Case Studies

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.

“It was great to work with FE International who found a strategic buyer who understands the value of content sites and the high margin business model. ”

“It was an amazing experience to work with FE International. We were impressed with the speed of the sale, how quickly you found appropriate buyers and how qualified they were. We hope that this will turn into a great business opportunity for the new owners and an awesome experience for the existing team. ”
