This post goes with my last post of website flipping, and ties together how I am entering website flipping and other things related. In the last post I apologize for the lack of information, maybe that is why it got no comments yet. I described how website flipping can be a benefit to you, what it is and here I am telling how to use it and how I use it. As said before, website flipping is done to create a fairly easy source of income, that is if you are good at raising websites. What will happen is you build a website and then sell it, and the process repeats itself on and on. Here are some tips to help you with website flipping, or really, raising a website.
Raising traffic
Raising traffic is very important for all the aspects of a website. Comments, ranks, revenue, RSS subscribers all depend on the traffic. If there is no traffic to your site, it is dead.
- Read and comment on other blogger’s sites
- advertise
- forum post
- create email lists (you have to know what to do with them though)
- offline promotion
- social sites
Raising Subscribers
Raising subscribers is also very important for raising a successful blog and selling it. Many sites are judged by the amount of subscribers attained.
- Incentives to subscribe, such as free treats for subscribing (is there anyone I know who doesn’t do this?)
- Big RSS button and email form
- RSS and email option at the end of a post
Raising Revenue
What is gained off a blog is also very important, especially in buying and selling.
- Join affiliate programs
- Run private ad sales
- sell products and services
These are the tips to help you be successful in website flipping, buying and selling. Happy blogging!
As I said I would also tell how I use and will use website flipping. I am planning to start one more “temporarily permanent” site, and then I will start flipping websites, one of the first ones to be a cooking one followed by an MMO or another blogging tips website. What I am worried about is trying to run 4 websites at a time, Green Flamingo, Green Flamingo Designs, my mystery website(I know what it will be), and the one to be flipped or sold. I will have to get used to managing all those, and I know I will call upon help. Once I get a “blog” page for my blog posts on Green Flamingo Designs, I will begin hiring writers at a low cost so I am not so caught up in fishing for content. For the new site I will have a little help with as well, from a friend of mine who is thought to be dead by most. That friend will be an admin too, and will have a few stories for you when I am not around.
Those are my plans for website flipping and updates, soon I will reveal the mystery website and behind the scenes peeks at it! I want it to be a hit in one week, which is why I have to start up some content and plans before I lauch it, I don’t know how people get settled with all their pages and what not in a day. If everyone tells me they would like to hear about this mystery site, I wil reveal it sooner with further looks, maybe even tomorrow. I do not want to bore people, but it they want to hear about it I will be more than happy to share!


nice post. thanks for sharing. i have been doing this for sometime now primarily from buying other people’s websites, fixing them up, and then reselling those.
Salwas last blog post..First WordPress Free Premium theme released!
@ Salwa - buying, fixing up and reselling is good too. Just like with houses.
I agree with a lot of these points; I understand my own blog is suffering at the moment because I haven’t had the time and dedication to visit and return a lot of the kindness as well as comments given to me lately–but I am working on that!
The hardest thing is knowing that I don’t actually have any freebies to offer for people who subscribe, nor the resources to throw a contest. That takes money, or talent :p I am short both, but the former more than the latter!
@ Melissa - I also have that problem of having no freebies to offer, I am coming out with an ebook which might work, and I have offered some free advertising on this PR3 site. I am with you on the contest, I guess I could ask for sponsors, and I could sponsor a few things myself. I am going to run/help with another contest soon, and I will see how that goes and maybe I will be able to run one here.
