Selling Hammock Dropshipping Store | ECommerce Dropshipping Store | Professionally Setup Adwords Campaigns

    Hey everyone! I am selling a dropshipping website that sells hammocks and hammock accessories. The domain name is: http://hammockwarehouse.com.au/

    Website Information: HammockWarehouse is an online hammock store in the Australian market. There is low competition, the dropshipping contacts and connections have been arranged, the website has been setup professionally and I have had a Google Adwords professional setup the websites online advertising campaigns.

    Why are you selling this site? I am selling all of my side project as I simply don't have the time for them due to a new business venture undertaking. I will be listing the rest of my websites/businesses here shortly as well.

    How is it monetised? The website sells hammocks, hammock accessories and miscellaneous products. Profit margins are approx. 50%-75% which is uncommon for a dropshipping business.

    How is the website marketed? The website is currently setup to be promoted through PPC advertising. I have worked with a Google Adwords professional to setup the advertising campaigns and these campaigns can be moved to other search engines such as Bing with a few clicks if the buyer has the capital to run and test ads. I have a contact for someone who can manage the ads for the buyer for 10% of monthly ad spend meaning no experience is required on that side of things.

    How much time does this site take to run? Once setup and running effectively, the website will require management/maintenance time of just a couple of hours per week. During this time the website owner will be required to monitor ads or communicate with the ad manager, manage payments/finances, respond to emails and live chat enquiries, and place orders through the dropshipping product suppliers as they are made.

    Additional website information: The website is 100% ready to go. I put many many hours into setting everything up properly and is a sale I wasn't originally going to make as there is alot of potential for relatively easy success (in my opinion). It's not currently making money as I have been too busy to get things running. The website is currently getting some organic traffic and I know this as I have received several emails asking questions about products in the last couple of weeks which means there is a ranking on Google for some products already (in saying this, the organic traffic is likely below 10 visitors / day). The buyer will simply have to put anywhere from several hundred to the low thousands into Google Adwords and any other advertising methods they want to utilise to test what works and what doesn't and get the campaigns running profitably which shouldn't be too hard as someone will manage your ads for you and the technical side of things has already been setup.

    What's included: This sale includes the domain name, the website, logos, graphics and other files, the marketing strategy/plan, dropshipping and product supplier connections, Google Adwords ad campaigns, other professional contacts/connections, website running documentation/tutorial, unlimited after sales support for anything regarding the website/business, and transfer of the website to the buyers hosting account and assistance with getting the site setup and running effectively.

    I'm looking to sell within the next few days so please send me a message as soon as possible if you're interested. Asking price is $250 USD but I'm willing to negotiate if it means a faster sale. Preferred payment method is PayPal.

    If you have any questions, please comment below or send me a pm. Cheers everyone!

    Hey DP, if anyone here wants to preview the advertising campaigns as well then please send me a message and I can send through some screenshots. The sale is a bargain @ $500 USD but am looking to sell as soon as possible so if you have an offer I'd be wiling to consider it assuming we can get the sale moving.

    Thanks everyone!

    Price Update: Hey everyone! I've dropped the price to $300 USD!

    I spent $300 USD alone on the advertising and graphics so it's well worth the price. Looking to sell today/tomorrow so msg me asap if interested! Cheers!

    I'd love to see the stats on this. Do you have the site verified in Google Search Console?

    Also, a professional setup your ad campaigns - have you actually launched them yet? Seems if a professional set it up, you'd want to see how effective they are.

    Hey mate, I appreciate the response.


    I unfortunately didn't set any analytics tracking up on the website as it never got to the stage of running ads. When you search the terms "travel foot hammock" on Google Australia we have a product that is bouncing between pages 2 and 1. When you search the same terms in Google New Zealand it is also doing the same thing (and I found this out as we had an email enquiry from someone asking if we shipping to NZ).


    Some of the other products are on pages 2 to 5 so fee free to check out our product titles and search them into Google Australia. I haven't done any SEO work aside from posting the products to even polishing the on page SEO would improve the rankings of all of those products quite a bit.


    Regarding the advertising, when I found out about joining another person to start a business on YouTube I decided not to spend any money on ads for this as I needed to use that money for advertising on YT (stuff like channel shoutouts, purchasing old channels and funnelling traffic, etc.). I'm relocating from Australia to the USA shortly so am hoping to sell this soon (thus the low price).


    I do have another marketing strategy for advertising the website and this will be passed to the buyer. It isn't very technical and utilises gumtree.com.au but may be able to increase sales by several products each week.


    Please let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers mate!


    Kind Regards, Jake.

    You really didn't answer either question.

    You claim organic traffic - how do you know that if there is no analytics set up?

    Do you have Google Search Console verified? If not, please verify it so I can check the stats when they start reporting.

    Nobody is going to invest in potential - we need to see results.

    You may sell this to an unsuspecting noob, but not for that price.

    Hey there,

    Yeah no worries, I understand. The only proof I can provide are email enquiries and the views on the live chat application as that tracks unique visitors to some extent. I can set the site up with Google Analytics now and will send you a pm in a few days with screenshots or account access so you can check it out then.

    Currently discussing the website sale with 2 interested buyers but if I still have it on 3 days then I'll get that GA info to you. Cheers mate!


    Kind Regards, Jake.

    I have heard that for owning .au domain you needs to be resident of Australia and other people can't own this kind of domain.
