Playstation Dropshipper

PSP Dropshipper

Video consoles, video games, video console accessories – PSP, Xbox, Nintendo – are hot online sellers for a couple of years now. And the trend is likely to last. This proves Google Insights for Search tool as well as the list of eBay top sellers where you can always spot some of the products from this category.

It is definitely worth checking with verified dropshippers what they have to offer and at what prices

Now when you have examined the product line it is time to have a look at the profitability of this sort of dropship business. And the owner is generous to provide us with some details in addition to mentioning of $2000 monthly revenue – he provides a detailed breakup of the prices for 5 top products – invaluable information:

Pandora Battery
- We receive $15.14 and supplier price is $6.40

Pandora Battery & 2GB Mem Stick
- We receive $26.14 and supplier price is $14

Pandora Battery & 4GB Mem Stick
- We receive $33.14 and supplier price is $17

Pandora Battery & 8GB Mem Stick
- We receive $45.14 and supplier price is $21.5

16GB Mem Stick
- We receive $77.14 and supplier price is $46

What is our conclusion? Yes, very nice profitability. And you have enough ground to compare these prices with the prices that your dropshipper will offer you

Another important issue – how to drive traffic to your store. There are a few ways to get your potential customers to the door of your dropship store – e-mail marketing, SEO, PPC, CPM, social sites, etc. some techniques do not fit some do – the project in question is a few months old, so the most expensive and the fastest way to drive targeted traffic is applied – PPC (Google AdWords) though with time it is possible to expand the list of traffic sources.

PSP Dropshipping Business – $2000+ / Month

Easy To Run – 1Hr/Day At Most – Low Competition Niche – Awesome Deal

• URL: www.PSPPandora.net
• Established: Wed Jan 14 2009
• Page views/month: 2,400
• Monthly Revenue (USD): 2,000
• Uniques/Month: 1,300
• BIN: $12 000

Description:

My site: www.PSPPandora.net

A premium established website.

It is a dropshipping site for Playstation Portable (PSP) accessories, especially batteries and memory sticks. The custom design was done by a professional designer. The writing was obtained from other sites and our dropshipper’s site.

The site is very easy to run and requires about 1 hour per day at most to process the orders and answer customer e-mails. All products are shipped through a dropshipper so there is no need to maintain inventory or anything like that. You receive an order and payment, then you send the dropshipper the payment and order, and the product will be shipped out directly to the customer. No work on your part. Very straightforward and easy. Also, we have some of the best prices on the net for these products.

You will get complete information about the dropshipper, and if you buy in bulk, you can get even more savings.

This highly targeted niche isn’t very competitive so there is great potential for high profits. Every PSP owner wants to install custom firmware, custom applications, games, etc. So the demand for these products (Pandora Batteries and Memory Sticks) is really high.

This supplier has accessories for many other video game consoles. As well as other non video game accessories. So basically, by buying the website and getting the supplier, you’d have access to a vast number of items at very low prices. So you can easily make similar sites for other video game platforms.

The current BIN of $12,000 is only about 6 months of profits and considering the new owner will receive the supplier source as well, opening new windows, its reasonably firm priced.

Why am I selling?

I am currently in Medical School and had made this site mainly to sell it as I don’t have much time to expand it.

Traffic & Revenue Generation:

Most of the traffic is generated through Adwords – Both Search and Content networks. The new owner will receive the campaign as well as some tips and tricks I have learned along the way to maximize the revenue. I have tried a lot of things so I know what works and what doesn’t. Occasionally, I have also posted on different PSP related forums in relevant topics and sections. I also posted a few products on eBay. However, I didn’t have time to do any of that much. Mainly (over 90%) is through adwords. The campaign is for $10/Day. So about $300 per month. I tried different things and I believe now the campaign is tweaked. The new owner can also try things and I’ll suggest things as well. I also have few other advertising tips that will help that I will mention to the new owner and not release here in public.

Occasionally, I also get e-mails asking for custom pricing and such, so those add to sales as well.

More promotion, SEO, etc. would easily increase the revenue but since that’s all “potential” it’s not included in the price of course Adding tutorials, FAQs, etc. would drastically increase the search engine rankings.

I will provide one year of hosting for free.

All payments are collected through Paypal and also paid by paypal to the dropshipper. You will just have to change the paypal codes to yours. I can help transition the site completely.

Now for product margins:

Five main products:

Pandora Battery
- We receive $15.14 and supplier price is $6.40

Pandora Battery & 2GB Mem Stick
- We receive $26.14 and supplier price is $14

Pandora Battery & 4GB Mem Stick
- We receive $33.14 and supplier price is $17

Pandora Battery & 8GB Mem Stick
- We receive $45.14 and supplier price is $21.5

16GB Mem Stick
- We receive $77.14 and supplier price is $46

Those make up about 90% of our sales. Other 10% are mixed combos, people choosing to buy like 3 8GB or 3 16GB etc.

All the payments in the screenshot represent products sold from the site. The odd payment prices pertain to custom payments.

This is truly a great opportunity and you can earn for doing practically nothing. Requires no maintenance. And you can start right away.

The BIN is set at about 6x the monthly revenue which is reasonable and a bargain for such a premium site. All screenshots attached.

We will accept Escrow.com, Western Union, Wire.

Another dropship business case study is about popular video gaming console – Sony Play Station. I have mentioned in my previous posts that this type of product stays on the list of top eBay products for years now – and I have a feeling tat it will last forever…

The niche really looks promising though I have no experience with it. The below PSP dropship website was established a few months ago and is already profitable. I do not like the fact that it entirely relies on AdWords traffic – it is quite expensive and not always great for conversions, but the site is a few months old and it has no chance of getting organic traffic (but it should build its mailing list already).

The dropship case in question has quite nice design and it is not always the case with other dropship businesses covered on our website

Ugly design is the first step of losing the potential customer’s credibility. Our task is to do our best to make the visitor feel he deals with a reliable e-commerce site. To achieve that, we should either imitate the features of top e-stores in our niches or we should follow general e-commerce trends and tips

It is a certain way to increase conversions and profitability of our online dropship business. I know from my experience – sometimes I would entirely focus on building traffic to dropship website and then feel frustrated that only a few visitors turned into buyers…

We have recently covered a dropship case of PSP. Now we have another similar case that also deals with PSP accessories. The dropship site brings the owner over $1 000 monthly, that sound good if you pay attention to the date the site started – May 2008.

I have already mentioned that this type of product is super popular online seller and you can find it among top sellers of the most popular online marketplaces

It might be a good idea to target with your dropship sites ONE niche (preferably selling some popular products) and build a network of sites that will help each other to rank with proper interlinking. Just take your time to choose that only niche as the proper choice will define your success or failure

Niche Playstation Portable Dropship Site – $1,000+/month Profit

Little Work Involved. Makes $1k or More in Profit Every Month

• URL: www.unbrickapsp.com
• Established: Mon May 26 2008
• Page views/month: 2,500
• Monthly Revenue (USD): 2,000
• Google Pagerank: 0
• Uniques/Month: 1,500
• BIN: $ 9 999

Description:

I am selling my niche Playstation Portable (PSP) accessories site. I am selling this site because I need the extra funds for a separate project. This site brings in profits of $1,000+ per month.

This is an extremely easy to run site, every item sold is shipped through a dropshipper. There are NO products to stock or handle.

I simply collect the payment, pay the dropshipper for the item(s), and keep the profit. The dropshipper then ships the item(s) directly to my customers.

The site focuses on selling the Pandora Battery. PSP users users need the Pandora Battery when their PSP becomes “bricked” or locked. This is a necessity for PSP users, making it a highly targeted niche with a worldwide market for a product that is in high demand and will be for some time.

Main traffic generation is through adwords with only about a $5 a day campaign. This and hosting ($9/month) are the only expenses. However, one year of hosting will be included with this sale.

Every item listed on the site brings is a 50% profit. The profit margin is huge. Hardly any upkeep involved, just placing orders with the dropshipper after payment from customers and responding to customer emails.

You do not need to be knowledgeable on the items being sold. I rarely if ever get a technical question, most of the customers are pretty tech savvy and understand how the items work.

I will provide support for the new owner to help get them up and running.

However, if you buy using the BIN feature, I WILL CONTINUE TO HANDLE THE PROMOTION AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ASPECTS OF THE SITE FOR ONE YEAR.

This will almost completely AUTOMATE the business for the new owner.

This will leave you with very little work involved. You really will be able to plug in and start making money with little work involved.

What’s included in this auction:

* The website and domain unbrickapsp.com
* Hosting for one (1) year
* Full support to help get the new owner up and running

What’s included if you BIN:

* The website and domain unbrickapsp.com
* Hosting for one (1) year
* I will continue to handle all promotional and customer service aspects of the site for one (1) year. The only thing for you to do is place the orders with the dropshipper once a day (once a day is recommended, but can be done at your leisure).

Revenue Details:

Revenue is earned by selling items with Paypal.

Traffic Details:

Traffic comes mainly through Google Adwords.
