Welcome to the 21 new subscribers since the last newsletter!

My new picks this week: an established ecommerce business and a very new Saas. Read on!

1) Riding The Globe: https://www.ridingtheglobe.com 

This is an ecommerce store built on Wordpress - the main products sold are travel e-books. Ebooks don’t suffer from seasonality, so there won’t necessarily be high seasons or low seasons for these products. As with most digital downloads, the buying process is automated and customers receive their books immediately after purchase.

A lot depends on your marketing abilities though - you’d have to be able to maintain a reasonable level of marketing to sustain this business.

The current business owner uses Google advertising to ensure that marketing stays constant. Future buyers would be able to determine their best fit marketing mix, of course.

What is included in the sale?

  1. Brand assets

  2. Advertising materials

  3. Lifetime resell license for all products

  4. Ads data, keywords, etc.

  5. Customer database

  6. Domain

  7. Hosting account

  8. Relevant e-mail account

  9. Website files and content

  10. e-Commerce platform account

  11. 1 month of post-sale support


Potential growth opportunities: 

  1. Expand sales to other countries 

  2. Consistently increase Google Ad Spend

  3. Start advertising through social media (Facebook & Instagram)

  4. Increase the product price 

Purchase Cost: $15,000 (a little higher than the usual price point for this publication, but it’s a going concern and already generating revenue 🙂 ).

Estimated Current Monthly Revenue: ~$5,000

Estimated Current Operating Costs: ~$2,300 (likely a large chunk of this is advertising costs)

Purchase on: Tiny Acquisitions

2) FormZen: https://formzen.co 

I almost didn’t share this one 🙂 

This is a form creator with a cleanly designed landing page. You pick the front end on the form (i.e. how it looks to your form fillers). They work on the back end.

This is a pre-revenue Saas tool, but affordable enough (at $500 only) for anyone to start from scratch and invest in marketing.

Tech stack: Airtable, Slack, JavaScript, HTML, PHP, jQuery, Stripe

What is included in the sale?

  1. Domain

  2. Website

Purchase Cost: $500 (pre-revenue, but has good potential to grow with the right marketing plan).

Estimated Current Monthly Revenue: N/A

Estimated Current Operating Costs: $10

Purchase on: Tiny Acquisitions
