Website Flipping Guide – How to Start Making Money Online Buying and Selling Websites

June 12th, 2011 by Ed | No Comments | Filed in Selling Website Tips

Do you want to know how to start making money online buying and selling websites? This short website flipping guide will help you to get started. But first, what is website flipping?

It is simply a system of building websites or blogs, optimizing these websites, posting content on it regularly, monetizing it according to the site subject theme, promoting it and making money from it before selling it to a buyer at an arm’s length transaction. Another way is to purchase an existing profit making or traffic generating web site at an auction market, revamp it and resell it at a higher profits.

The whole idea around site flip business is about buying and selling already profitable web properties on the internet and making profits from those transactions. In short, you will hear site flippers referring to domain name and website flipping business as virtual real estate business because it is akin to buying and selling real estate in the physical world.

Whether you are a webmaster or internet marketer, you can start selling web sites with start-up capital as low as $20. What you need is a proven site flipping plan and the time to dedicate to promoting the website or blog.

Sincerely, website promotion is the hardest part of making any blog to become profitable online. But if you have been in the internet marketing game for any length of time, you will know legitimate, smart and stealth ways to generate targeted free traffic without breaking the bank.

For me, the website flipping guide or plan I usually adopt to build a profitable blog is:

Research in-demand niche markets to confirm that there are people in the market searching for solution to a specific problem. There are abundance of free and paid tools and resources to do this.

Determine whether the market demand is sufficient to sustain any market player when he or she decides to invest his or her time, effort and money to build a website in that niche.

Analyze the market competition to make sure you have a chance of market visibility. Otherwise, your blog will take longer time than is necessary to make you money or be entirely buried in the dot com graveyard!

Register a keyword rich domain name. I will advise you to look out for exact search terms domain names if you can. For a comprehensive course on how to make money online in domain flipping business go here.

Install WordPress blog, install free tracking script, optimize the blog, post unique but quality articles on it, appropriately monetize it and aggressively promote it.

Make money consistently for at least three (3) months before flipping.

That is actually a synopsis of trading in virtual real estate business. But there is a simple website flipping guide I have put together for you on this subject when you click here.

This is a simple strategy to make quick cash per month assuming you don’t have the time and skill to build a brand-new website from the scratch.

 

Go to popular forums where internet entrepreneurs are desperate to make a sale at unbeatable prices like DigitalForum.com. Look for the sales section of the forum. But make sure you read their terms and conditions of service.

 

Search for websites for sale that are cheap, say $100 or less, and meet all the requirements of a good profitable niche website. For example, weight loss, acne treatment, etc are popular niches and will sell fast. Check if any of the websites or blogs that picks your interest is attractive enough to sell off when you are ready to flip the website. Or, alternatively, is the site already making money for the owner? If the site is selling for more than $100, bargain with the seller. When he sees that you are a serious buyer-to-be, the site flipper will consider your offer.

 

After buying the website of your interest, decide to upload additional 10 unique articles as HTML web pages or post them on the blog to promote it. Let the blog be a sub directory of the domain name. Write another 10 quality articles and submit them to free article directories of your choice to get backlinks.

 

Thereafter, you can take the website to SitePoint.com or Flippa.com and list at the auction market to sell it. You will be amazed how much you will flip the website.

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.
