx range

    I think I got everyone's questions if I missed something let me know.

    This is obviously a site for a designer or someone willing to pay designers. I'm interested in it as I am the former.

    Your scratch file(s) - about how many do you have and how many different bg/pattern/shapes are you working with, or do you actually do them from scratch every single time? Also, Do we recieve all the PSD's for previous banners?

    How many hours per month do you spend designing?

    How many customers are repeat? This is my main concern since the income has dwindled to almost nothing this month.

    What is the item breakdown for products sold? I am curious what percentage of sales or for what products.

    Does the site come with a complete list of all previous customer names and email addresses?

    Hi guys, Here are the answers to the questions you asked.

    I don't use templates for the creation of banners. Each is done from scrath. I can however provide the new owner any files
    I have of previous designs. I have a few hundred on cd. They are a mix of fireworks png and photoshop psd.

    As to the amountof hours I spend on designs I have no idea I haven't kept any records of that.

    There are a number of customers that come back for more banners. I can also include contact of past clients

    I have been sick last month and also still down this month which is the reason I am selling my "baby" I had the site ordering closed for
    a while which is why the stats droped. I also didn't do much in the way of promotion for the site.

    I just went through my history reports from jan to april. you will see the numers next to the product. The numbers shown represent an order and
    how many of the product that was ordered. I have totaled it up at the end.

    This would be such a great site for people with a low cost of living. I can't believe nobody has posted BIN yet.

    The thing is, you have to be a designer to stay in business. Or you could hire a designer for a 25/75 split, but then again there isnt much NET revenue for you in the end.

    Another downside is that you have to run this full time, which is not an option for most of the people.

    Just wait some time and there might be a few interested people. I am guessing it will be someone with a network of webmaster related sites, like me ;)

    Not trying to trash the sale thread, just saying how it realy is going to be. Good luck with the sale!
