How To Make Money Flipping Websites

As many of you may know, affiliate marketing, while popular, isn't the only way to make money online.

Website flipping, the art of buying and selling websites for quick profit, is yet another way to make a lot of money in a short space of time. There are some people who rely on this solely for a living.

Though it may sound easy, it does require a bit of skill but one benefit is that you can start with minimum investment.

Below, I'm going to outline the process and show you how you could get started with this very profitable technique.

You will need:
  • Domains
  • Web Hosting with cpanel
  • Website Marketplace
  • Paypal Account
You may also need to learn a bit about the ins and outs of website flipping. Killer Flipping Secrets is a solid course done by two guys who's primary source of income is website flipping.

Get a website

There are different ways you can go about the process of making money flipping websites. For example, you may either decide that you're going to build the sites yourself from scratch or you're going to buy undervalued sites and 'fix them up' then sell them.

Whichever route you decide to go, it is important to look at your strengths and work accordingly. So if you're not good at designing and building websites then you may want to either hire out this process or buy good looking websites that are undervalued in other areas such as SEO or monetization.

Add Value

Once you've gotten a website, you'll then need to add some type of value. For instance, if a website isn't making any money, you can add value by monetizing it. You can add value to a site that is already making money by increasing its profitability.

Also look for other ways in which the website is lacking. Does the content of the site allow for you to build a subscriber list? This could mean the difference between just selling a website and selling an existing business. You can ask for more if you're selling more than just a website.

List it

The last step is to find a buyer for your website. You're ready to make the flip.

You'll need to list your website where buyers can check out your website, make a bid, pay you securely once they've won the bid and have the website transferred to them.

Marketplaces exist that take care of this process. The most prominent one is Flippa.com. All you need is an account and you can list your websites for a fee. The guys at Killer Flipping Secrets will give you some free credit towards your Flippa account so you can actually start without any initial investment.

Again, if website flipping seemed like a piece of cake when you first looked at the concept, you have to understand that its a business. And any business where the payoff is substantial involves serious work.

However, it can become very routine if you get to know exactly how each process works. A good way to do this is to get the Killer Flipping Secrets course where they show you every exact step from beginning to end. I've reviewed the course here and highly recommend it.
