Enjoy the video, and if you noticed, I’ve added random Red Cross banners on the blog.  The Red Cross was the organization that was leading the relief efforts in New Orleans during Katrina, so they’ll most likely be on the front lines of the Gustav effort.  If you can find it in your heart to give, please do so.

I’ll start us off by posting my team here.

Bryan Clark’s Dream Team - Aka Chocolate Thunda

The Flip Mafia

The A-Team

Team JustUs

Elite Ninja Flipping Unit (E.N.F.U)

So, get those comments in and I’ll get the teams posted.  If you haven’t made your $25 payment yet, you can do so below.  Remember, as per the rules of entry, team captains must make a blog post linking people back to the contest entry post.  You can use the keywords, “blog flipping” if you are feeling kind.  No team will be entered without their captain making this post!  I will be checking!  The reason for the post and the link is to spread the word so we might attract more competitors.  And the link is so that they get the CORRECT set of rules, and not something that could be lost in translation.  So captains, get on it.  I must have the money, and the blog post by, Saturday, August 30th at 11:59pm Central time!  You can pay by clicking the link on the bottom of this post!

Anti Up Suckas!

If you have no clue as to the meaning of my headline, please refer to my post about my blog flipping challenge.  Well my friends, the challenge has been accepted, and here’s how it’s going to play out.

I don’t have any free time until Friday to do this, due to prior commitments and the fact that I need 24 hours straight of work time.  So here’s the deal.  I’ll build 5 sites using Wordpress, and then attempt to sell them for as close to $1,000 as humanly possible.  I think I’ll actually go a bit over $1,000, but I did carefully word my proposition by saying that if I don’t make 1k, I’ll get pretty close.  So, for arguments sake, let’s just say I have to make $1,000 in 24 hours.  Impossible?  Maybe, but I’m pretty confident that I can do it.  It’ll be impressive no matter what happens, because the blogger that accepted the challenge doesn’t think that these will go for any more than $20 each.

So the requirements for the challenge are pretty basic, I have to use 5 domains that were registered no earlier than 24 hours before they go to auction.  So basically, I’ll be building 5 sites, from scratch and then listing them for auction within 24 hours.  Crazy?  To say the least!

I’ve never actually attempted something like this, but I have had some success with sites that were less than 24 hours old, so we’ll see how it goes.  5 sites in 24 hours though?  That’s nuts.  I have to write content, install plugins and a theme, and get them listed in such a short time, that it’s a bit more than crazy.  The sites don’t have to sell in 24 hours, that’s up to the buyers… but they do have to be listed within 24 hours. I woud go for the whole shabang and say they have to sell in 24 hours, but I’m not turning down more money by selling to the highest bidder after 24 hours, when it’s possible that I’d be leaving money on the table.  After all, this is going to be a pain in the ass, so I want as much as I can get for these sites.

What’s at stake?

  • 1 125×125 Ad in the losers sidebar for a period of no less than 3 months
  • 1 Guest post by the loser, on the winners blog.  This post should explain why they lost the bet, and if possible, offer suggestions on how they could have improved the effort.
  • Loser must write a post on their own blog admitting defeat, and explaining that they were wrong in their opinion.

Not a big loss either way right?  Yeah, just more of a fun challenge.  It’ll be fun for The Net Fool to watch, but it’s going to be a pain in the ass for me to try and work for 24 hours straight, or as long as it takes me to get 5 blogs up and running.  Wish me luck, and we’ll see you Friday.

I’ll start Friday afternoon sometime, and if you want to know the exact details of when I get started, check me out at Twitter.  I’ll post a message there moments before I start.  It’ll probably be sometime in the mid-late afternoon, as that’s when I wake up…Follow me at http://twitter.com/bryanclark.  I’ll try to hop on Twitter and keep everyone updated on my progress, assuming I’m making good time.  If I’m not, then you’ll just have to wait ’till it’s over to see the results.

These blogs are absolute gold, and they generally net you quite a high return on investment when it comes to selling them. Hope you enjoy the video, and let me know what you think!

]]> https://siteflipu.com/blog-flipping-prospecting-for-gold/feed/ This Guy Is Off His Rocker! https://siteflipu.com/this-guy-is-off-his-rocker/ https://siteflipu.com/this-guy-is-off-his-rocker/#comments Mon, 26 May 2008 17:45:20 +0000 Albert https://siteflipu.com/?p=53 I came across a trackback today to Justin Brooke’s site, Site Flip King. First off, it’s not Justin who is off his rocker. Justin made me a member at his paid membership site, Site Flip Academy, and he’s got a lot of stuff that’s pretty valuable within it’s members area. However, the last link on the page, which belongs to this guy, who has another membership site, got my attention. So I checked it out, and if his site is anything like his opening video, this guy is going to cost you more money than he makes you.

First of all, he opens the video with the bold statement “You Need To Sell Your Website”. I sell a TON of websites, but I’ll never tell you that you need to sell your site. He goes on to say that he doesn’t care if the site makes a couple of hundred dollars a month, or a couple of thousand, you need to sell.

“A site that makes a couple of thousand dollars a month can bring in 40k when you sell it.”

Guys, 40k is nice, but it’s not a lot of money. It’s easy to use the methods I teach to create an income that is worth double or triple that each year. Flipping blogs and websites isn’t hard… but it’s not passive either. It takes work on your part, finding deals, fixing up the site, building links, traffic, etc. - and your number one goal as an entrepreneur (which takes precedent over your site flipping) is to create passive income. Nobody wants to work forever, and as much as I enjoy flipping websites… it’s too much work to do until I’m 90. Would you rather be grinding it out for your next $10k sale, or sitting back on a beach in Mexico (which is beautiful by the way) while your network of sites is making you money? I know what I’d prefer. Flipping websites is a means to an end… it’s not the end by itself.

“I’ve personally bought and sold 55 websites within the past 5 years.”

And? Are you awaiting applause? I’ve done that in a good month!

Here’s the deal guys. This guy’s methods will probably make you money. But at what cost? I’m afraid that this guy’s statements, and his “take the money now, forget about the future” approach is a little too narrow-minded. His take the money now approach can be seen in the video, where he offers up the tidbit - “there is no guarantee that your blog will make the same amount in the future”. No? There’s also no guarantee that it’ll sell for the $40k, or even anywhere near it.

Just like blogging, site flipping is a volatile market. It has it’s ups and downs, and the in-betweens. It’s no safer, or more dangerous than long-term blogging as an income model.

My recommendation? Diversify. Any good entrepreneur, which if you are listening is what takes precedent over being a site flipper… doesn’t keep all of his eggs in one basket. Why would you want to count on one income stream, only to take the chance that in a volatile, and ever-changing new world (the internet), something could change and it might not be there? It’s happened before… don’t forget the dot-com bubble! I for one, could care less if one income method stopped working. I have others, and I’d quickly go out and find a way to replace it. Don’t sell yourself short… sell blogs for capital, for vacations, for living expenses… but your long term goals should be to build a network of blogs that are producing passive income. These blogs should take no work on your part… outsource everything! And site flipping gives you the means (money) to do that. Site flipping can give you a good income, but just like anything else, it’s not the way to get rich. $100,000 a year is extremely possible, even laughably easy… but $100k doesn’t last long in todays world. Get rich! Sell sites, slowly build your network… and you’ll have the last laugh.

The method I use is this… For every $10,000 I make, I start one new blog with the intention to keep. This blog is headed down passive income avenue. I’ll build it for a month or two, make sure it’s making enough to pay a writer, and when it reaches the break even point… I’ll let the writer take over, and just supervise from there. I’m now breaking even, yet building an asset that will make me money in the future… and I’ve got my site flipping income to rely on if it ever has a bad month or two. Eventually, this blog will drive past the break even point, they all do… and then I have passive income. Monthly income that I do absolutely nothing to earn. I make over $8k a month in PASSIVE income, and then you add in my site flipping revenue… I’ll retire comfortably by the time I’m 35, if I choose to do so. I’m almost 26 (in June), now.

What about the downfalls of building long-term? NONE! If a blog that I set up for passive income isn’t performing to my expectations… I SELL it! It’s what I do. Then, I’m off to create another to fill it’s place in the network.

“YOU NEED TO SELL YOUR SITE!”

… I don’t think so.
