Hi
As some of you will know from my previous posts i sell physical products. Namely batteries and chargers.
Over the years i've tried increasing sales on our website. Initially i made the mistake of paying a lot for a website then didn't really send any traffic.
However i've now got a website that converts well and didn't cost the earth but i'm struggling to generate any real profit by the time i either pay Google for ads (shopping and PPC) or a web marketer to increase organic sales. The issues i found is that from a google advertising point of view a lot our keywords are classed as low search volume even though we sell a lot on Ebay/Amazon and secondly for most organic searches Ebay and Amazon are the dominating the first page of results.
The days of low CPC ads (like 0.05 etc) seem to be over. What i make on Google shops ads is swallowed up the clicks on ads that generate 0 sales.
So back to my original question, has anyone actually got a website that generates a decent amount of profit per month either as a standalone or compared to your Ebay/Amazon sales?
Thanks
Paul
