Long-Term Flips VS Short-Term Flips

2 replies
Hello warriors,

This is an informative thread for those who just jumped into the site flipping. I know some of you are already flipping sites already and some of you might already make some hefty amount of money.

Today I am going to tell you the two major types of flips; the long term flips and the short term flips.

Long-term flips
Blogs, sites that you keep longer than 30 days in attempt to monetize it, use its potential to its fullest and cash in big money.

Short-term flips
Blogs or sites that you created or bought and attempt to flip it within the same week the site was created or bought.

(Pretty much something like that. )

Some of you might be wondering which types of flips are better. Of course, long term flips bring you more money and short term flips bring you less -- but long term flips bear tons of risks while short-term flips are vice versa.

I personally flip tons of short-term flips for quick money (especially when I need money to pay for college).

One common misconception is that many site flippers actually used blogs as their short-term flips. Of course, blogs are the easiest form of short-term flips -- but like me, I hired some pretty trusty (and cheap) coders to help me design a script and sell it later for some hefty profit.

Some of the scripts that I have created and resold with rights are like the inverting text script, countdown script and tons more. Although they sounded simple, but every single time I sold those scripts and its rights to my sites buyers, i made around $300 each flip.

Hope this thread will help.

    I, personally, like to keep a webste for 3 months so that when page rank is updated, I can post the PR in the sales letter of the website. I know PR doesn't translate into sales but buyers like websites that do have some sort of page rank. Sites like this can go for several hundred dollars version one week flips which range from $50 to $500 depending on what is supplied in the flip.

      Very nice info there.

      Honestly, PR is one of the factors why I keep some blogs for around 5 months. I have no problem gaining PR or maintaining the incoming revenue -- but managing the site is a headache.

      Most of my long term blogs are outsourced or JV with someone else, including the contents...so when they stop or "feel lazy" to update my blogs -- lots of things screw up.

      Some say the solution to this is autoblog, but i seriously don't find autoblog to suit my taste although I have flipped a few in the past.
