I have owned and operated www.modaimports.com for a while now.

If you go to the site, you will find out that I really did wholesale designer handbags. This is true. But I grew tired of how much work it was and the constant potential to take a huge loss. So I changed the site to sell the sources. I have made $6,500 since Jan 15, 2004.

My question is this, should I change the site to a hard sell by using a advertisement / sales letter format. I think it would work, but think people buy now because it is unique and I might lose sales if I change it.

Your input is appreciated.

If you are saying you made $6,500 since Jan 15 of this year just selling the supplier list, then I say leave it alone, that's darn good IMO.

What you can do, however, is to get another domain, write the sale letter, and drive traffic to see if the sales letter will convert better.

If you have this successful website I would suggest that instead of changing it you build another site and link the two. This way one would
help build traffic for the other.

An Alexa search shows that you already have some nice linked sites.
