how to make money by flipping websites

f you're looking for a way to make money, maybe you should consider flipping websites. Don't know what flipping websites is? It's simple. . . Flipping websites means building or buying a website and turning around and selling it for a profit. Home buyers do it all the time and there's big money to be made.



To begin with you'll need to find a website. Maybe you've got a few domain names laying around that you're not using. These are great candidates for website flipping. Even if you don't, obtaining a domain name or website is easy to do. Once you've got your domain name you can build a website, make it look nice, add some valuable content and then flip it.

Everybody has heard the old expression, buy low and sell high. This is true when it comes to flipping websites. One of the best ways of doing this is to visit the forums at a website called Digital Point (http://forums.digitalpoint.com). In the forums you'll find lots of websites and domain names for sale. Best of all, they're usually value priced. You can often pick up a great aged domain or impressive looking website for pennies on the dollar.

After you've acquired your bargain website you may want to spruce it up a bit. Just like someone who is selling a car will wash and wax it before putting it on the market, you can do the same with your website. Change the layout, spruce up the graphics or add some valuable content. Whatever you think the site needs to get the attention of the buyer. It's cheap to do and will help you sell the site.

If you've got the time, one of the best things to do is to build up the traffic to the site and have the site generate some income. This is important to the buyers. Sites that generate even a small amount of income will sell for much more than a site that doesn't. Add some AdSense ads or a C.P.A. offer to get the income rolling in. Perhaps a opt-in box with a valuable free report will get some traffic heading your way. Whatever you choose to offer, if you want to get top dollar for your site then don't skip this step.

Next it's time to sell. One of the most popular sites is Flippa (http://flippa.com). Here you'll be able to list your website in an auction format and have it seen by thousands of potential buyers. It's important to choose the right price and options. Price it too high and nobody will bid. Price it too low and you'll leave money on the table. Also, don't forget to choose some options. They don't cost too much and can make a big difference in your final price.

Flipping websites is a great way to make some extra money or even a full time living. Give it a try and see if this fun and exciting business is right for you.
