What is Website Flipping?

Website flipping is simply a business of building websites or blog from scratch and/or buying and selling websites to make profits. To make web property flipping business to be lucrative and attractive, you have to do it from a unique angle. The reason for this is because of the fierce competition site flippers are currently facing in the auction marketplaces.

What will make your websites for sale to go fast is a function of two important buying elements, namely, the consistent net profits the virtual real estate is making with corresponding low maintenance cost and the volume of free targeted traffic it currently generates.

Some websites investors may consider the unique design of the website, mailing list, the age of the domain, the licenses and scripts the website has, and other buying variables. That is okay! But if your website for sale is not making money and/or generating free targeted traffic, it may be difficult to sell website fast at an auction marketplace for small fortune.

You can make money online building and selling turnkey websites targeting specific niche markets that are in demand. This is how you will go about it. Look out for evergreen markets or trending topics, investigate a niche in the broad market that has problems to solve. Research for the solutions to the problems and develop a digital product in the form of an electronic book, audio, or video for the niche market.

As soon as you are ready with the digital product, you can set up a landing page style website to sell the ebook, audio or video product. You have to write the sales letter, set up the payment processing system, secure the download pages and files, and so forth.

Do a bit of promotion to start driving targeted traffic to the website and make sales. You have to prove to your prospective buyer that the turnkey website you are selling is already making money online. More often than not, turnkey websites are quickly snapped up by websites buyers because of the market potentials.

With that said, what is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a business model, where a marketer (herein known as the “affiliate”) decides to promote and sell a product or service on behalf of the owner (herein called the “merchant”) for a reward known as affiliate sales commission for every sale he makes.

This is how an affiliate marketer goes about his affiliate marketing business as a middleman (i.e. as an information provider) between the buyer and the merchant. First of all, he researches an affiliate network to join and he signs up with it. It is free to join most of these network programs on the internet. Sincerely, I wouldn’t pay a dime to join an affiliate network program for whatever reason.

Secondly, the affiliate marketer researches and selects a profitable niche market and product to promote from the network. In some cases, individuals with products can also set up their independent affiliate program for affiliates to join without going through a network.

Next, he conducts keyword phrase research after product selection to pick key phrases with low competition to write articles about. The articles to write will cover subject topics using the search terms people are searching for on the internet that relate to the product to be promoted. The articles you will write will be presell or review type content that throw more light on the benefits and disadvantages of using the product.

Essentially, online surfers visit website or blog with an intention to:

(i)                  Buy something for the sake of convenience

(ii)                Find information about a subject or topic they want to know

(iii)               Network or chat with associates, family and friends as a social being

To this end, you will find out that starting an affiliate marketing business is the smartest way to reach these online surfers with the information they are searching for and at the same time monetarily rewarding yourself from the efforts of doing so.

For instance, if you build a website or blog about your passion, you can promote affiliate products in that niche market and get affiliate commission for every sale through your links. However, successfully getting started with affiliate marketing requires that you adopt either of two methods below:

(a)    Bum marketing method or

(b)   Relationship building and marketing method

The former method above is time consuming and can burn you out in a matter of days. In short, only few bum marketers are able to sustain the articles writing rigors which are in volumes on a daily basis. But establishing solid relationship and trust with your readers and website visitors through list building is what can take you to $2000 or $5000 monthly profits promoting other people’s products and services.
