CASE STUDY: We created an online business at BuzzMug.com, and that website was geared toward selling coffee and tea related products. This site was created with only $5,000, which included purchasing all inventory. This site was also built and maintained using the RIGHT techniques of running an online business.
- Within the first year, the business generated $35,000 in sales ($20,000 profit)
- At month 12, this business was sold to a buyer for $75,000
- At the end of the second year, this business is generating $100,000 in sales per year with minimal work. AND THIS IS A 100% HOME-BASED BUSINESS!
