Flipping Website? What is it?

15 years ago

Hi Trice,

There are several ways to "flip websites". You can simply buy a complete website for a low price and immediately put it back on the market for a higher price, or you can build a website from scratch, develop some traffic and/or customer list and sell the whole thing, or you can buy a website that is half-done and build it up to sell for profit.

Thanks

The best marketplace to sell (and buy) websites is SitePoint : New Articles, Fresh Thinking for Web Developers and Designers. You can also sell your websites at places like DigitalPoint, DNForum, and even here at the WF, in the right section of course.

Thanks

Don't forget about Ebay. You can find some tips on flipping websites right here on the WF, and there are several WSO's right now on that very subject that will get you up and running in no time.

Thanks

You can flip right here on the WF. Either in your sig file or on the WSO forum or classified forum.

Why did Gene get an infraction? Seems like a pretty good explanation. I flip blogs for profit. Mostly, it is not real flipping because I build most of them from scratch. A true flip is finding a site that has potential, fixing all the problems, getting links and traffic and reselling it for a nice profit. You can get my free ebook to see an example of a blog flip I did in real time here on the forum.
