Hey guys, can flipping sites be profitable? I understand that the sky is the limit with ANYTHING when it comes to the internet, but how come you dont keep a site thats making 500 dollars a month compared cashing out for 3k? What is the logic behind flipping as a business?

    For me, personally, I have a short attention span. I love building sites, but get VERY bored with keeping them going. So, I'll build them then flip them. Keeps me occupied. LOL

    Some sell because they have too many sites, some rely on a few producing sites for their income and sell off the rest, some just may need the money quickly. There're tons of reasons that people sell, rather than keep, the "big" earners.

    Its just a particular business model. There are guys out there creating 3-4 sites a week. Of course I don't know how much SEO they do. But a lot of them keep the sites for a while and then flip the lesser performing one and keep the good ones.

    If the site is not really important to you and if you don't have a long plan, sell it.. A site earning $500 a month is too cheap for $3,000

    Site Flipping can be split under 2 broader categories: Selling established sites and selling start-ups.

    Startup sites are sold for less price and it largely depends upon the amount of work involved in its creation. Or if you're going to use some unique, viral ideas, a startup can also be sold for $XX,XXX.

    Established sites are most of the times sold at 10x revenue. If the site has a long history of consistent revenues and completely on auto-pilot, I have even seen those sites being sold for 20x revenue! Yes, I still remember a site making 4000 USD/mo sold for 80,000 USD.

    Luck also plays a part imo..
