Do you think you need traffic to make money? WRONG!

Patrick Pallesen · 07-18-2009, 02:44 PM

You have heard it time and time again the lifeblood of your business is traffic.

Yeah traffic is what we all could need more of, but traffic isn't that easy to get and you will find yourself working hard to start seeing any real traffic because everybody told you that's the only way to make money online.

While that isn't a lie you can also start a business without traffic.

How you ask?

Site Flipping!

That's right with siteflipping you don't have to drive traffic to the sites you will flip even without traffic you can get a nice chunk of money from it without it.

So next time you hear a guru say you can't start a business without traffic you'll know better.

While I say you can start a business without the need for traffic I would recommend you to try and do that to possibly to other sites than the ones you intend to flip.

Well I just thought I would give a little input

Would you say site flipping is more lucrative than having a site to promote/sell something?

No I wouldn't say that unless you drive traffic to it then maybe.

I just posted this to tell people that have a hard time generating traffic to their businesses and is buying every traffic course under the sun. That they can actually start a business without the need for traffic.

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for this great insight. I am just starting to look into this method as a viable source of income. Of course, I would add it to my current mix.

Are there any programs out there you have reviewed that you feel would benefit someone just starting out in this area?

I appreciate your thoughts and insights.

You still need traffic. An ad to sell your domain or site won't bring in even a penny if there aren't any eyeballs on that ad.

goody32 · 07-18-2009, 02:59 PM

Sounds very interesting. I would certainly like to know how that works. Trying to get more traffic has been challenging.

Haha your'e teasing me

.

When you flip websites you don't need to get visitors who will read something on your site. You only need people to buy your site, but I wouldn't call that traffic generation.

And in my opion it is better to sell a site or blog with at least some traffic.
It's not just get a domain build a blog or site and flip it

And I like getting traffic to my paypal account

Well I would say most programs has something for newbies it depends on what your budget is and if you have any skills then you can try to build a site based on these facts.

So, people will pay me a fortune for a site with no traffic?

Cool.

Maybe I could upsell them with my timeshare condos on Mars.

Absolutely. Especially if you create a WP blog with the Revolution theme.

ETA: I agree with Richard's comment. While you can flip a no-traffic domain or site, you'll make more money if you take the time to get traffic. And if you're looking to build a business flipping sites, then it's a good idea to learn how to drive targeted buyers to your ads and auctions, build a list of buyers, etc.

Ofcourse it's a good idea, but if people have a hard time doing it they can flip some sites and then when they have some extra money they can begin trying driving traffic to their sites

Patrick,

I'm sorry.

I should have been more direct and said that your thread was not very helpful. Do you really want a load of inexperienced people going on a wild goose chase? If you had added a step by step account of how to site flip profitably I would not have commented.

All you did in response to a question about how to do it was to say

Hardly inspiring.

Some people do make good money from site flipping, but as Becky and Richard said, traffic has to come into the equation somewhere.

KJ,

It has canal frontage but the gondolas kick up a lot of dust.
