Flipping Can Be An Income Opportunity Home Based Business
Flipping is a term used in the internet marketing world. It is the act of buying and selling websites for a profit. Flipping can be an income opportunity home based business that requires only 1-2 hours of work per day. It has huge profit potential. Let me explain.
One new website or blog is created every 1/2 second. Nearly 99% of these websites will never get much traffic, usually because they have chosen the wrong keywords (read Traffic Is Key To An Internet Income Opportunity). But, with over 170,000 new websites and blogs created every day, if only 1% of these do have the ability get much traffic that means 1,700 new, valuable websites are on the internet each and every day.
Now, many of these good websites will never deliver a cent of profit to their owners. Why? Well, many of them were created for reasons other than profit and many of them will never be monetized properly. Learning to monetize a website is a skill that many web owners just don’t have. Owners of many of these potentially good websites, will eventually get tired of working on their “gold mines” and either give up on them or sell them. Those up for sale are what you need to be looking for.
You are probably asking two questions right now:
- Where do I look for these potentially, good websites that are for sale?
- How do I recognize a potentially, good website from a poor one?
I believe Flippa is the best place to look for websites for sale. Go there and check it out. You can join for free (I don’t receive any commissions from Flippa). Flippa provides an abundant amount of information on websites that are up for sale. Another marketplace to look at is the Sitepoint Marketplace.
To recognize potentially, good websites for my income opportunity home based business I look at several things:
1. Profit – Does the website make a profit? If so, how much and for how long? Do they have written records of this sales activity? What niche or market are they in?
I review the monetization methods that they have been using. Can I improve upon it? If the website is already making some money and if I believe I can improve its money making potential, the website has my interest.
2. Traffic – Traffic is the most important things that I look for. Each unique visitor is worth some amount of money. If the site already has a sizable amount of traffic, that’s good! If not, why not? Is it the niche or the website. If it’s the niche, my interest goes way down. If it’s the website, what is wrong with it? How many back links does the site have? What keywords are being used?
This is where I use one of my tools that I have. That tool is called Market Samurai. I can use this tool to determine if the keywords being used are appropriate or if they need changing. I can also use this tool to determine how competitive the internet market is for the keywords being used.
In the end, when I am reviewing a potential website that’s for sale, I either want it to already have a lot of traffic while generating little or no income (not monetized properly). Or, have low levels of traffic, in a good niche, sound keywords, and huge potential.
I decide how much I am willing to pay and I bid on the website. Up front, I decide what is the maximum amount I am willing to pay and I don’t go over that amount.
After I have purchased the website, I lay out plans for improving the website’s performance. Sometimes, I only have to monetize the website. Sometimes, I only have to increase traffic. But, I usually work on both monetization and traffic.
After I have my plans developed, I outsource the labor at oDesk (read Outsourcing Help For Your Network Marketing Internet Business).This is really the simple way to do it and it’s inexpensive to do. I get an email every day from my outsourced laborers on what progress they’ve made. I stay focused on developing other ways to make more money.
At some point in the future, usually 3-9 months, the performance on the websites that I have purchased has increased so much that I can sell them for huge profits. I use those profits to buy more websites. So, you see, flipping websites can be an income opportunity home based business.
Use This New Clickbank Tool To Increase Your Internet Income Opportunity
Good News!! Clickbank has added a new tool to their site that will enable you to increase your internet income opportunity. Check this out.
If you have ever done pay per click advertising before, and, if you were trying to sell a Clickbank product, it was sometimes difficult to track your sales by keywords used. That’s because if you were advertising on Google Adwords, Yahoo, or MSN, you had to get their conversion codes and then email it to the merchant. The merchant had to DO it for you.
There were problems with doing that. Sometimes it took a lot of time to get it done. Sometimes it skewed the results for everyone. And, sometimes you could not find an email address for the merchant. Problems, problems, problems….
Now, that’’s all changed thanks to Clickbank! Your conversion code can now be added right into your Clickbank account. Once you have done this, when you check your PPC accounts at Google, Yahoo, or MSN you can find the exact keyword that led to your sales! You will also be able to determine which keywords are only costing you money and are not delivering sales. This is a big advantage to you on helping you make profits with your internet income opportunity.
Here’s how to do this. If you don’t have your conversion code, go get it – you will need it.
1. Sign into your Clickbank account.
2. Click on “Account Settings” at the top.
3. Scroll down the page until you find the box labeled “INTEGRATED SALES REPORTING”.
4. Click “Edit”.
5. Find the green button that says “ADD TRACKING CODE” and click it.
6. Follow the furnished diagram and paste in your code.
That’s it! Your done! So easy, quick, and simple. Now, you can track sales by the exact keyword used and you can do it all by yourself.
One word of CAUTION for some of you. If you have already emailed your conversion code to the merchant, you will get double reporting if you add your conversion code to your Clickbank account. So, if you have already been tracking by keyword, you have to factor in the double reporting, or get the merchant to remove your conversion code, or start a new Clickbank account (not a problem – I have three already).
If you have any other questions about this new Clickbank tool, follow this link: Integrated Sales Reporting.
Let’s applaud Clickbank for this new tool! This sure makes it easier for me to take advantage of my internet income opportunity. I’m sure it will help you, too.

Spinning Articles To Make Your Internet Income Opportunity
One internet income opportunity that anyone can take advantage of is article marketing. Write a good article, link it to a product, publish it, and you are on your way to possibly making some extra income. You can do this on the internet at no cost. Extra cash in your pocket that costs you nothing.
I know that many of you that are reading this article are saying, “Yes, but I hate to write articles.” And, I understand that. For many of us, it is either boring, too time consuming, or outside of our skills. But, there are ways to get around this at a very low cost.
One way to take advantage of this internet income opportunity is to hire someone else to write the article. On the internet, there are many good writers in third world countries that are eagerly looking for people to write articles for. These are freelancers. It provides them a good income for where they live and provides you a unique article that you didn’t have to write. Depending upon your specified article length, the cost is generally between $5 – $15/article.
Good freelancers can be found at Elance.com, Guru.com, RentACoder.com, Scriptlance.com, and Sitepoint.com. To hire a freelancer, be sure to write a good job description. Be specific, brief, and clear. Evaluate the bids you receive and don’t be afraid to ask to see a sample of the articles they have already written. Once you have found one or two good freelancers, you can stick with them.
A second way to take advantage of this internet income opportunity is to take advantage of some of the new software on the market that will “spin” new, unique articles out of existing articles. This type of software will take articles that have already been written and completely modify them so that they are telling the same story, but with different words.
The best software of this sorts that I have seen on the market is called The Best Spinner. The Best Spinner requires you to be involved in making changes to the original article, but that’s what I like. I have seen other similar types of this software that will automatically create new articles for you, but when you read the new article, they often times don’t make much sense. Human involvement is a must.
The Best Spinner has a huge thesaurus with thousands of synonyms. It will even take word phrases and suggest changes to them. You can spin by a single word, or by full sentence, or by entire paragraph. With this software, you can generate up to 100 new articles and save them to a ZIP file or you can automatically generate one unique version and upload to your windows clipboard. The Best Spinner has made unique article creation faster than ever dreamed possible.
Article marketing has never been easier. By hiring freelancer’s or spinning articles, you can publish a lot of articles and market a lot of products. So, put some extra cash in your pockets with this internet income opportunity.
Another Marketplace To Take Advantage Of An Internet Income Opportunity
To take advantage of an internet income opportunity, most affiliates selling products and most vendors that are using affiliates to sell products that they have created, use Clickbank. Clickbank is a huge marketplace with over 12,000 informational products. It’s the largest marketplace of its’ kind. Clickbank is easy to use and it’s reliable. But, did you know that there are other marketplaces that might not be as big as Clickbank, but they are still large and just as reliable? One such marketplace is called PayDotCom.
PayDotCom also has thousands of products on its’ marketplace. But, unlike Clickbank, many of the products for sale at PayDotCom are physical in nature. And, yes, many of them are informational products as well.
For affiliates, PayDotCom is free to join. You can earn commissions from 5% to 80%. When you are ready to promote a product, you join the vendor’s affiliate program. The vendor will pay your commissions monthly either by PayPal or check. The vendor makes the decision on how he is going to pay these commissions. So, when you get ready to promote a product, pay special attention to the vendor’s payment method. If it going to be by PayPal, you will have to open a PayPal account.
For providing the marketplace, PayDotCom receives $.50 to $1.50 of the affiliates commission for each transaction that was made. This amount is determined by the selling price of the product or service. The vendor will withdraw this amount from the affiliate’s total commission and make the payment to PayDotCom so that the affiliate doesn’t have to.
Affiliates that normally promote products on Clickbank, should check the PayDotCom’s marketplace to see if the same product is being offered in both marketplaces. In the past, when I have found the same product in both marketplaces, I have found the commissions to be higher in the PayDotCom marketplace.
For vendor’s that want to sell products using PayDotCom affiliates, it’s free to sign up at PayDotCom. Now, that’s unusual! Clickbank charges vendors $30 for every product line that they list at Clickbank. At PayDotCom it’s free for the first one and after that it’s a one-time flat fee of less than $30 for an UNLIMITED number of product lines. That’s ridiculously low and if a business doesn’t want to invest $30 to take advantage of this internet income opportunity, they need to be doing something else.
Vendor’s get immediate payment with PayDotCom. At Clickbank, vendors have to wait until the affiliate has made at least 5 credit card sales. That sometimes takes a long time.
At PayDotCom, the vendor decides what kind of return policy they are going to give, if any. Clickbank requires a guaranteed 60 day money back guarantee.
Physical products can be sold on PayDotCom, not just informational. That’s right! You can sell books, tools, clothes, or informational manuals. Vendor’s are not limited to what they can sell.
If you haven’t done so, check out PayDotCom. Affiliates can find additional products to sell, sometimes with higher commissions. For vendor’s, it’s another reliable marketplace to find affiliates to sell your products without all the restrictions that Clickbank has. Affiliates and vendors both should both take advantage of this internet income opportunity.
STOP Thieves From Taking Your Internet Income Opportunity
Did you know that there are many thieves out there that will steal the commissions that you rightfully earned from promoting your own internet income opportunity? If you think about it, it’s not surprising at all that thieves would do this. Our world has far too many thieves that are willing to do just about anything.
How do these thieves steal your commissions? They find and alter many of the standard links that Clickbank and other product networks give you. They replace your affiliate ID with their own ID and when the product sells, they earn the commission. You do all the work and the thief earns the commission.
This happens mostly to new affiliates who are trying to take advantage of an internet income opportunity. Most experienced affiliates know that this is a problem and are already cloaking their affiliate links. The problem here is that many of these “cloaked” links are unsightly and potential customers are fearful of these ugly links that appear in their browser’s window. They can’t tell what site they are going to and they also possibly think it may be a virus.
There is some new software on the market that solves both of these problems. The software is called Covert Affiliate Links. This software will take take a standard affiliate link and cloak it with an impressive looking link. For example, it will take a standard Clickbank affiliate link such as “derrickv.covert.hop.clickbank.net” and turn it into “DerricVanDyke.com/recommends/covert”. Or, it will take one of Clickbanks new affiliate links (Clickbank has recently started issuing cloaked links because of the problem with internet thieves) such as “45df1m0y7sd-5tdis3×3-q8v58.hop.clickbank.net” and turn it into “DerrickVanDyke.com/recommends/covert”. This software will work for any link that any product network gives you.
These new links that this software gives you are much more impressive. Besides just looking better, your sales will increase! You will be surprised at how many sales you were losing as a result of the old links you were losing that were driving potential customers away.
This software will do even more for you and your internet income opportunity! By creating new impressive links from this software, you can manage and monitor all of your links from this software no matter which product network you got them from. You don’t have to jump around the internet to check the performance on all of your links. You can do it all from this one sight. This software allows you to store your affiliate log-in URL, username, and passwords to all of your other sites. You’ll have one-click access to all of your affiliate statistic pages.
And, one last thing that this software will do for you, and this is great! If your affiliate link takes a potential customer to a squeeze page where the potential customer has to enter their name and email address, this software will allow them to by-pass that squeeze page and it will take them directly to the sales page (or, order page). Squeeze pages are being used more-and-more by product developers as they try to build their own marketing lists. Many potential sales are lost.
If you want to stop thieves from taking your commissions and if you want to increase your sales, take a look at Derrick VanDyke’s Covert Affiliate Links. This software will boost your internet income opportunity.
