Good Site Flipping Course to Recommend?

18 replies
Hi all, I have about 60 sites I want to sell off but have some nagging snags in my mind.

Can someone recommend a good site flipping course that will do the following:

1) show how to sell new sites
2) do not teach how to sell service-based sites. I don't want to create new sites. I just want to sell off niche sites that I already have
3) show the technical sides of flipping sites eg. how to transfer the domains and files over
4) show how to write up a successful listing eg what to include, how to word the listing
5) show what kind of stats is needed eg analytics or awstats
6) what kind of BIN bonuses will be good and how to go about getting them if I don't have already eg premium plugin, plr articles etc. If these can be had for cheap, the better it is..
7) the technical aspects of putting up the listing

I don't think I need another course that deals with keyword research and setting up of wordpress.

I hope someone can recommend a good course for me. Thanks in advance..

    I guess Lydia you have been to Flippa and learned all you can from them.

    I have purchased a few WSOs here and you are 100% correct, they want to teach you how to choose Domain Names and point the DNS servers etc etc etc when all we may want is just know how to flip a site.

    So my ditto has been added.

    I think the best way to do this is to go to the "Just sold" section and check out the sold listings.

    Pay close attention to how they write their descriptions, what type of sites they are selling, how they construct their titles etc. I noticed that if you spend some time on writing a good, detailed description, it will pay off in the end. If you are selling new sites, never set a reserve price and always include this in your title (NO RESERVE)

    I don't think you should spend money on such courses. You can learn it yourself, very quickly.

    Dave Hermansen offers tons of good free info on flipping websites on his Store Coach website. him & his brothers are about as successful of 'site flippers' as you'll find. They've built up and sold off dozens of websites.

    First, I wouldn't really buy a course about Flipping websites... If it is free, then go for it.

    If you are using Flippa, then steps 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are all related to pretty much what you need in a good listing.

    You don't really need step 2 because if the listing is great than people will buy. Of course step 3 can be found by doing a simple Google Search. But you have should know that something that may work for someone else, may not work the same for you.

    If I made any money with my sites I always make sure I state that in the Title, because this will give more people the reason check my listing out. You should also use Google Analytics when showing proof of traffic, this is much reliable than AwStats in my opinion.

    Hype up the traffic the site is getting, and sales that the site is getting. Do not lie about sells, and make sure you tell the complete truth about everything. When someone bids on your site, make sure you contact them and thank them for bidding... Remember to tell them about the "Buy It Now" bonuses that they will get if the click the "BIN" button.

    I found out the the more keywords you have in the listing the better. So I personally try and add enough keywords in my listing, so if someone does a search my listing will show.

    Hopefully someone will create a simple guide for you, and can help you. Glad to see people that want to learn.

      Massiveray, you're awesome. I just decided the other day this was going to be my business model. The link you gave is just what I need to get an idea of how I need to do it, thanks!

        Lydia and David put it very well. I too am looking for ways to sell off some websites I have (and maybe a few domains that I might set up blogs on before selling them, and I want the info on how to sell them successfully...

        I'll check out adsenseflippers.com Thanks, Massiveray.

        One problem... my hosting co has turned off my AWSTATS because I have too many domains...

        I need to weed out the ones I don't need anymore to reduce the number of domains so they'll turn it back on.

      That's a good source, but I wouldn't expect the same type of sales. They have sites making $30/month selling for 20x+ monthly profit. Mostly because of their following, but you shouldn't expect that much selling on Flippa.

        I think expecting 12-15x is pretty reasonable. If you go back and look at some of our early auctions, we started getting 15x or better before we HAD an audience...our blog/list wasn't even started until May 2011. You may get less in your first few auctions but once you prove that the sites have value and CONTINUE to have value you'll do quite well...

          I checked out Piper Anderson's flipping guide WSO that was open last year, and is closed now.... I can believe the content is worthwhile but sadly the last posting Page ends such that when I found a separate site for the same product (and at a price double the wso, but only half what I expected..) well I had to say pass. sadly, Caution is what I hear/feel!!

          Yet, For JOY: I am VERY glad to have the adsenseflippers.com website suggested, a big thank you! I will revisit them.

          .

    I bought Piper Anderson's flipping guide and really liked it. I didn't take action on it per se but that knowledge came in handy in other ways, and I think I still might try it. Very simple and to the point and cheap if I remember correctly too.

    Hi all, I'd like to thank you all for your recommendations. I know there are tons of free courses out there on flipping but I'd like to get to the meat or the good stuff so to say..

    Sorry to say but when you offer something free, you're always not offering everything you know right up front. There's always something being held back so that the readers will keep coming back for more nuggets.

    Saying that I may still take a look at the free course that Massiveray has mentioned. Thanks for the heads up.. I hope it covers what I really want to know..

    Cheers..

    Lydia, try to send a private message to Gene Pimentel and to Zach Booker, thy started before me and I think are two of the best in domains and sites flipping (anyway I have no time to help you now, I'm in the middle of a project, must finish in a few weeks). They are great guys.
    I hope it helps.

      Good to hear, Lydia! I know it's "free" but I think (hope?) that most of our content is pretty meaty and actionable. We really don't hold anything back...part of our branding/marketing strategy is free, real info...hope you find it useful!
