How To Earn Money Online By Flipping Websites
Posted on January 24th, 2009 by Rishabh Sood under SEO Tricks/TipsI am sure you must have heard of terms like “Website Flipping” and “Domain Flipping”. And I’m sure that many have tried doing it, but failed to sell the website at a good price or even failed to bring traffic. The former being most common, so I’ve tried to enlist some factors here that people generally don’t give higher priority when they ought to.
I’ve come across many a webmasters, who try to flip easy-to-make i.e. the likes of turnkey sites like image-hosting, arcades, and proxy sites etc.etc. Do you really think that people would like to offer a good price for something like that? I would rather make my own site than buy that!
Place yourself in the buyer’s shoes and think about this: would you prefer to buy an image-hosting site getting about 1000 page-views just because he hot-linked some images on popular forums OR would you prefer to purchase a blog which gets good traffic and has unique designs and good posts?
In my opinion, flipping turnkeys is not the best way or you can say, most efficient way to make money online. I would suggest you create blog, post unique content and a suitable design. Try out different niches like Finance, Education, Medicine, Web mastering etc. which are the highest paying niches out there. So if you have a good design, unique and well organised posts, then it is most likely that a buyer would bid on the site.
You can also make good a profit out of WordPress Blogs, if you’ve posted unique content on it and some plug-ins installed, optimized an having a good template. Then you don’t even need a good traffic to sell it since, buyers are looking for sites having potential.
Just make sure the blog has an attractive and eye-catching theme, some unique articles (4-5), some important plug-ins like All-In-One SEO or Google sitemap, and should be user friendly. And if you fulfil the above requirements, then I assure you, the effort won’t go in vain.

I have tried it and found successful…..it just needs good marketing of your own product and thorough market knowledge…..like the latest trends and niches…….during this recent economy recession I sold lots of flipping websites on Govt Grants……and people accepted the niche well.
8-9 copyscape passed 350 words articles with simple layout…….and it helps to make me money.

I have heard about flippin blogs but always thought that to be able to sell one for a decent amount it would have to be very well established and have plenty of traffic. If you have a well established blog with plenty of traffic would you want to sell it because you would probably be earning good money off it. Is 4 t0 5 articles enough for someone to want to buy it.
