First Attempt At Website Flipping Feeling Disheartened

59 replies
This is my first time trying out website flipping. I have listed the site on flippa with very detailed description of what keywords the site ranks for, how much traffic it gets, what are the sources of income and how much money it makes all with detail proofs.

But the bids have not been too great. Can anyone who has experience with flipping help me with what I must do to attract more eyeballs and worthy bids on the listing?

I mean it is a different thing to own a good product and it is completely different to be able to market it properly to get it the price it is worth which a good marketer knows very well.

These are the few options I am considering:

I have already used the bold and colored listing feature on flippa, I am considering the featured listing option now. The auction period was 9 days and there are still 7 days for the auction to end. Would you recommend making the listing featured right now to get interested buyers and get proper bids or shall I wait till the end to make a last moment featured listing to attract impulsive buyers?

Any help regarding how I should market it is appreciated.

    It's early days - most bids don't come in until the last 24 hours in my experience. I never use listing upgrades (I've tried them but they're not really worth it). If you do decide to go with the featured listing wait until the last day or two.

      Seeing some action as the auction nears deadline. Thanks for the tip I reduced the auction duration yesterday and saw some improvements. About to reduce the BIN today so that the highest bidder is near the BIN. Someone who is serious will always want to grab the property at the BIN instead of slogging it out with other bidders...

    @Hamida thanks for your insight I will try to use the featured listing option in the last two days. Would you also recommend making the auction duration shorter to close in quick sales as many others I have consulted with, including you, have resonated the same fact that most of the bids will come in the last 2 days usually within the last 12 hours.

    Shall I shorten the auction period then? What do you recommend..

    I make my listings for 5 days. Don't expect bidding until the last day pretty much. I use the Featured Listing on the last couple of days or even the last day. It's a waste of money doing Featured before the auction is nearing close.

    I have a friend who makes thousands doing this with sites with no traffic and making no money. Look for flippa sites with auto or automatic in the title, they are hers and follow what she is doing.

      It seems the ones with the 'automatic' are the kinds which are sales pages which claim to have made a few hundred dollars in the first month of listing so they sell them for a few thousand dollars at flippa.

      Well even my blog makes 350$ a month on auto pilot but maybe it is not possible to edit a listing's title once it is listed on flippa it seems. I will have to live with mine now.

      The time doesn't matter. I try to make mine not end on a weekend, but when someone bids in the last 4 hours, the auction is automatically extended for another 4 hours, so you can't really target an ending time.

    Flippa members are not so easy to fool anymore. They know what quality is and you will need a lot of luck to sell something for 2 or 3 times of its real value.

    3 days is too early to see any bids, the watchlist number is a better indicator of how many bidders might be interested in your listing. Most of the bids will come during last 24hrs, it'd help a lot to have your listing featured during last 24hrs.

    On a side note, it helps to review the bids manually, especially if bids are in $XXXX. You want to make sure that the bidder has good feedback, you don't want the highest bidder to be someone who'd pull back after winning the auction.

      I couldn't thank you enough! I don't know how I missed the watchlist feature!

      Now things look a lot clearer after I went back and checked the watchlish, there are 14 people watching the listing. I suppose these people are called 'snipers', the ones who silently watch a listing till its end and bid only in the end, so that the highest bid amount always stays low till the last few hours of the auction. When the auction is just about to conclude, all the snipers start making last moment bids.

        But sniping doesn't work on Flippa. Any bid placed within the last 4 hrs will automatically extend the auction by another 4 hrs.

          Agreed that sniping does not work on flippa but that would be for the buyers isn't it?

          What I wanted to highlight was that there are 4 'not so lucrative' bids on my listing now and 14 people are tracking the listing. Which means they are bound to bid when the listing is nearing its end. Which is a good sign for me as far as being a seller is concerned. Even if the auction gets extended the sole effect of that will be an increase in the revenue. So it seems like a good deal that flippa increases the listing by 4 hours.

            Do you have a reserve on the auction? If there's no reserve and you accept the not so lucrative bids, one of them will win. If you do have a reserve, I accept all of the bids before it reaches the reserve and then after it has reached the reserve, I only accept the bids from bidders that I trust to a certain degree (ones that have feedback and/or aren't brand new).

            Accepting all bids before the reserve is met, helps it to get to the "most active" page, which gets additional views.

              My listing bids have crossed the reserve and the bid has turned green. It now appears on the front page of the [Midrange] https://flippa.com/buy-mid-range website listings so I guess there is no need any more to buy the featured listing option, because this is getting enough eyeballs already. With 8 bids and 31 comments, it might show up in the most active tab soon.

              Fingers crossed but the true value not reached yet the current highest bid is still a little more than half of what the site actually deserves. All my hopes to get a fair deal are on the 17 snipers who are waiting for the bid to near ending so make their bids at the last moment.

    Keep watch within the last 6 hours or so (has been my experience) and people here seem to agree. Featured listing will definitely help but if it's a low ticket website it might not be worth it.

      My reserve price is 800$ which has already been met, I expect around 2400$+ for the site since it makes around 320$ every month on auto pilot. Having checked out other listings on flippa sites that are not even comparable to the above statistics have been sold pretty easily. Maybe they are also taking help of other promotional means like email marketing.

      All said, I will keep my fingers crossed, looks like it can reach a wider audience if I feature the listing, what say? Because it is currently not visible under any flippa tag (featured | ending soon| most active). So I will have to feature it to get worthy bids it seems..

        It's an auction, so price is determined by demand. If a site makes money or has the potential to make money, there will be a market for it. I've seen websites go for more than 20k, but they were well-established sites with proof of income and traffic.

    Use Flippa's filters and see which new sites (with zero income) sold for a decent price. Then, model your next listing on a previous successful listing. I find that once I stopped trying to figure out what people wanted on my own, the money started flowing. Oh, and instead of worrying, get another 3 or 4 listings out there instead! Good luck!

    PS - Most people who succeed at this also build a buyer's list. Then, when they have a new auction, it goes to the buyer's list first.

    You didn't mention the value of your site so this may not apply to you but I like to accept all bids and have no reserve, doing so makes the price go green one a bid is made which in turn attracts more bids...

    I also like to add a fairly high "buy it now" price to give a higher perceived value.

      By "accept all bids that have no reserve" do you intend to say that 'accept all bids above the reserve', sorry the statement is a little confusing to me. As far as the site's value is concerned, I have a price in mind, which is the actual worth of the site. Though my listing has turned green already I am not fully convinced with the price that they are offering. But there are 17 people watching the listing, possibly snipers, so I hope there is some action in the last few hours of listing.

      I have included a very detailed account of the site in terms of what keywords it ranks for, what are the traffic sources, how much traffic it gets, how much money it makes and how it makes that money. Plus I have also listed future growth opportunities and possible liabilities to make it a wholesome listing. Supported every claim with related screenshots.

    How potential is your site to make money? It is must be thought by buyers before they buy from you. I think good site will produce "big money" for its owner.

      350$ in stable passive income and a potential to start making around 650$+ if the new buyer already has an email list or decides to spend some efforts to make it even better.

      The way I see it, the new user can make it bigger and sell it for a huge rate on flippa within 6 months...

    Try to wait it out. The majority of bids come in at the end of the auction. It is different with every auction.
    Another thing you may want to do its add a link to your status on Facebook and Twitter. Also make sure you email your list letting them know you have your site for sale and you could have some potential bidders there.

      I really have all my hopes hanging on the last few days of bids. The highest bidder as of now is 1830. I am looking for at least 2500$ because I know that it is worth it. It is an established site in all sense. Lets hope for the best

    Webtechprodigy,

    Congrats on your first attempt at website flipping!.

    I'm still trying to get started in domain flipping myself, but, I'm having a hard time (it's probably because I hand registered the names and they don't have traffic).

    I'm also still considering doing site flipping as well. Flippa has a ton of interesting/cool sites on there for sale.

      I don't think there is a necessity to show traffic proof for domain flipping. You are selling just the domain and there is no site built on that domain so the most probable reason for someone to buy a domain from you will be its PageRank or its brandable nature. Like if you have a domain like goldfish.com or ecommerce.com or similar generic keywords that are highly searched then you can sell it for millions. An alternative would be to own a brandable domain like skrill.com sqube.com or something like that, which an entrepreneur might want to acquire for his next startup project.

      For example the domain name snapdeal.com was purchased from a domain flipper for 3000$ just for its brandable name. Now the site has a turnover of 10billion which is a different story altogether.

    As most of the previous Warriors said, most of the bids will come at the very end especially if you have no reserve price

    There were several occasions where there was no bids for my auction till the final 4 hours and the entire auction dragged for another 3 day with its price going up from $0 to $1,500!

    I may not a Flippa expert but I have had some experiences to share with you

      My listing encountered a similar fate. There was a bidding war in the first 3 days between 5 buyers, and ultimately the winning bid was made by someone totally different at the last moment

    Well, when I registered these names, they were brandable, to me anyway. Though, I've really had no luck trying to sell them on Sedo, Moniker, even Namepros. They're not two word domains however, one of them though is an LLLL.net, which think could be branded into something.

      The best way to build a domain business is to run a side by side website flipping business. That way, you don't have to waste a lot of time just waiting for the domains to be sold, instead you can use that time to build a few sites on the domains that you purchased. So by the time you are looking for clients (non paying period) you can keep building value on a few sites. So you can flip them later and time is saved. Just my 2 cents.
