Case Studies

Alan Kong, a New York based Entrepreneur has built and sold two online businesses (with FE International) and is still a couple of years shy of turning 30. His favorite quote is by Mark Twain: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

Tim Seidler is a family man who spent years studying Interactive Multimedia and then went on to climb the corporate ladder like many people strive to do. It wasn’t until he moved to an E-commerce retailer that he amassed invaluable skills, knowledge and drive under the company’s visionary founder Jon Hoch.

A couple of weeks ago, we discussed the importance of conducting a website audit following the acquisition of an internet business. The step by step methodical approach that we follow at FE International works very well for uncovering opportunities that can then be planned and implemented. Before you start reading, it may be worth familiarizing/re-familiarizing yourself with our original post.

Unless you have been living under a rock (or a pile of glitter) for the last few weeks, you would have almost definitely heard of the site Ship Your Enemies Glitter and its sale on Flippa. The Flippa team did a great job with PR and attracted a huge number of bids with a final sales price of $85,000. Since then, Mathew Carpenter has been hailed as a genius and numerous high profile news publications have spoken about it.

The thought of starting an online business and turning it into a profitable company that provides you with both financial freedom and independence, is appealing to many. Some want to be able to be their own boss, others want to be able to spend more time with their family, and many want to be able to travel the world while they run their online business.

Working on one of the websites that FEInternational formerly owned and ran, we generated nearly 600,000 page views in a day using BuzzBundle as a promotion tool.
