Location Details
This is an ecom store run from my home in Sydney, but it could be run from anywhere in Australia.
Potential
I only spend maybe 10% of my time on this as I have a full time business I run that takes all my time. For not having any time spent on it, it still ticks along in the background and covers costs, with profit depending on how much time I can invest which unfortunately hasn't been much. It has huge potential for someone wanting to run this full time. I haven't been strong on Marketing either, so this is a strong potential area for running ads to draw in more visits to the site, at the moment there is about 250 visitors per month.
Skills
If you have any marketing or ads knowledge this would be a bonus, but also something you can learn if you have the time.
Hours
As much or as little as you want. It's all online so no set business hours. I do 1 market a quarter which boosts income.

Reason for Sale
Only reason I am selling is because I am moving country and the products are all Australia specific. This has been my passion on the side and would love to find someone who has the same values and can give it the love it deserves.
