An Income Opportunity Home Based Business Based On Flipping Websites
| Making a consistent income on the internet can be a tough business. If you’ve been trying to create an internet income opportunity home based business and you’re just not getting anywhere with it, then try the strategy outlined in this article. |

First thing, take a look at this website: Gable Attic Fan
Pretty simple website, right? It promotes one product (Gable attic fans), and has Google Adsense on it.
Well, this website was created less than 12 weeks ago, receives only 234 unique visitors per month, and has no backlinks pointing to it. No social bookmarking has been done with it. No directory submissions. Nothing! What’s amazing about this is this – This Website Sold At Auction Almost 4 Weeks Ago For $620 In Less Than 2 Days!!
Take a look here: http://flippa.com/auctions/97619
Now, take a look at this website. It has almost no traffic or income, but it sold for $2200 – WebHostingReview.org
And, now this one. No sales, but it does have some traffic – Belly Fat Site Sold for $1500
What I’m trying to point out is that you can beat your head against the wall and keep trying to sell products through affiliate marketing or you can start making sizable chunks of money by making, selling, and reselling of websites.
This is called “flipping websites”. These examples that I’ve shown you shows that there is a huge market for existing websites – even websites that are new, have little traffic, and almost no income.
So, you don’t have to build a website that will make you $10,000 per day. All you have to do is get a website rolling and then cash it in for some big money.
There are two avenues you can take down this road. One is to research and buy an existing website and resell it, or, two is to start a mini-niche site, promote it, and sell it to the highest bidder. Let’s look at the first avenue to begin with – buying an existing website and reselling it.
The best auction house that I’ve found for websites is Flippa. Go there and take a look around. It costs nothing to join.
Watch these auctions on a regular basis and after 1-2 weeks, you’ll have a pretty good feel for what a website should sell for.
What I like to look for are websites that have been in existence for 2 or more years and either, 1) Have traffic, but are poorly monetized, or 2) Sales, but little traffic. When I can buy these type of websites at auction for a low price, I know I’ll have money in my bank in the near future.
For the poorly monetized sites that have traffic, I’ll add new affiliate products, Google Adsense, and Text Link Ads. As soon as the website starts to make more money, I resale it at auction and put chunks of cash back into my bank.
For the sites that have sales, but little traffic, I go on a linking campaign. I write articles and submit them to Web 2.0 sites such as Squidoo and Ezinearticles, linking them back to the main website. I do press releases, directory submissions, social profile links, forum submissions, and leave remarks on dofollow blogs.
Links are the key to Google rankings and as the ranking to my website increases, the traffic to the website increases and so does the income. Ka-Ching! I sell the website at auction for big profits! (One thing that I do want to point out is that I don’t do all this work myself. I outsource a lot of this work to some very professional people at a very low cost. If you want to learn more about this, read my article Outsourcing Help For Your Network Marketing Internet Business.)
Now, let’s talk about the second avenue you can take – making your own mini-niche websites, promoting them, and selling them at auction.
Here’s how to do that:
1. Build your mini-niche site using highly focused keywords. For example, in the example of the website that sold above, Gable Attic Fan, the words “Gable Attic Fan” are one of the few keywords. This keyword is used in the domain name and URL. Google will give this website extra credits for doing that. Keep the website small – not over 5-8 pages.
IMPORTANT – Keyword research is the most important step to building an income opportunity home based business. You’ve found the “Goose that laid the Golden Egg” when you find a hungry, starving crowd that wants to buy and you find the keywords to dominate that market. I use the best tool on the market to do this with – it’s called Market Samurai. I build my sites similar to what is taught in the Google Sniper method, only I sell them shortly after I build them.
2. Write articles and submit them to Squidoo, EzineArticles, and Hubpages with links back to your mini-niche website. Google loves these three sites and not only will it help your rankings, but it’ll also drive extra traffic.
Also, submit ads to USFreeAds and link them back to your mini-niche website. For more information on this, read my article Is Bum Marketing A Legitimate Business Opportunity?
3. Create links back to your mini-niche website. Social bookmark the articles you submitted above to places like Digg.com and Reddit.com. I use an automatic service to do this with and it’s called Traffic Bug. This tool will also do directory and RSS submissions for you.
Ping the search engines with the RSS of each of your social bookmarks at Pingomatic.com.
Other great ways to make links to your mini-niche site is to visit other blogs and leave comments with a link back to your site. Do press releases, social profile links, and visit related forums – leave links to your site at all of these.
IMPORTANT – Be sure that you use your keywords in the actual link that you leave at each of these sites so that the search engines will give your keyword the credit for that link!
4. Monetize, monetize, monetize – and here are some ways to do that:
=> Clickbank, PayDotCom, Commission Junction – These are the three best known affiliate marketplaces. Commissions on many products are as high as 75% and that’s good extra income.
=> Google Adsense – Google’s own advertising network. Get paid to run ads on your website. Easy to install and visitors expect to see these ads.
=> 7Search and Adbrite – Alternatives for Google Adsense. These are reputable companies.
=>TextLinkAds – In addition to Google Adsense, 7Search, and Adbrite, you can place additional text link ads on your website. TextLinkAds is the best known, but they are sometimes picky. TextLinkBrokers is an alternative.
=> CPA Networks – There are a lot of these. CPA stands for “cost per action”. That means that your website will earn a commission when the visitor performs a certain action. It may be that they have to supply their email address, a zip code, or a number of other things.
To find one of these related to your website, go to Google search and type in “YourNiche +cpa network”. You’ll find several to choose from.
Use one or all of monetization methods. If one doesn’t work, swap it out for another.
Remember, on these mini-niche websites, your website only needs to start generating only a few dollars per month before you can sell it. You want to turn these over as quickly as possible and put big bucks in the bank.
Then, start another one and keep flipping. Within a short period of time, you’ll learn that you can make and flip websites very quickly. You’ll be working on several of them all at the same time. It’ll become routine. Flipping websites will become your income opportunity home based business.
