Can you please share your insight and preferences on the best places / sites to buy turnkey websites? Being a newbie, I'm completely green in the internet marketing industry and I think that purchasing one of these turnkey website would be a good way to learn. Any suggestions on places to buy good websites would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you're going to buy a turnkey site that's making money, you're going to pay a multiple of profits so you need some money. But the real issue is, even if you manage to buy the site, keep it making money, and get back your investment, what are you going to do if it stops producing?

Answer: You need to aquire the skills to build them from the ground up. It's ok to buy an established site to cut off some of the development time, but you have to know what to look for and how you're going to execute the plan. If you don't, you'll get taken.

You don't really need to buy a turnkey website to figure out how things work. You should be able to sort it out yourself.

For example use HTTrack to pull down website code from websites you like. This way you can start learning how to incorporate the things you like on one site into your own sites.

If you're looking for successful websites, many of them to be found around the web, and you don't actually have to buy them to figure them out. Take a look at sites for sale on SitePoint and other places, and try to figure out what makes them successful and why they are able to get customers to actually buy.

I agree, i dont think you need a turnkey website, theres a whole pile of information you need to learn to get traffic to the website, optermisation of your turnkey website is far more complicated than building a site.

You should think about joining warrior groups you can learn alot " The Absolute Newbie Success Blueprint " is a good group to start with its got a link to a really good free ebook, plus this forum is probobly one of the best libraries of marketing information.

All good advice, but if you insist on finding turnkey websites for sale, you can check Sitepoint's Startup Website's For Sale Section.

You can find some really good deals on Ebay. I end up buying sites that I can use myself, like free image hosting sites (e.g. hotshotsite.com, feel free to use). I also find sites that I can use to "park" domains at, until I build something else on them. A lot of the sites on Ebay are crap, but you can find some pretty decent ones for less than $50.

Thanks to all for the info. I thought buying a turnkey would be a good way to shorten my learning curve since I'm a new to all of this plus I have sufficient capital to do so. Now after reading the comments, I'm wondering If any of you know someone who needs to raise money for other internet ventures and may want to sell their website and or a portion of one. Let me know. Thanks.

I would look on Ebay first.

First, I would do a search on Completed listings that sold for $100 - $200 in the Business & Industrial category. Once I got back some results I would then narrow this down to only websites.

Then I would sort the list by price and look at the sites that sold, making sure to note who the sellers were.

Most of the auctions will have a link to the site being sold. Visit those sites and do a view source to see the source code.

Some of the sites will be in HTML. Some will be in Wordpress or Joomla.

The question you need to ask yourself is, can you build those sites yourself, or do you need to outsource it?

Hope that helps.

So assuming I can't build those sites myself, what would be my next step? Thanks.

I'm a newbie at internet marketing and I will probably take forever to learn programming. I know a very successful person in malaysia who started an internet marketing company with no IT background whatsoever. However, they understood how the SEO works and armed with a clad-iron marketing plan. I regret having spent so much time figuring out on how to build a website, and burnt myself out.

If you are looking for genuine profit making websites for sale, you might want to check out this course on "How to Buy an Online Business at a Great Price"/ by Richard Parker. It is the most complete course on how to buy a business online and offline including where to look for genuine online businesses for sale and questions to ask sellers which has really helped me seperate the good from the bad. The REAL deal comes when I get on-going consultation throughout the buying process by Parker and his team.

I think a turnkey site is a great idea for a newbie, IF the turnkey price is a good one. There will always be work involved in maintaining and promoting a website, unless you purchase one that has significant traffic and already has long standing income, etc.
if you can get a good price on a site, there is no reason you can't use it to learn from. Find one that interests you and it never hurts to contact the owner and ask if they would like to sell.
have a budget, KEEP that budget and wait. If you have the funds and a specific niche in mind, it may be worth developing your own product/ebook and site design from the bottom up.
There are also loads of Private Label ebooks you can brand as your own, again some software is often needed for this.
One I have set up as a move in ready site is Video Blogging Guide, vLog Guide. I bought a PLR ebook, branded it as my own, redid the entire design and there it is. I have no plans to do anything with it other than sell it when I have time.
There are a lot of good offers here on warrior forum for design and writing, if you are'nt in a rush, wait and save for your own product, ultimately I think it is the best way to go for anyone.
Hope all my babbling helped!
