You can always tell the latest thing about Internet Marketing by finding out what all the Gurus are trying to sell Newbies.
And the latest piece of work from the sol called “Guru” is about selling websites on Flippa.
Believe me, it’s no picnic and as far as I’m concerned a waste of time.
I’ve tried to sell two sites on Flippa recently.
Not masterful sites but decent none the less with traffic and income.
Site #1: Nice site in the home improvement niche, 1-1/2 years old, about 400 unique $50 income per month.
Best offer I had was $80. Photo from http://flippachick.com
Why would I sell a site making $50 per month for 80 bucks? Waste of my time and expense.
But this next one was really way off.
Site #2: This was a 2 site package, a .info and a .com.
Combined traffic and income of 2,000 unique and $800 per month, all organic thru search and articles.
I did PPC and the income went up to over $1400 per month.
The best offer was $1994.00. Again, why would anyone sell a site this cheap that made $800 per month pure profit?
I can earn that money in 2-1/2 months.
In my opinion, selling real sites with traffic and income for a decent price is practically impossible on Flippa unless it’s some kind of business.
Seems like the sites that sell well are new sites with a lot of flash but no traffic or income.
In fact one line I used in one of the sales pitches was, “You want flash or cash?” Buy mine if you want the cash!
The newbs are sucking those up like crazy from about $200 to $400 a pop.
The designer probably spends a couple of hours making them.
$200 to $400 is a good price for a couple of hours of work.
That would be a great business for someone good at building WP sites.
So, I am I wrong about Flippa, or I just don’t know how to do it?
