Lets Flip A Site or Sites Together!

96 replies
Internet Marketing Group of Warrior Forum will be flipping a site or sites together for profits and learning experience.

Here is how it goes, members who want to join in this flip will have pay a small fee ($6) to cover all costs. We are going to flip site or sites and then share the profits.

We'll find experts among members who can do the setting up of the site(s) for free or for a special discounted fee. We'll brainstorm for ideas together and help to promote the site(s) until it's sold on eBay.

These are just the initial ideas that I have, welcome to input yours, thanks!

**Please take the Poll at the following thread so I can have an idea how many people are interested:
http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ject-poll.html

***Please join Internet Marketing Group and check there for latest update.

Thanks!


IMPORTANT!! After paying through PayPal PM me with your PayPal email address so I can send you an invite to The Flipping Project group, please remember that.

    Ok - I'll host the site and build it if you want it to be wordpress. I have a reseller account so I can set it up with a login everyone can use.

    Hi DotComBum,

    Like CashCow, I have a reseller account too. And I highly suggest you sell it on SitePoint or DigitalPoint instead of eBay. eBay never work well for me.

    Also, This is a great opportunity. If you are looking for some free coaching for the group, hit me up.

    This is a great idea, although I'd like to know where the 6 bucks will go to?
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[507001].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author cashcow
    Yeah, I agree with Desmondblog - Sitepoint is the way to go. It costs more to list but if everyone chips in than that shouldn't be a problem.

    I think the $6 could go towards domain reg, sitepoint listing and maybe buying content or blog posting services etc... Not sure what DotComBum had in mind, but I think a small fee is good as people will have in "investment" in it and therefore be more willing to participate.

      I am glad someone has volunteer to provide the web hosting, if the buyer wants to stay with the host, the web hosting provider get a new customer, that way it benefits him/her.

      As for the $6.00 I think it's a small fee that anyone can afford, the fees is to pay any cost that come up, we'll try to save as much as possible to save cost.

      Now is just the brainstorming stage, all ideas, comments and suggestions are much appreciated!

        This sounds like a great idea. I would like to join in.
        The group could also profit by documenting the whole process to create a product.
        Add in some Camtasia videos of the process and sell it as a WSO.

          I'm not really after profit, but I'd like to be a part of it.

          I can offer content, setup, help with autoresponder, whatever.

          I think we should set up a site, offer a free report, and set up an autoresponder series. If you really want to get down in the weeds, we can create a custom product.

          Can be sell outside WSO too, also can anyone do some research on whether this has been done before

    I think there are too many site flipping WSO's out there already personally.

    But if we documented it and gave that away for free, then that would be cool.

      G`day,

      I joined the group last night, I`m in ... why sell on
      Sitepoint, Ebay (ugh) or digipoint (quadruple UGH!!) :rolleyes:

      Won`t take long to remodel this

      Flip Sites Pro

      I have a Forum setup but not active, and would need
      to go and remodel it also ... I have domains I`d like to
      sell and will create WP Themes (or HTML) myself for
      them ... is anyone up to writing the content?

      Anyway, I can do WP and HTML designs, graphics (be
      better if a Photoshop user does this but aye) .. I also
      have resellers account, Support Desk on FlipSitesPro
      ... etc etc ...

      Best thing would be to see who can bring what to the
      flip-table and team ourselves into groups of say 3 to
      seven people ... communication is important, either
      Forum or Skype (both actually) would be best ... I
      won`t use any other "chat" myself.

      Thoughts ...

    I'm not sure if you've thought of this yet, but if the site is going to be monetized by any form of advertising, you know, there are scripts that will let you rotate different 'members' adsense codes, or if necessary, rotate other ads/banner codes so the income in the short term would be rotated out to the various members.

    Of course this could make tracking revenue a little sketchy for when you're ready to sell.

      Yes, I would like to be part of this group.

      Making a profit is not a big deal for me on this project, I would just like to learn the ropes, so if it helps, I'll be more than happy to put any of my profits earned towards either a group pool or buying you all a beer (don't know how I can manage that through the internet)!.

      Thanks

      Very nice Scott!

      I was just thinking about that issue!

      I am willing to participate, but if there are too many of us, then some people may just end up being silent partners...

    Sounds really interesting guys!! I'd love to join in. I'm looking to get my site YouTube Guitar Blog on the up and up and flip it. (I personally love my domain name and idea )

    If we want to run a test flip with it that could work.

    Hi,

    I have sold on SitePoint before.

    Here is a good model for a sales page:
    (Oooops, This is the correct link)

    http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auctions/40429


    I have a site I can donate but you need to
    decide if you like this kind of website:

    cool-video-games.info-world of war games

    I would like to offer the hosting, if the buyer
    wants it, at $5 a month or $45 a year
    with the first month free.

    I do not have time to list it but here
    is a product, a sales page, and
    a place to list it - complete!

    Jim ><>

    PS: I just noticed that there are a few
    places the code needs to be fixed.
    If we want to use this site,
    I will fix it. Let me know.

      Yeah, I'd say you are spamming. The goal of this project is to teach newbies that it can be done, not to sell your hosting and article services. You should have something to contribute as part of the profit share...as in free.

        Hi Again,

        I don't want to sound like I am spaming, but
        I'll write 10 articles on any one topic of
        your choice for, $45 (a $25 discount).

        300 to 400 words each article. The main
        article written with the main kw seo'd
        and all other articles on subtopics
        of the main kw.

        If this sounds too much like spam,
        let me know and I'll delete it.
        But I assume that we need
        articles for the website.

    Hi DotComBum,

    If the number of newbies are high, I have a suggestion to make:

    Why not separate them into a few teams (3 in a team) and place an established site flipper as the leader? Of course the profits will be low, but what people want is the learning experiences I supposed.

      Separating in small groups might not be a good idea, if working as a big group, things will get done faster.

    Writing articles (experienced with EzineArticles and alike)

    A team of 3-4 would be great, perhaps we should create an ebook, get some sales. Sell the website AND the product for maximum profit.

        As the purpose of site flipping is selling a turnkey website, if i am not mistaken. then the one who buy the site, will have the right to sell the software?

        Actually I am selling PLR rights for this software on WSO thread,

    If not, let me know what you're looking for in hd space and bandwidth, and I'll see if I can afford to just give it to the project. (Free for up to 30 days after the sale.)

        I'd say a few of you have selective reading qualities.

        1. I did not hear "DotComBum" say anything about me spaming

        2. I am donating a whole website which I am reluctant to move
        to another host (if you want to move it you are welcome to
        do it and I won't charge for hosting)

        3. Writing 10 articles for $45 with kw and sub-kw's is not exactly
        a money-maker. I can make a lot of money with a blog with
        10 pages of unique content installed.

        4. I bring website flipping experience to the table - do you?

        So, please think a little before thinking someone is
        shirking "cash money" and/or spaming.

          We certainly willing to pay if it's good quality work, further more it's at discounted rate :p In that way it benefits those who are contributing their parts in the flipping.

    Gosh. I don't know how you are going to co-ordinate this project. Could be a bit like herding cats.

    I'd be interesting in taking part in order to learn new skills. I am a writer of about 60 books (the old fashioned ones with paper and ink) plus a lot of magazine and blog articles. Many subjects.

    But as I say, who is going to herd them pesky cats?

      I have thought of that, if the flipping of this scale has never be done before, then we are the first There sure will be problems here and there, but I think we can overcome it one by one.

    I think we should consider donating the money from the sale to charity.

    With this many people involved, the profit for each person will be minimal. Plus disbursing it could be a real PITA. I think most of the people are here to learn and probably don't care about making $5 on the deal.

    Of course, I could be wrong about that ... I was wrong once before....

      $5 is a lot of money to some folks, especially
      if they are $5 short on the rent payment
      or 2 days short of food for the month.

        Yes, I know that it can be a lot of money to some folks, but seeing as you have to pay $6 to get in I was thinking that people wouldn't be doing this looking to get money out of it to pay their rent but more for the experience.

        Hi Lee,

        I guess I sounded a little too blunt in my reply - I am sorry

        I am in no way against donating the funds to charity,
        I guess I was thinking about how this might
        put someone "on the spot" who might
        need the cash and hoping to
        generate more out than
        he/she put into it.

        Please forgive,

    Hi All,

    Are we going to sell this website quickly or let it age?

    A few weeks can mean the difference of selling it
    for $97 and selling it for $297.

    1 sale will boost the price many fold.

    Example:

    A normal website with unique content
    will sell for about $97 on a dot com DN.

    Get a sale at $20 and you boost the
    value by 8 to 10 times the sale price.
    Ex. $97 + $200 = $297

      Why would we pay for content when we have so many willing participants with talent and the ability to do it for free?

      If you read the point of the thread, the purpose is to create something from scratch and flip it. What's the point of doing that if someone is going to donate a website? Again, the price of the content is not the issue, but if you want to help then you would do it for free. I write for much more than that and I'd be willing to do it for free.

      Dotcombum may not have said anything about you spamming, but I don't see where he owns the thread? Also, we are all paying equal buy in, so we all have an equal part in the discussion.

      You may have experience flipping, but I've never seen you around here before and I don't know if I agree with your intentions.

        Really? Is that what it says?
        "We'll find experts among members who can do the setting up of the site(s) for free or for a special discounted fee. We'll brainstorm for ideas together and help to promote the site(s) until it's sold on eBay."

        What's the point of doing that if someone is going to donate a website?

        Yes, I am donating a website, if we agree to it, so what?
        I also donated a sales page that has been proven
        to generate $100 cash. Let's see yours


        Perhaps we should not get Graphics from anyone,
        cause that would not be "from scratch"?


        Again, the price of the content is not the issue, but if you want to help then you would do it for free. I write for much more than that and I'd be willing to do it for free.

        So, "help" always means "free". I see ...

        I just offered something for free, what do you want?

        Look, if you want to write it for free great.
        I'll be looking for your contribution.

        Dotcombum may not have said anything about you spamming, but I don't see where he owns the thread? Also, we are all paying equal buy in, so we all have an equal part in the discussion.

        Guess that includes me, I have an equal right in the discussion.

        And Dotcombum does own the thread, and I think
        he has at least one "complainer" to deal with.


        You may have experience flipping, but I've never seen you around here before and I don't know if I agree with your intentions.

        Now you want to attack my intentions, fine.
        But I won't bother to reply to you after this.

          Jim, I don't want to turn this into a thread for you and I to argue, so I'll just be brief.

          I'd be more than willing to write articles for free. I make a part of my living writing, so I have an idea of what works and what doesn't.

          I also have a large portfolio of sites worth much more than $100, so this isn't a case of who's got the bigger guns.

          You came in with an attitude that I don't appreciate, call it whatever you want. I don't see how a new person would benefit from paying 6 bucks to join and then not see a website built from scratch to sell. If we used a pre-built website, then we are cutting out a majority of the process.

          At 27 people, this might be tough to manage anyway. I might start my own project to help those that get left out here.

    Flipping is something that I have wanted to try forever, got a couple of WSO's on it, I am more of a work along with person so this is a great opportunity.

    I am recently getting into the domain of VRE or site flipping and would love to be involved. I have a few domains of my own that I may be willing to throw into something like this. Do you plan on doing this with many sites? I'd like to get involved with someone or a group of people who would like to do this kind of thing on a consistent basis.

    In my signature I link to my Project Portfolio page. I've got one website in the works for the purpose of selling. Check it out and let me know if this is something anyone would be interested in. I can probably provide content as well, depending on the niche and content needed for the site.

    Yes, and giving away that free report would be a great way to build a list, too

      No, if all go well, the registration will be opened on coming Monday 16 February.

      Someone has mentioned whether donating websites or anything else will go against the purpose of this project, well what I can say is the main purpose of site flipping is for the profit, so whether it's a donated site or a site we build up ourself, it don't really matters ;p
