Selling Websites- How You Can Make Money Online

June 27th, 2009 by Ed | No Comments | Filed in Selling Website Tips

Selling websites, otherwise known as virtual real estate investing, is an online business that has come to stay. Today more and more entrepreneurs are realizing the many benefits and profits potential of doing business on the internet.

 

To this end, the demand for domain names and websites is continuously increasing. That is where smart web designers and site flippers are ceaselessly making money online by delivering value in exchange for quick cash.

 

But to successfully make a living online selling websites, you have to offer value that fittingly meets a buyer’s need and not cookie cutter websites that leave much to be desired. No wonder why there are all manners of websites for sale with their owners fruitlessly seeking for buyers for months on end.

 

I have seen websites get sold 1-2 hours into auction. I have also seen sites re-listed a thousand times with no bid, no enquiries, and no questions being asked from interested buyers. The difference between the two is in the quality of product or service being offered. Does it meet the buyer’s needs? What are the factors considered when building the websites to sell? How do you market your sites for eventual and fast sale? You can get all the answers in my web flip book HERE

 

However, I will discuss some of the crucial factors that are critical to successfully selling websites in the site flip marketplace. Briefly, they are:

 

-                      Buying or registering a domain name that is specific to a niche market

-                      Building or constructing pretty and attractive websites

-                      Posting unique and original articles or content on your web pages or blog

 

 

Buying or Registering a Domain Name that is Specific to a Niche Market

 

More often than not, researchers, surfers, internet or affiliate marketers and/or product or service buyers rely on search engines to find the information they are looking for. In turn, search engines rely on keywords or keyword phrases on the content of web pages to return results to info seekers.

 

So, in order to get the favor and blessing of search engines to rank your URL close to first page results, your first strategy is registering a domain name that is specific to a niche market.

 

Take for example, “flip website business”. I opted for that niche and decided to register a domain FlipWebsiteForProfits.com. If you go to Yahoo! or Google and type “flip website” without the quote, my URL is on the second page of the returned pages. I am not on the first page yet, but I am getting close to it. This was facilitated by the choice of URL, title, headline and content keywords and key phrases. I cannot emphasize the importance of keywords in domain names enough.

Is Your Domain Name Appropriate for Your Internet Business?

June 25th, 2009 by Ed | No Comments | Filed in Domain Name Tips

Let me ask you, what domain name are you operating your internet business with? I am asking this question because the identity of your business starts with the domain and it is crucial to its success. In real world, you may have noticed that some individuals change their names to reflect what they think they are or believe in. Internet business is no different.

 

You may be aware that there are few major ways to locate a website online; namely, through direct navigation, web or anchor text link, word of mouth, and so on. And to gain sizeable number of daily targeted traffic to your website, your domain name must reflect the idea/objective/content of that website. That, to my mind, is the surest way to guarantee high conversion rate from your web visitors.

 

Take, for example, JobSearch.com. This website may not find a hard time attracting organic traffic as much as possible from the job searching surfers. Specific domains are search engine as well as human friendly. At a glance, you will be able to gauge what the website is all about with the help of the targeted domain name.

 

It is easy to build one way backlinks with keyword rich anchor text to the website that has a laser-targeted domain. Assuming I have posted an article in one of the free article directories with the title: “Domain Name Tips”. If my resource box has my URL as DomainNameTips.com and an anchor text link as “Domain Name Tips”, then I have a high chance of ranking on the first page on search engines when surfers are searching for that keyword phrase, holding other factors constant.

 

The bottom line of what I am writing is that your domain name must, of necessity, be appropriate for your internet business. There are a lot of advantages to it. You can effortlessly promote your online business over time thereby gaining high visibility. Your web visitors can easily remember your name too. It is not difficult to brand the domain name. In flip website business, these are referred to as characteristics of good domain names. Even in the event of selling your website, buyers will be willing to have it.

There is, however, nothing wrong if you register a name of your bricks-and-mortar business. You can do URL forwarding from one to the other as the case may be. Remember that the success or failure of an online business starts with a domain name.

Flip Website –The Quickest Way to Make Money Online

June 14th, 2009 by Ed | No Comments | Filed in Selling Website Tips

Flip website is one of the quickest ways to make money online. It requires that you buy or register a domain name, improve or build website for the domain name, monetize the website with your information products or affiliate products or Google Adsense and go ahead to drive targeted traffic to the site.

 

Allow the website to gather momentum by making money with it from any of the monetization channels or gain sizeable amount of laser-jet traffic. Keep track of your activities with any tracking code (free Google Analytics will do) and take some screen shots of all payments or income received. With the above records in your hands, you can then place the site for sale at an auction.

 

Though the above system seems straight forward, it does require some experience and work from the site flipper. The first of these is to know which niche market to base your flip website on. The site you intend to build must be highly targeted to a buyer’s need in order to sell it fast. So, niche research as well as keyword research is the foundation of website flipping business.

 

The second issue to look out for in flip website business is the design of the site. Make no mistake about it; the saying ‘beauty at first sight’ is important in site flipping. Web visitors are encouraged to stay longer on a website for two simple reasons. That is the pretty or attractive design of the website and good/quality/unique/original content.

 

If, for obvious reasons, you cannot design an attractive website/blog yet, you can use a professional to do it. Also there are free templates and blog themes available on the web which you can use for a start. You can start with these and then graduate to using professional web designer or paid software to perform the grunt work. The profits will always absorb the cost you incur in building the website to a saleable state if you choose a hot topic in a hot niche market.

 

If all things go well, the hardest part of website flipping is marketing. That is finding a willing and able buyer within the shortest possible time at a price you hope to sell. It is even more difficult if you have no selling websites portfolio at your disposal. This means you have no ready list to market to in the first instance. But the best way to turn this in your favor is to pad your flip website offer with unbeatable bonuses aside the pretty design and unique content I mentioned earlier.

 

Bonuses usually include customer support service, free transfer of domain name and website; free web hosting for the first few months for the buyer, a free guide on how to maximize returns on the website sold and so on.

 

I have put up an easy-to-follow report that will guide you in your quest to make money online in the flip website niche. Click Here Now to find out how to start flipping websites and domain names for profits.
