Buying and selling websites In last weeks newsletter I wrote an article about buying and selling websites on Ebay. A few days ago I heard about a new member only web site Buying Web Businesses from well known marketer Kirt Christensen that covers this very topic. Kirt's been making a great income buying sites, improving them , and selling them again at a massive profit. This site teaches you exactly how to do it. I became a member immediately. Like I say, this site is brand new and hasn't been promoted anywhere. Currently there are only 13 members and most likely few of them will be interested in promoting the affiliate program. If you'd like to earn some money promoting it please click here to sign up for the affiliate program. But if you have any interest at all in buying and selling sites you should become a member and learn from Kirt's vast experience. Here's last weeks article For 2 days now I've been stuck on Ebay, looking at the websites for sale auctions. I've been hooked, and it's opened my eyes to a whole new way of making money.. building mini sites for direct sale in auctions. I've found that a number of people, with varying degrees of skill, are purpose building quick mini sites to sell them off on Ebay. The best of them are excellent and tempting. Other are poor. But even many of the poor ones sell. One thing they nearly all have in common is that they're built to promote affiliate programs, usually something like vstore, or a range of themed Commission Junction affiliate programs. In fact I nearly bought one of these sites for my daughter Kate (even though it can't have taken more than an hour or so to put together, the price was so low that I went back to the site 4 times before deciding against it) The site was called Doggy Delight and linked to a number of affiliate programs run through Commission Junction. It's a doddle to put this kind of site together. You could easily build a couple in a day, following the step-by-step directions in Mini Site Profits then either promote them or sell them off as a going concern. But back to Doggy Delight. What stopped me buying it was a quick visit to my favorite keyword tool Word Tracker where I found that nearly all the searches for doggy were looking for the kind of site I'd rather not mention in this newsletter. Sites at the top of the chain, though not necessarily in price, are ready to go pay-per-click websites. There's a thriving trade in them. Look at this one, Searchpond with just 8 hours to go it could have been yours for $100 (see here) I'm not sure what it finally went for...but it was just one of half a dozen search engines for sale this week. Vehiclevender is a quality site being offered for $399. It's a turnkey car business site that's been built especially to sell on Ebay. With some promotion you could probably do very well with it. If the site doesn't make money as it is, then there are plenty of car type affiliate programs to promote. And here's GetNutrition.net....a good looking food/health site that could be developed and, at the time of writing is on offer with no reserve and only attracting a top bid of $1 (bound to have increased by the time you read this) Of course you still need to learn how to plug in the best affiliate programs, and how market and promote sites like this, but I've done all the hard work for you in my book Mini Site Profits _______________________________________________________ If you'd like to join Kirt's site and learn how to make money buying and selling websites click here.
