A Flip a Day author Piper Anderson!
Here is a special treat. Piper Anderson, the author of A Flip A Day, has been kind enough to write us a quick post about website flipping. If you aren’t familiar with Piper’s course, you can read more about it here. I personally invested in this course a while ago. Then just recently I was surprised to find Piper on a forum I belong to called Earn1kaDay.
I really enjoyed here book about website flipping and I feel it really holds a lot of value. Especially for those looking to get into website flipping as a business and not just flipping a site a month. I don’t want to do a complete write up here, so I’ll stop writing now. But you can get real user feedback on this forum thread here. So without wasting any more of your reading time, here is Piper Anderson.
Website flipping is more popular than ever as an online business. More and more savvy entrepreneurs are realizing that they can do just as well financially, and often even better, with “virtual real estate” (websites) than they can with physical real estate, especially now that the housing market has tanked.
Well, the housing market may be suffering, but online real estate in the form of websites is thriving, and prices are only continuing to go up. Lots of people now look at owning websites as a good long-term investment strategy, building up their virtual properties and renting out space on them, just like the landlords of old.
Then, there are the short-term strategists, also known as the flippers. These are the people who hold onto a website only for a short time, build it up (or spruce it up, if they’re buying a used one), then flip it within a few months for huge profits. This is also following the model of the house flippers who thrived during the real estate boom of the early part of the 21st century.
If you’re looking to start a profitable online business that is virtually recession-proof and that will only continue to increase in profitability the more you put into it, then website flipping is for you.
It is a stable, reliable source of income if you go about it correctly, and can bring you large lump sums of cash over and over again with ease. And, there’s no time like the present to get started!
There are two main approaches to website flipping. The first one is to buy an already existing website that is unattractive, under-monetized, not properly promoted, or all three. You can usually get these sites for a pittance. Then, you make it pretty, get it to start making some money, and promote it a little bit.
It usually doesn’t take much time or effort to do this with an existing site. Then, in just a few weeks….and sometimes just a few days, if you’ve picked up a real gem….you can “flip” it on one of several website marketplaces (Flippa.com is the most popular and currently the place where you’ll probably get the best prices for most websites) for a handsome profit.
The second approach, and the one I use, as it requires very little start-up capital, is to create a website from scratch, get it earning money, then sell it as soon as possible. This is sort of like being a house builder in the real world. Do your research ahead of time to make sure you’re building your website on a good foundation.
This means selecting a strong niche, highly searched keywords with low competition, and an exact-match domain name to your main keyword (or as close as you can get). Populate the website with well-written, search engine optimized, relevant content, add some attractive graphics, and promote it to the proper audience.
Once the website starts making money….and it shouldn’t take long if you’ve done things correctly….you can turn around and sell it on Flippa for 10 to 12 times its monthly earnings with ease. The Flippa marketplace is teeming with people who are eager, even desperate, to buy a website that has a proven history of making money.
It doesn’t even have to have been making money for very long to sell. I often sell my websites after only a month. If they’ve made any amount of money in Adsense, Amazon commissions, or other affiliate income, they will (and do!) sell like hotcakes!
If you’re interested in getting started in website flipping, there are several steps you need to know in order to start out strong and have the best chance of success. Learning how to choose a niche, how to pick keywords, how to build a site quickly, how to list a website auction on Flippa in a way that encourages bids, and how to transfer the site to the new owner after the sale are all important things you must know before embarking on your new virtual real estate career.
Fortunately, there is a guidebook to getting started in website flipping and being successful at it. It’s called “A Flip a Day”, and is a step-by-step blueprint for starting and maintaining your virtual real estate empire. It’s the exact formula I’ve used to flip a site a day for months on end, with a successful auction each time. Follow the instructions in this book and you can do the same.
You can purchase “A Flip a Day” right now for only $11.
Here’s to your success in your new website flipping career!
