What is Your Opinions On Site Flipping?

19 replies
Hi Warriors,

I have been flipping sites for some time now and I am making a very satisfying income from site flipping. However, I have heard some people saying that site flipping is not cool or unreliable.

What do you think?

    To be honest, Desmond, my opinion is that you're asking for our opinion on site flipping, while at the same time stating that you make "a very satisfying income from site flipping," just to promote the blog flipping link in your signature file.

    Hey Mike, I don't think it is right to jump into conclusion like that. Desmond like me is not an English speaking person. I have visited his site and I don't think he will go to that extent to promote it as he is not even selling anything at the blog.

    Just my $0.02

      There is an order button right at the bottom of the page. I agree with Mike.

    Hi guys,

    Opps.. never realized that I was actually "promoting" something.

    I am just here to ask what everyone thinks about site flipping. I know some people think of it as inconsistent and everything -- and as large portion of my income is from site flipping, it would be wise to follow the flock if you get what i mean.

    You answered your own concerns in your post.

    If it's working and profitable for you, why would it matter if it's not working for someone else?

      Well, sometimes I guess it's wise to know how other people are doing and how other people see us in another point of view.

      Maybe I was wrong, maybe I was right.

    Yommys01,

    He asked for an opinion, so I gave it. My opinion would be the same if he was a native English speaker or a long-time Warrior member.

    What difference does it make whether we think site flipping is "cool?" Asking whether we think it's reliable seems moot, as he says he's making a very satisfying income from it.

    So I stand by my original response.

      hey Mike,

      Now that I rethink over at your point of view, yeah I made a mistake. After all, this topic is too general. You were right.

      After rereading my post, I felt like i was promoting myself -- even though I don't intend to! Sorry for all the troubles

    Desmond,

    I have to say I came to pretty much the same conclussion as Mike. Why do you care whether it's cool or even more importantly whether anyone else on here thinks it's cool? If you're making "a very satisfying income" is it important to you what other's think?

    And as for being reliable you claim on your site "Most of my students are easily generating a few thousands a month". You're claiming that your students are easily making money and that would suggest that it's reliable.

    Yommys01,

    You might want to recheck as Desmond is selling a $17.95 ebook from the blog in his signature file.

    Just my 2p's worth.

    Nigel

    EDIT: I was typing this while Desmond was posting his post above mine. Credit to you Desmond for putting your hand up to a mistake. There are plenty of people a lot older than you would not have the guts to do so - well done!

      Yes, I can say that this method of monetizing is reliable. The only problem is that I have a hard time replying emails to people who are asking me about site flipping.

      Sometimes it's good to know what people who have already heard of site flipping (which is all of you Warriors) thinks about site flipping.

      I personally believe that this is a good way for me to know what I am doing and what i am standing on in this business.

      Sorry if I sound a little self promoting.

    Desmond,

    Here's how you play nice in a forum with a lot of smart and not easily fooled IM'ers:
    1) Post a thread about how you flip sites. Give examples and let people see how you did it.
    2) Give value to the forum and don't try to sneak peeks at your sig. line with thinly veiled sales attempts like this one.
    3) Realize that there are many people who flip sites and sell ebooks on the subject. Look over at the wso forum.
    Hope this helps you out.

      Thanks Tom. I wanted to do a thread here but my Q&A thread was closed earlier and I was sharing tons of tips. LOL.

      So I gotta be more careful it seems.
