Hey folks! Hope all is going swimmingly well in your online empire.
I had a really great summer. Though I didn’t do much traveling, my daughter went to my cousins house for almost the entire summer, which provided some serious “me” time.
In 8 years, I’d never had a break like that before. I was initially baffled by all the free time I had! The first week I woke up with butterflies in my stomach every morning. I was actually nervous not having my kid around.
I hardly remember what my life was like before child rearing as a single parent. But I quickly grew to appreciate the no cooking and no grocery shopping perks. Plus I got to see so much of the city at night! Woo-hoo!
Eventually I did some work. Created a bunch of new infoproducts, yada, yada, yada.
By August I grew achy from my newfound freedom and was glad to see mini-me come back home. What will I do when Miss Independent ships off to college in 10 years? Uuuugh… I don’t even wanna think about it.
Anyway, I had a few really good infoproduct launches over the summer. I had a couple nice ones in the spring also. And there were two cursory duds thrown into the mix. You can’t win ‘em all, ya know.
Business overall has been sweet though. I’ve been doing this desperate e-book stuff for several years now and I have to admit that I’m still amazed at how it supports my little family.
Case in point…
I have 8 “actively producing cash” websites in the online atmosphere right now.
I’m talking about sites that generate anywhere from $500-$8K a month. (The highest producer is an Internet marketing product that I’ve written under a pen name.)
In the past year I’ve quietly sold off another 4 “actively producing cash” websites. As you may recall (or not) I used to sell turnkey websites, and even wrote a pretty comprehensive e-book about it around 9 years ago. (Don’t even ask me where that thing is.)
I may not be the bestest blogger out there – (Ha, ha!). But I do know how to generate consistent income by writing something once and selling the shit out of it. That’s why you don’t hear much complaining from Alexis Dawes.
Hard work really does pay off.
And that brings me to the purpose of this post… My hard work could be your part-time income.
Desperate Buyers Only has been on the market since 2006.
I have done virtually NO promotion for it over the past 14 months. And yet it sells, and sells, and sells. Lemme show my sales figures for the past year:
August 2010 – $2,425
July 2010 – $2,910
June 2010 – $3,033
May 2010 – $3,031
April 2010 – $2,162
March 2010 – $1,964
February 2010 – $3,830
January 2010 – $3,322
December 2009 – $3,460
November 2009 – $3,977
October 2009 – $3,783
September 2009 – $3,201
TOTAL: $37,098 over the previous 12 months
The money I’ve made from this ONE e-book is a full-time income for A LOT of people out there. And that’s from a year of no promotion from me. If I’d be a little kinder in the marketing department, I have no doubt that I’d be doing $5K a month in sales from it.
But then again, that’s the beauty of knowing how to write and sell e-books.
When I get bored with one project, I can move on to something else and still make a lot of money. Heck, there’s no use in being in business for yourself if you can’t enjoy everything that you do.
If you’re an entrepreneur who feels unhappily forced to do anything that doesn’t please you, then you might as well go get a 9 to 5. That’s my philosophy.
In any case, I’m bored with DBO. Yes, it’s successful. But it kinda just lingers in my portfolio. And I don’t want it to linger.
I want to hand it off to someone who’s excited about it. Someone who believes in the DBO premise and wants to blog about these concepts. Someone who can nurture it and just really keep it going. I’d LOVE to see someone else make a mint from this project like I have.
Would YOU like to be the new owner of Desperate Buyers Only?
Would YOU like to have super affiliates like Brian Clark from Copyblogger and Yaro Starak from Entrepreneurs Journey on your team?
Would YOU like to have an “actively producing cash” website that has proven sales copy, and actual longevity in the market?
If so, drop me an e-mail.
I’m planning on starting an auction on Flippa later this afternoon, but I’d really, really love to see it go to a reader who can appreciate it.
Are you that person?

In any case, I’m bored with DBO. Yes, it’s successful. But it kinda just lingers in my portfolio. And I don’t want it to linger because it really is a great concept, and it’s evergreen. As long as people have problems, they’re going to be desperate to solve those problems.
