Featured is an outstanding eCommerce opportunity in the large and growing disposable vape pen industry. Operating in the US, but currently managed from Australia, this business is ready to go and can clearly be managed from anywhere in the world. And did we mention they have built the business with zero ad spend?
Watch the video below to learn a bit more about the business.
Tell us a little about yourself. What’s your background? How did you start with this concept?
I’m a young father with two small children living in Australia. I have started and developed a few online businesses and really enjoy forming online businesses. As a former smoker I am passionate about giving every individual access to tobacco alternatives.
You’re based in Australia, but you’re doing business in the US. Should we assume that this can be run from anywhere in the world?
Yes that is true, my “day job” involves me working in a remote areas, with limited internet access for many weeks at a time. For this reason I developed the business to work independently and require minimal involvement.
Have you run advertisements in the past or has this always been an SEO led marketing strategy?
Due to the nature of the industry advertising is not allowed, therefore a strong SEO plan was implemented to gain traction in the market. This has been quite successful. I also prefer having organic traffic as it is a cost effective exercise that continues to build without the cost of running ads.
How much time does it take to run the business, who else is needed on the team, and what is automated?
Around a hour a week to respond to queries and another hour each fortnight to order stock and email the distribution warehouse.
Can you list a few opportunities for a potential new owner to continue growing the business?
With increasing popularity in the CBD market this would be the next logical step. I have sourced the products from wholesalers but with a little optimization it prove to be a lucrative revenue stream. The bulk juice range and refillable pod systems are quite popular so expanding the product range to meet consumer demand would be advantageous.
