5 Steps to Make Money with Site Flipping
I just flipped my first 6 websites. It was a learning experience, but I’m happy to report that I made about $300. Now, I’m going to tell you how you can, too.

Before I even get to the quick list of 5 sets to make money online with site flipping, I must say, most of what I did to make this money was done via helpful information I discovered through many successful site flipper blogs and ebooks. I spent more time learning than I did “doing”. I strongly suggest you do as I say, and not as I do, lest you find yourself spending a week simply researching and finding out how OTHER PEOPLE are making money, all the while never doing anything to make money for yourself. In other words:
DO WORK! This isn’t a joke. There’s a enough free information out there to get you started with making some money online site flipping. However, you don’t have to read ALL of it to do it! I almost garuntee you that with what you read from my blog today, you will be able to immediately put it to work, and be on your way to making money.
Anyway, here’s the list:
1. SEO Domain - Research the keywords you’re going to build your site around BEFORE you even register the domain. Find a good long-tail (3 or 4 words) keyword that gets about about 300-400 searches a day (use http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/). Use that keyword as your domain. Also, if the .COM is available for that keyword, that’s a huge plus. If not, go with a .NET or .ORG.
2. Stick wordpress on the site, put up a quality free theme (and edit the colors to make it more unique, if you’re comfortable with that sort of thing). Make the homepage link to a static page rather than a blog.
3. Write 3-5 Articles about 300-500 words each on the specific niche you built the website around. Create a page in wordpress for each article. There you have it! Your very own mini-site. Make sure it’s SEO-optimized by being keyword-rich. You can find good articles in google about keyword-optimization, but it’s really pretty self-explanatory. Make sure the one keyword you want to target appears anywhere from 2-3% of the time in your article. There are many free tools you can find with a google search and can calculate your keyword density for your keywords. This is a MUST COMPLETE step.
4. Monetize: Simple enough. Throw some AdSense on your site, and any other Ad Network you’d like to include. Join some CPA networks like NeverblueAds and MarketLeverage, and find some affiliate offers that relate to your niche and pay you on each conversion. Your revenue streams dictate how much you will sell your site for.
5. Submit to Social Bookmarking directories: I payed a guy to do this for me. He submitted my link to 100 social bookmarking sites for a measly $6. This almost instantly got my site indexed in google, and within a week I was seeing decent organic and unique traffic from search engines. Of course, you don’t have to pay someone to do this for you. Do it yourself by submitting your site to stumbleupon, digg, etc…
Obviously, there’s a lot more to site flipping. Don’t do these 5 steps and consider yourself done. During the flip, whether its a month long or a week long, keep working on it. Keep pushing traffic via social bookmarking submissions, article submissions, etc… Don’t ever stop getting traffic to your site. The more traffic that converts into revenue, the greater the lump sum will be for selling your site!
I will write more on the subject of site flipping for making money online in later posts. I apologize for my long absence and I hope this little post will be compensation for the time I was away.
