Flipping: Sell Your Site And Get Fast Money

Flipping: Sell Your Site And Get Fast Money

Your website is your investment. You spend time and effort on it, not to mention some money as well. So in case you are in need of some fast money, you can actually sell your website and make money fast.

The concept of flipping applies, not only in the Internet world, but in other industries as well. Taken from the term “flippers” which is used to refer to traders in the stock market who buy and sell only during a short period just to make fast money, flipping is now gaining popularity as a way to make fast money online. Here are some of the things you need to know so you can make fast money out of flipping.

The concept of flipping websites is a broad one. You have many options how to go about it. Aside from just selling your blog or your website, you can also buy a website to keep it or simply to sell it again. Venturing into blog or site flipping is a bit risky. It requires a high level of investment at the beginning. Still, all of the blog flipping options are geared towards making you some fast money.

Let’s look closely at the first option. Selling websites may not be a typical option for many webmasters, even with the prospect of making fast money. After creating a website, taking care of it, and making it grow, it is expected that website owners somehow become attached to the site. However, if the website is doing really well, the prospect of selling it becomes even brighter. You may want to keep your site, but consider the perks of selling as well. Remember that the better your site is doing, the greater its value. You can earn a lot from selling your site, and it is also guaranteed to be fast money. Besides, selling gives you a chance to start a new project. So if you think selling your website is an option for you, here’s how to go about it. First, you have to determine how much money you are making with your site. Even if the customer will be the one who will ultimately decide how much the site is worth to him, having a ballpark figure to work with will make sure you get your site’s worth. Once you have an estimated price, compile information about your site to pass on to the buyer. This should include traffic statistics, revenues generated by the site, the site’s history, the reason why you’re selling it, and the benefits the site has given you as its owner that you are now passing on to the buyer. Those are the things that count, so make sure that you should check your site’s performance first before selling. See if you can still improve it before you sell so you can increase the amount you get from it. After all, you’re not just looking for fast money; the amount also matters, of course.

Now, let’s look at the other side of the picture. If you can sell your site, you can also buy sites. In buying sites, you have two options. You can buy a website with the sole intention of selling it at a higher value, and you can also buy a website to improve and keep it. With the former, there is no need to begin from scratch. You only need to improve the website a bit and try to increase its value so you can sell it as a much higher price than when you bought it. The trick is to look for sites that show some potential but is not maintained well. The owners of these sites are most likely to sell, and you will also get a small price for it. On the contrary, if you choose to buy a site and intend to keep it, you need to look for a site that’s performing fairly. Also, it has to complement any existing site or online business you may have. People buy sites and keep them for many reasons, one of which is for the purpose of advertising and widening their reach for an already existing business.

There may be plenty of ways to make money online, but there are only a select few that can make you some fast money. If you are a website owner, keep in mind that selling your site is always an option.

There are tons of way to make extra cash the fast way. Click on Fast Money now to learn more!!!

Domains - Investments That Reap Benefits (Part 2)

Domains - Investments That Reap Benefits (Part 2)

I absolutely love domaining, and do it with love and passion for 10-12 hours a day. Every week, I review and search through tens of thousands of generic keyword domain names from expired lists, drop services, auctions, and forums, and register hundreds. Quite often, I end up with great lists of names I simply can’t use.

Obviously, you know what they are looking for based on the keyword they are typing: Cell Phones and cell phone information. And listen up bucko, those visitors will type in CellPhones.com day in and day out, whether you advertise the site or not, just so long as you pay the $10/year registration fee.

- If you have a crappy page, they still come.

- If you insult them with pop-ups and banners, they still come.

- If you have poor navigation, they still come.

- If your prices are sky-high, they still come.

- If your selection is limited, they still come. … all because of your domain! I’m not suggesting you do any of those things, I’m just sayin’)

I know it sounds amazing people would type in a keyword string and add a dot com, but they do. In fact, it’s estimated that 50% of all Internet traffic is type-in, also known as direct navigation. And when you take out the obvious destinations people type-in like Yahoo, Google, and MSN, the number is still almost 20%. I didn’t believe it myself, but worked with a search engine client a few years back and discovered two very interesting facts about online users that if you understand, will make you money:

1) 31% of all searches are done in the address bar. 2) 28% of all address lookups are done in the search bar. The fact is, we domainers make our bread and butter because nobody ever really learned how to use the Internet, it’s all been through trial and error. That probably explained why “yahoo.com” was our number one searched term;)

So what’s CellPhones.com worth anyway? About 125,000 hot responsive visitors a month! And what are they worth, pray tell? Well, if you park the page and get paid on click revenue, it might be worth $15,000 - $30,000 a month… just based on type-in traffic. If you were offsetting the cost of advertising for an affiliate promotion, a click for a term like “cell phones” might go for buck or so, so you’d come out ahead by over six figures per month.

And if you own a store that actually sells cell phones? Well lordy lord, you just hit the holy grail because CellPhones.com may be able to generate $2 - $3 million dollars per year in increased sales, especially because of the massive credibility the domain gives you. All of which make CellPhones.com a seven figure domain. The bottom line is that domains are more than simply a place to stick your site or a name you can resell for a profit. Investment-grade keyword domains are the very basis for an e commerce powerhouse that can pay you dividends and provide income until you sell the site.

Domains - Investments With High Benefits (Part 2)

Domains - Investments With High Benefits (Part 2)

I absolutely love domains, and do it with love and passion for 10 - 12 hours a day. Every week, I review and search through tens of thousands of generic keyword domain names from expired lists, drop services, auctions, and forums, and register hundreds. Quite often, I end up with great lists of names I simply can’t use.

It is pretty plain to see exactly what somebody wants by want they have typed out on the keyboard: There are so many people that search for cell phones who will actually type in cellphones.com time after time so these guys can save loads in advertising costs.

It’s amazing that even with a shite page, you get traffic. If you blast them with banners and pop ups, you still get traffic. If your navigation is poor, well they just keep on coming. If you market a high price bracket product, nothings stopping them. It doesn’t matter even if your site selection is not high quality they will keep on coming because of the power of your domain name. It goes without saying that I under no circumstances recommend this style of site content.

Type-in traffic which is when people type the URL into the search box is actually responsible for about half of internet traffic and is commonly known as direct navigation. If we just expand this a little bit though to see real results, about 30% of the total are just for Yahoo, MSN and Google. It really is incredible and I found out about all of these facts and other online user habits in a seminar last month and these user tips really will help you make lots of money.

More facts - 1) Address bar searches account for 31% of total searches. 2) The search bar accounts for 28% of the total of address lookups. Domainers actually earn quite a lot of their income due to the alarming fact that most people just don’t know how to use the internet. So I suppose this would be why “yahoo.com” topped the list of searched terms.

So let’s have a look at just how much cellphones.com is really worth in visitors. It’s a lot and at 125,000 visitors a month they would need stringing up if they were unable to capitalize on their domain name power. Just on click revenues It could be making about $25.000 a month through type-in traffic only. If you put into place a proper affiliate program which will involve advertising costs and you paid a dollar for a keyword like “cell phones”, you could still expect a six figure profit margin every month.

Imagine that you also owned cell phone store. You would probably hit the jackpot as a name like cellphones.com could probably increase sales by 2 or 3 million dollars every month and it’s all down to domain credibility, so a domain like cellphones.com would probably reach a seven figure number. The underlying fact is that domain names should always be part of a very well structured business plan. Investment-grade keyword domains are the actual basis for this e-commerce powerhouse which pays dividends and gives income up until you make the decision to sell your site.

Revenue Sharing Sites - How to Make Money Every Day

Revenue Sharing Sites - How to Make Money Every Day

Submit your articles and make money every day with Revenue sharing sites. Check out of comprehensive list of Revenue sharing sites!

Many people want to make millions on the Internet. Although it is possible, most people make much, much less. However, there are millions of people who have much more realistic goals. They just want to make a little extra spending money each month. If that’s what you would like to do, you have come to the right place.

If you can write a 250 to 500-word article, you can make money every day, like I do. Using this technique, I make between $20 and $50 each month. I’ll admit, you won’t get rich using this method, but the extra money each and every month is very nice. I do this by submitting short 250 t0 500 word articles to a number of revenue sharing sites.

A revenue sharing site is similar to a traditional article directory site with one major difference. Traditional article directories post advertisements along with the articles that people submit. Every time a visitor clicks on one of those ads, the site makes money. Revenue sharing sites also post ads along with the articles that people submit, but they share the income that they make from their advertising.

If you are going to submit articles anyway, why not submit to sites that are willing to give you some of the money that they earn. I submit articles to both traditional directories and revenue sharing directories. You can submit the same article to many different directories.

The way to maximize the amount of money that you make with revenue sharing sites is to submit articles frequently. The more articles you have on a revenue sharing site, the more money you will make. I try to submit at least one article every day. I have over 60 articles on each of the revenue sharing sites and, as I said, I make at least $20 a month. As far as I know, there is no limit on the maximum number of articles you can submit. So, if you’ve written 20 articles in the past month, why not upload them to a few revenue sharing sites and start making some money.

The only requirement to use the revenue sharing sites is that you need to have an account set up with Adsense. If you register with one of the revenue sharing sites and do not have an Adsense account, most of them have a link that allows you to register for Adsense.

Make Some Quick Cash: Blog Flipping - free article courtesy of …

Make Some Quick Cash: Blog Flipping
 by: Dan Marques

7eb

b6f

Over the past few months, I have become a ‘blog flipper’. The concept is simple; you start a blog, gain some traffic and revenue, and then sell it for a profit. I have done this a handful of times and earned anywhere from $200-$1,000 each time. Once you get beyond a few thousand dollars, the number of interested buyers decreases dramatically. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Start a blog

You need to start a blog that is something you know something about, that enough people are interested in, and that will earn at least some decent advertising revenue. In terms of writing content find similar blogs and see what they write about. You can link back to their posts and add your own comments. You can also use articles from free article websites. Use search engines (like Technorati) to find similar blogs and read them regularly.

Step 2: Get Traffic

The best way to gain organic traffic is through commenting on other blogs/forums as well as submitting your site to blog directories. You can also facilitate search engine traffic by submitting your site to the major search engines (Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Technorati) and by using ping services.

Step 3: Earn Revenue

The easiest way to instantly earn revenue from your blog is through advertising. Your three best bets are: Yahoo! Publisher Network, Google Adwords, and Chitika. You will need to play around with color, targeting, and location to find out what works best for your blog.

Step 4: Flip it!

List your site for sale on forums dedicated to web developers. The best one to sell a small website (under $5,000) is Sitepoint Forums. It costs $10 to list a site for sale but it is worth it. Before you list your site look at a handful of previous sales to get an idea for the proper format. The more you disclose from the beginning the better. Have links to screenshots for traffic and revenue (be sure to blur out CTR, Impressions, CPC), be sure to make clear the bid price, bid increment, buy it now (BIN) price, ending date, and acceptable payment method(s).

How To Make Money Flipping Websites

How To Make Money Flipping Websites

Flipping websites is a fantastic way to earn money online. One of the best things about it is that you can get started absolutely free and therefore any money that you make will be profit. You can flip websites one of two ways. First, you can create your own websites. This simply involves you writing articles, using a free template, purchasing a domain name, monetizing the site and then selling it at one of the major Internet marketing forums. You can also a purchase a website from Ebay, have someone create it for you or buy one from an Internet marketing forum and then turn around and sell it to someone else.

When you want to flip a website, you will need to purchase a good, relevant domain name, find a template and monetize the site. These are the three main requirements. The domain name that you choose is important. Make sure that it is relevant to your website topic. If you can, use a relevant keyword that receives traffic. The search engines tend to rank these types of domain names and websites higher because they assume that they are relevant. If you can not find a keyword rich domain, this is fine, just make sure that the domain name is relevant to your niche.

You will then need to find a template. If you’re going to do it yourself, this will require that you have some basic HTML skills because you will need to add your copy to the website. You will also need to be able to link all of the internal pages to and from your home page. This will require some basic HTML skills as well. If you really want to increase the value of your website, use Photoshop. There are some excellent free Photoshop templates that you use. You can command a higher rate because these tend to look more professional. If you can, find some images to add to your site. This always improves the look and quality.

You will also need to monetize your website. This is very important. Individuals are willing to purchase these types of websites because they are ready to go and all they need to do it simply add their affiliate links and begin promoting the site. This saves them a lot of time because they don’t have to research the niche, come up with all of the content, create the site and monetize it.

You want to make sure that the website you are trying to sale allows the buyer to be up and running as soon as possible. When monetizing it, consider using products from the Clickbank, Commission Junction, Linkshare, eBay and Amazon. However, to simplify things you may want to begin only using Clickbank and Adsense. These are good choices because these are both very easy to join. Commission Junction and Link Share often require approval from the product vendor. If the individual who purchases your website isn’t approved by the vendor, they won’t be able to make money from your website. Therefore, stick with Clickbank and Adsense because almost everyone gets approved for these.

Next, you simply need to sell your website. You can sell it at Internet marketing forums like the Warrior Forum, Digital Point or Sitepoint. You can even use Ebay. To increase the value of your website, drive traffic to your site, make some sales or get high search engine rankings. These types of sites will sell for a lot more money.

Flipping Websites For Profit Using Turnkey Websites

Flipping Websites For Profit Using Turnkey Websites

Flipping websites can be hugely profitable, provided you know what you are doing. Contrary to popular belief, flipping websites is a simple business model that anyone can adopt, as you shall soon see. But first of all, here’s a quick and brief primer on flipping websites.

Flipping websites is a business model that many Internet marketers have adopted. Marketers who are looking to profit from this business model will be looking to start websites, and then quickly sell them off for a quick profit. Success Internet business owners who flip websites for a living boast of monthly five figure earnings. Many people are surprise when they hear such huge figures because most websites are sold for less than a hundred dollars. So if websites are sold so cheaply, how is it possible that they earn such dramatic earnings?

Well, for starters, professional Internet marketers know how to sell websites at a much higher price than most people. In addition, they know how to build and sell websites very quickly. The math is simple. The faster they build and sell, the more they earn.

Let’s say you start by selling just one website a week. A domain name costs probably 10 bucks. You already have a reseller hosting account, so add another 5 bucks to the total cost. Then using some free scripts and content easily available on the Internet, you then setup a website in less than an hour. Now think about this.

Your website costs you 15 dollars. And you just invested one hour of your time. Now all you have to do is to sell the site at anything above 15 dollars, and you make a tidy profit. Let’s say you manage to sell your sites for 50 dollars. That equates to 35 dollars profit per week. So what do you do if you want to increase your income? That’s right, you build more sites and sell more sites.

As you progress, you notice that some sites will sell for more, others will sell for less. This depends on many factors, and with experience, you learn what type of sites sell for higher prices. To increase your income, simply make more of those sites and sell them off.

Another quick way to increase your income is to learn how to create high demand sites faster. In our example, you invested one hour to create one website. Now what will happen if you can create websites in a matter of minutes. This is possible with turnkey websites.

Turnkey websites are ready made websites that come with everything you need to setup a website. Usually, they come complete with a content management system and some content. Even if you don’t sell off the site immediately, a turnkey website can give you the perfect head start that you need for your online business. You can choose to add unique content, give it a unique design, promote them a little, and then sell it off at a much higher price.

Remember, in the business of website flipping, every website you create is a potential gold mine. The faster you create these sites, the more money you stand to make.

5 Ways To Fail At Creating And Flipping Websites

5 Ways To Fail At Creating And Flipping Websites

Flipping websites can be a very lucrative and simple way to make money online. However, just like anything else, you have to know what you’re doing in order to be successful. You will need to figure out what works and what does not. You will also need to be aware of what things will ensure that you fail miserably. In this article, we are going to discuss five ways to practically guarantee failure at flipping websites. They include, not doing your research, failing to pick a niche that can be monetized, having poorly written content, pricing your websites too high and shoddy presentation.

1. Not Doing You Research: It is very important that before you pick a topic you take some time and learn more about it. You will want to make sure that people are actually looking to get more information about the niche you are considering. If no one is looking for it, then it is going to be very hard to sell a website written about that topic. People typically want to purchase websites in order to make money. If no one is interested in your topic no one is going to buy it.

2. Failing to Pick a Niche That Can Be Monetized: Even if you find a niche that lots of people are interested in, if there is no way to effectively monetize it, then you won’t be able to flip it. Topics that are difficult to monetize may include those that people can get information about for free or when there simply is nothing to sale.

For example, you would not necessarily want to create a site about a specific person such as Hillary Clinton unless there was some way to make money. Now you can always try to make money from Adsense ads, but you probably wont get a lot of money and there is no downloadable product that you can sell about Hillary Clinton. Therefore, this would not necessarily be a good niche, unless it is during a political campaign. During these times you may be able to make a lot of money from Adsense due to political advertisements. However, unless there is a special situation such as an election, certain individuals and topics you will want to steer clear of because you can not really monetize them.

3. Having Poorly Written Content: People will not want to purchase your website if the content is subpar. If the grammar is bad or if there are a lot of spelling mistakes, it will be very difficult for people to make money from your website. Individuals typically don’t want to purchase from websites they deem unprofessional. Having poorly written content screams of unprofessionalism and will make it hard to flip your website.

4. Pricing Your Website Too High: Not too long ago you could get away with selling a ten-page website for a couple hundred dollars. The market has since become saturated. It is very difficult to get this amount of money for a website today unless it has high search engine rankings, it is making money or you sell it to people that have no idea of what a website should cost.

5. Shoddy presentation: With all of the free templates available there really is no excuse to have a shoddy looking website. There are many attractive and professional looking templates that you simply need to add your content to, monetize and then sell them. You dont have to build one from scratch unless you have great programming skills. Really, most of the work is done for you. You will need add your content, create links for all the pages, perhaps add a tagline, some pictures and graphics and then you are ready to go.
