Try Flipping Websites
by Curtis D. Tucker
Flipping websites can be very profitable for those that are in tune with Internet real estate. Flipping domains and websites is very much like buying and selling "real" real estate. You buy or build low and sell high.
Building websites from the ground up can make you the most profit but it takes some web building knowledge and does entail man hours. Buying small websites and flipping them is much faster but less profitable.
With the popularity of Wordpress this has become much easier than in the "old" days of the Internet. A small amount of web design knowledge can be turned into a high profit business.
Why would someone buy a website from you? Because they want to invest in real estate property but they do not have the time to build sites and wait for them to rise in the search engine rankings. High traffic websites full of original content can make big bucks. A popular website that is full of advertising is a great little profit center.
The more traffic you get, the more ads are clicked on and the more products get sold. Most profit from today's websites comes from advertising and from subscriptions. If you have a large user base and email list you might have a site worth some money also.
Simple subjects can actually be the best sites to sell. I know of a simple niche website that listed nothing but names. These name lists combined with some related articles created a decent amount of traffic. With nothing other than these names and the traffic, the site sold for an amount in the five figure range.
You can build smaller, low traffic sites and flip them for a few hundred dollars here and there. Great domains can also be purchased and sold.
Another route that I will get into later is to build yourself a collection of these sites and live off of the advertising dollars. A few dozen websites making $5-$20 a day can add up. This is where you might become the buyer instead of the seller. More on that later.
Be an Internet mogul today!!
