Site Flippers can I ask you a question?

Sounds incredible to me, as you've described it, especially the part about how a site comes out of the inventory once it's been downloaded.

Let us know when it's ready!

Yep, I'd certainly pay for something like that.

Wow! Great to hear that, that makes me feel more comfortable investing software development time.

If you guys are interested, I will need some beta testers when we are done with the development, and can surely set you guys up with an account.

I don't have 15 posts to PM you, but by the time development is done I most likely will, so I will PM you then with information.

Thanks again,

That sounds really cool. How many unique articles and what would be the price per site? Would you be using premium templates (or themes if blogs)? Monetizing them?

Why stop at site flippers - maybe people would want them to keep and promote themselves?

Yeah that would be an awesome tool. I would be happy to help you betatest it

Hey,

Well basically, I have been making websites for four to five years and playing around in this industry, but because of school I never put my websites to work, just set them up.

I have been studying memberships for a few months now and using the assets that I have setup and never used I want to place them as inventory.

All the sites are different.

Information sites monetized through adsense

Review sites looking for some affiliate commissions

Some have their own product

A product funnel in place with no backend

Lead generations with small lists

Interactive ideas

Blogs

Service oriented ideas with no 'service person'

Web 2.0 copies (for example, I have a site that is developed similar to twitter, but instead you post these "never have I ever" 140 character messages, ask your teenagers about the game lol)

In overall, probably around 180 websites to start that have been 85% complete but just need someone to put some extra content in them.

Most of them have two or three 600-800 word articles that I was going to use for promotion or just content, but never did.

My favorite thing to do in life is brainstorm ideas and then create the business frame work, but frankly I'm not that good at that next step, and that is why I'm trying to setup this membership that people can just take my startups and take that next step with them.

I figured my best bet would be targetting the Site Flipping industry because they have this huge inventory of sites to download, and I would regulate the membership by how many sites they want to download per month.

I just don't know how I would market it in a generalize Internet Marketing industry.

Once again, thanks for your comments and all of you will definitely hear from me once I finalized the development.

so are these basically templates with adsense built into them and some articles added? or just adsense with some feeds added?

TrafficMystic,

I never liked feeds so I never installed them. I only have like ten sites with just information and adsense, most have some unique idea behind them.

I think you need to rethink your strategy. You're on the right track but I think there's a better way to market your product for residual income like selling licenses for the right to flip your pre-made sites.

Best wishes,

Eric,

I'm not that familiar with what you mean by selling liscenses. If you mean PLR, the problem is if I have 100 members, they all can't download and sell the same sites or content, because it would devalue my members end sale.

I definitely understand what you mean of rethink the strategy, but what else is available to me?

Many years ago I belonged to a membership site that built web sites that I could download and change out a few codes to make them ready to sell. They didn't have them taken out of inventory when I downloaded them, and others could download the same site and put it under a different domain. Most of them could be configured with different colors and so the variations were many.

When you consider how many people will use the same theme for their Wordpress blog, that doesn't stop people from downloading them and using them. The world wide web is a huge place, and I just don't think it is necessary to only allow one person to download a site before you take it out of inventory. Especially if you can set up an easy way to alter colors etc.

Just my opinion though.

Tim,

When you put it that way and make a 'bigger picture' it makes sense.

Maybe two membership levels, a premier, exclusive membership and then a limit membership, like ten downloads on one site or so.

The whole idea is fantastic. However, you need to ask yourself where the residual income will be coming once you sell out the 100 or so sites. Unless you have a system on ground that will help create many more of those sites, the idea is going to last for a while.

Hi! This actually sounds like a great idea! I'm pm'ing you, if you still need some beta testers.

You might have to do some trial and error, maybe lose a little $, but it's definitely an idea worth pursuing

Well,

That was my plan... keep the membership down to 50 to 100 members and have only exclusive rights. It is a first come first serve process. From the beginning members will have the choice of 150 sites, and these will go rather quickly. Then every month we will load the equal amount of sites to the amount of members... If there are 100 members, 100 pre-made startups will go live at the beginning of the month.

I guess I'm kind of rambling on, let me finalize the software and membership and then you guys can test it out and let me know the best possible solution.

So, some people will be members but end up with no sites? Like an internet marketing version of "Musical Chairs?"

No, I don't see how that equates... to be honest, development has to finish, I have not yet figured out the complete business model, just the general concept,

Yes, Sounds Awesome. Let me know if I can have a chance to test it out?

Sounds interesting. I'd be interested in seeing the quality of the product and pricing, etc.

Hey,

Thanks for the comments...

There is some new update to this thread:

I have designed the membership backend, just the basic functionality, none of the links are working really except:

The Warehouse > Business > Blackberry Wallpapers
