The website is a fully automated money maker. It sells user manuals for 'any' type of product, device, camera etc... curretnly has over 400 manuals in pdf format on-line. Has excellent SERP for MSN and Yahoo, currently in the google sandbox but should be indexed in the next couple of months.
Most manuals can be found on the web for free and uploaded to the site. Why would people pay for something they can get for free you ask? because a lot of people don't know they can get them for free and with such great SERP they find ours first. The site is optimized for search engines and is powered by smart-shop, search engine friendly shopping cart.
The site is set up for authorize.net MA and gateway and paypal, would be a very easy transition to a new authorize.net account and paypal. All sales go driectly in to your bank account every day, its like free money!
Check for yourself, go to MSn or Yahoo and type in the specific make and model of any item that we have in inventory and you will find the listing anywhere from #1-#5 for example:
Type in:
singer fashion mate manual #1 & #2
canon al-1 manual #3 & #4
raytheon radar manual #3 & #4
raytheon radar ar 16 manual #1 & #2
sony mvc fd5 manual #1 & #2
This goes on an on, any product in the inventory has excellent SERP, 95% of the time we are listed above the manufacturers wesbsite.
The site is currently generating about $100/month with just MSN and Yahoo organic listings, no other marketing is being done. Once google gets the site indexed the trafic and sales should increase by 90% since 90% of internet users use google. The site will easily do $1000 / month with the current inventory of manuals, the more you upload the more you make.
Some hard to find manuals sell on ebay for 50-70$, you could buy some of these hard to find manuals, scan a copy and sell them over and over. The possibilites are endless for this site. it s very low maintence, fully automated, users find the manual, pay, and download all by them self.
Some have expressed a concern over copy right infringement and I have researched this in depth and feel that it would be very rare to get in any trouble for distributing manuals in this manner, the main reason being that the manufactures provide the manuals for free in the first place, therefore their economic concerns are not being infringed upon., Its not the same thing as copying and reselling music, software, videos, popular fiction or any other copyrighted material that is sold for a profit. I know that on the singer sewing machine website they have a link to an independant website to buy manuals, and specifically ask people NOT to contact them. Providing documentaton for older products is propbaly a hassle for most manufactures.
This site will definitely be a nice money maker very soon. Get it while its cheap.
Aksing price is $1000, this will definitely be a solid money maker, I wish I could keep it but I have another project on the table and need the money.
