I have been looking at a number of website that are on sale like websitebroker and etc.

I have looked at a couple of e-commerce websites. And some websites are on sale pretty high but the montly income are around 5,000-25,000 thousand a month.

If anyone has bought a website before that already has monthly income. How do you get paid if it is an ecommerce store?

    If it is an ecommerce store then be careful that the figure you are talking about does not represent the total amount of sales - that is irrelevant to you. You only want to know what the net profit is after all expenses.

    I would also be very careful and make sure you do a lot of homework and background checks before investing any decent amount of money. There have been many people who have bought websites like this only to find the earnings dropped off immediately after they purchased the site.

      I once bought a site that already made income. It has been earning me steady income ever since to be honest. It took me around 6-7 months to earn back the initial investment. I have been doing a few things for boosting income lately but as an experiment for the first three months I didn't do any work on the site. I just let it sit there. And still income came in

      But yeah be very careful. There are things that are difficult to know beforehand. Like does the current owner actually do lot of work currently to keep its ranking in google up, drive traffic, attract affiliates, have customers make repeat purchases etc. It is difficult to see through stuff like this and know for sure wether the income the site generates is dependent on very hard work or (as is always advertised) can be done on full automation

    Yes always be looking at net profit instead of revenue... and ask the owner why they are selling... If I'm making >$5,000 in passive income, I probably won't sell my golden goose
