That’s the magic question isn’t it? How do I make money flipping blogs and websites? And the answer is simple, yet complicated. It’s a simple idea… generate content, build traffic, increase statistics, sell to the next guy. It’s a pretty simple equation, yet in order to get from point A to point B, it’s an in-depth process that requires quite a bit of work on your end, although not as much work as your day job (and it pays better)!
The goal is to register a domain, or to buy a pre-existing website that is undervalued. Undervalued is the word of the day, so say it with me… U N D E R V A L U E D! Good, now we can move on. Blogs sell for a ballpark figure of 10-15x monthly income, although there are often exceptions to the rule. Such as John Cow, who is asking the ridiculously high price of 50k, and he might just get it. I don’t blame the Cow, as you can’t get a Buy-It-Now (BIN) price of 50k, without asking for it… so kudos to my favorite bovine.
So part one of the equation is to buy an undervalued blog. And it doesn’t get much more undervalued than a new domain, which has it’s benefits, and it’s drawbacks, which we’ll discuss in a later post. So essentially, you can buy a $10 domain name, slap it onto a $4 hosting account, and cash out for thousands in 30-90 days. But it’s the steps in between that are going to lose some people. Anybody can handle the beginning (finding a domain, or site) and the end (selling it), but the ones that master the middle of this process are going to be those that make the most money.
The middle steps in this process are the ones that are going to make or break your sale. These steps revolve around creating a visually appealing blog that a buyer will deem worthy of spending their money on. When I say visually appealing, I know most of you instantly thought of fancy themes, and great header graphics, but I was actually referring to statistics. Statistics sell blogs… it’s that simple. If you can’t increase the statistics of an undervalued blog, then you are going to end up selling it for zero profit, or even worse… a loss.
I’m going to be teaching you several ways to make money flipping websites over the next few months, and here are just a few of the methods that you’ll be making money with in no time flat!
- Buying Domains and/or Pre-existing Websites
- Building traffic and increasing statistics
- Increasing revenue numbers
- Writing killer sales copy that will sell your site fast
- Closing the deal
Those 5 simple things are all it’s gonna take for you to start making money flipping blogs and websites. Now, let’s roll up our sleeves, and start mastering these methods to make money flipping websites.

Yeah, this has been one of many things I have been working on. Actual launch date for this one was supposed to be June 1st, but people just started finding it… so I’m not hiding it anymore.
I don’t know that this one is going to be sold at all… although, things change, so I’m not publicly declaring that.

Oops! I thought that you were releasing it already, so I waited a few days and then I came back.

Yeah, I should. It’s no big deal though. For the most part, SFU is ready to go. I would have liked more content to launch with, but hey, it’s here… you guys are here… let’s rock!
