Computers are perfect for online sales – have a look how successful Dell is. And Apple. Though I do not think you aim that high…

You can check more cases in our dropship computers category. Custom PC’s are not that popular for sale, but every household has at least 2-3 pieces and needs to replace them every 2-3 years (= repeat customers).

Description:

Ecommerce site aimed at the UK market for custom built PCs. There is a huge potential for this site to make good money if marketed effectively.

The dropshipper I use is fantastic, and can produce fantastic custom quotes for PCs. I would suggest the new owner use this as a unique selling point.

I have several other ecommerce sites and cannot manage them all, so am therefore selling this one, as it is the most complete site I’ve got, and therefore easier to sell. This is the only reason, and I have become quite attached to this site.

What you get:

Domain name and site (using Prestashop shopping cart) for www.sentientcom.co.uk (also the domain www.sentientcom.com)

Site is PR2. Free hosting for three months. The dropshipper has agreed to provide the new site owner a free dropshipping account. Email support from me in running the site. SEO optimised blog at www.sentientcom.co.uk/blog List of keywords identified as most relevant for the site.

Feature on site homepage to click through to get a quote – this has started generated quite a few queries lately. Logo jpeg.  Also jpeg of a homepage banner designed specifically for the site, which you can use if you want to. Site has paid listings on a couple of online directories (I paid for a year, 11 months to run)

Report by online marketing expert I paid for – I have implemented most of the changes but you would be free to make any of the recommendations I haven’t implemented Site is on the first page of Yahoo for “custom built pc”

Site is on first page of Google for “superior custom built pc” and “superior pcs”.

The site has had a lot of tweaking with regards to layout, and the last few months have been spent identifying keywords and optimizing the site and the blog for this.

I have been building backlinks recently (including a couple of PR7 & PR8 sites).

The site has made a couple of sales (including a custom built PC for over £1100). Traffic is starting to build. I would suggest this is a good site for a decent PPC campaign because of the £ mark up on the
products.

Revenue Details:

It is a dropship business.  Once someone places an order, you place an order with the supplier.  The supplier ships the product straight to the customers house and you keep the difference in price.

Traffic Details:

Mixture of PPC and organic.

Organic traffic is starting to build nicely.

Electronics are no doubt popular online products. Browse top dropship lists and see that most offers come from electronics suppliers. So from my point electronics are not the best products to focus though they sell really well.

What strategy to select for those dropship affiliates who are eager to build their business around electronics? I think the answer is similar to the tips you get when you ask how to enter his or that business with hard competition – choose a narrow niche (but with good demand) or focus on trends and new products coming to the market.

If you browse our category of dropship case studies and compare earnings across a number of products dropshipped you will see that electronics is not the top earner. So, I do not want you to discourage to enter electronics dropship business, I just tell you of my own opinion – though personally I have never tried to dropship electronics due to the above reasons.

This post case study does not impress me with the profits though the site could be a nice addition to the portfolio of similar dropship businesses to those who run dropship projects in the same niche.

Great way to get into ecommerce and build a business

Description:

This store has been in business since 2003 selling computer parts and mod supplies. We are resellers for a larger, well known supplier that has arranged to drop ship all of our products. You have the option to continue to drop ship or stock your own inventory.

Revenue:

We have stopped all advertising so traffic and sales are pretty low. The store has huge potential if you put the time into it. Even with minimal advertising, the sales will jump exponentially. Once you get established you can further increase your profits.

Traffic:

The site is currently getting about 400-500 visitor a day. Most of these are coming from google.

Why are we selling:

The site is a business and requires time. Unfortunately, we do not have the time that is necessary to sustain or even take the business to the next level. Instead of letting the business slide along on auto-pilot, we are looking to sell.
