Hi friends, it’s been long time this blog is not updated. Today I will discussed about website flipping i.e., selling website or blog for profit. For your information, website flipping is a business of selling website for profit. This website can be created from scratch or bought from other and sell them for profit. Implementing website flipping method, I managed to sell one of my blog at $100. I bought this blog from DP forum at $20. The blog was 10 months old and about traffic niche plus it has a page rank 1. I first thought to manage the blog like add some quality content and promote it because the domain name was too good, the blog was matured with some good content but later I thought why not try to sell it out for profit.
DP forum has been famous because of the cheap deals that go around. If I tried to sell there it might be hard for me to sell at good price plus I bought the blog from DP forum itself. Many people have known that and selling it at higher price might not be easy. So the best thing is to buy blog from one place and sell it at other place. This way buyer won’t know at what price the seller bought the blog or website. The same thing I did. I bought the blog from DP forum and sold it in the flippa.com. Flippa.com is the newer version especially made for buying and selling website; earlier the deal goes at sitepoint marketplace. Flippa.com is a very popular site among buyers and sellers. This is the market place where people are willing to pay a lot of money. So you can profit a lot if you play smartly.
Selling blog in flippa.com is not free. There are many fees for almost all the features. For listing of blog for sale, they charge $19. So I spent $19 for listing my blog for sale. You can list the blog for 30 days duration. After listing, I started tracking if there was any bid but I didn’t have any at first. When the ending day of blog sale approach, many people started bidding, you can see the listing of blog for auction here.
So how I made money through this website flipping? Well, I bought the website at $20 and spent $19 for listing in flippa.com; I also paid flippa.com another $2 for successful auction. So I spent total $41 and sold the blog for $100 i.e., I made $59 profit but wait there was a deduction of $4.20 as PayPal fees transaction. So I can say that the net profit I made was $54.80, not bad huh…considering I didn’t put much work in this. I just bought the blog, changed the name server of domain pointing to my web hosting, and installed new wordpress and imported the content. Later I listed the blog as an auction in flippa.com. That’s it.
This was my first approach in the website flipping business and I got the success too. I am considering doing this website flipping business again. So are you too into website flipping? What’s your experience? Share with us.
