Site Flipping University

I’m going to be away for the weekend, so I thought it would be a great time to offer up my wonderful course, The Blog Flipping Blueprint for only $97 while I’m gone.  I’m offering this for the next 20 members only, or until the weekend ends… which ever comes first!

If you missed out last time we had the course offered for $97, don’t let it happen again!  It’ll go back to it’s normal price of $147 on MONDAY!  Affiliates, it’s a great time to make a push for the discounted price!  You wan’t that iPod don’t you?

We now have 38 lessons (and lots more to come), 2 FULL blueprints, and a great forum with over 60 active members.  That’s not to mention the bonuses, which are numerous.  Get in while you still can!

This is your LAST CHANCE to get in for only $97.  The price will go back to $147 on Monday, or after the next 20 members sign up.  Don’t miss out, you won’t see this price again!

As promised, I sent out my first iPod this week to Ben Cope.  Ben made 10 affiliate sales, and was the first winner in my iPod giveaway.  The promotion is ongoing, so if any of you get to 10 sales… you’ll get your affiliate commission, and a free iPod touch.

Ben was the first to get the iPod, but hopefully he won’t be the last.  I’ve got a few others that are close, so hopefully you’ll get there before the month is out!  10 sales the first month = 1 free iPod touch!  Not a bad deal right?  Here is Ben with his new iPod!

Warning:  If you don’t like rant posts, you might want to check out another blog.

I don’t even know how to put into words what I’m feeling at the moment.  I guess I could call it disappointment, but I suppose it’s more than that.  I’ve had two refund requests for Blog Flipping Blueprint today (my first two), and I suppose out of the 100+ members we have, it’s not a bad percentage (industry average is around 3-5%, so I’m well under that).  But what aggravates me the most about these people is that they are so short sighted.  They’d rather recoup a $97 investment, than to actually TRY one or two of the methods offered inside.  The sad part is, they could recoup their investment, plus some, in just a few hours if they’d get off their butts and do something about it. Anyone remember the 24 hour challenge?  $147?  pffft… I made $1,600 in ONE DAY with that method.

Don’t get me wrong.  I appreciate 99% of my members, and they are wonderful… sharing info on the forums, posting success stories, answering each others questions… but there is that 1% that really irks me.  One of the greatest tools I offer on Blog Flipping Blueprint is the forums… you have me, 2 other mentors, and all the members that like to read, and learn from the questions you ask.  Out of 100+ members, how many have actually signed up for a FREE username at the forums?  Less than half.  Are you kidding me?

BOTH of the refunds today have logged into Blog Flipping Blueprint ONE time (no, not each… ONCE between the two of them).  Tell me that they were there to make money.  That’s like me giving Romeo and Juliet a once over and then saying I think I’ll exchange it for the next issue of Playboy. I’m getting great feedback from the members that are actually there to learn.  I guess others are wanting a magic button to push that makes it rain cash.

What makes someone think they CAN’T do something, before they’ve tried it?  I’ve never been that way, and I pity those that are.  I’m quite the opposite, I’ll always assume I CAN, until proven otherwise.  The make money online niche has become full of a bunch of whiney noobs wondering why they can’t make money online.  The reason?  You suck!  You aren’t willing to take advice,  you can’t handle criticism, and a new method?  Oh no… not for me… looks scary.

I’ve made $160,000 in front of your very eyes this year.  Is that not enough to make you think that it’s possible?  Do you really think I blog about site flipping for my health?  I’m trying to help… and until some of you out there are ready to open your mind, and think outside the box… I hope you are content with the $60 a month you earn currently.

The sad truth is, this is becoming less and less about money for me.  I’ve made more than my fair share, and I’ve been very fortunate.  I feel like it’s time to pass the torch to those that are willing to take it rather than wondering if it’s worthwhile.  That’s the difference between those that are going to make it and those that aren’t.  The successful will jump on an opportunity, while the others will wait and think about it to make sure that it’s the right opportunity.  By the time they decide, it’s passed them by.  I don’t need people like this in my site.  I don’t need your money, and I don’t want you bringing down my members that are already succeeding just a week into the lessons.  I’ve had several members make their first $500 the very first week of this course, and we’re just getting started.

Regardless of what happens, my members are going to continue to get quality posts day after day.  And if you think that I want your money bad enough for you to bring others down around you… think again.  I only want people that want to succeed, and are willing to step outside their comfort zone to do it.   Let me repeat that… I ONLY WANT THOSE THAT WANT TO SUCCEED.  If you don’t fall into that category, don’t even visit the landing page, you aren’t what I want.

This might have turned into a rant post, but that’s not entirely my intention.  I know that my readers here at Site Flip U are some of the smartest, friendliest, and most talented bloggers in the world.  Most of you are outside the box thinkers, and that’s going to take you FAR.  I’ve never owned a blog where the comments alone are enough to teach a newbie a thing or two about making money online.  I’d venture to say that the readers at Site Flip U are more intelligent, ambitious, and goal oriented than just about anyone I run into online.  I have no doubts about you guys, you all have more potential in one finger, than some of these people have in their entire bodies.  My challenge to you, is to not end up like these guys.  Don’t cast something off until you try it.  Don’t fall into the trap of only doing what you know.  Remember, the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward… and don’t we all want big rewards?  Step outside your comfort level and allow yourselves to be great.  You are the only one that can.

I’m asked all the time how I’m able to decide which niches are worth of building sites on.  Which ones will sell for a lot, and which niches to avoid.  It’s quite a simple answer, and I’m going to share it with you here.  I go in depth in my membership site, and I just created a video about the topic today… but I’ve got some simple solutions that you can use right now to decide what’s profitable, and what’s not worth your time.  So here we go.

Choosing a niche is all about finding something that’s profitable to sell.  Leave your own feelings out of it, they don’t have anything to do with what’s profitable.  You have been told since you started blogging to write about a topic that you love, well, now I’m telling you to throw that information out the window.  You no longer care to write about your favorite topic, now it’s time to find topics that are relevant for others, and profitable too!

I can simplify niche research into one simple question.  What have you been hearing about?  If you’ve been hearing about it, it’s almost guaranteed to be profitable enough to create a flipper site about.  Some great starting points, green/environmental issues, the election, gas mileage, etc.  These are topics you hear about every single day, and that’s most of what you need to be successful in choosing a niche.

People tend to make things a lot more complicated than they are.  If you are hearing about it, it’s profitable enough to sell.  It’s that simple.

Now, where do you go for ideas?  I recommend magazines.com.  This is a great resource that shows not only the worlds most popular magazines, but also features dozens or even hundreds of smaller, niche-type magazines.  If you are looking for an idea, you can’t go wrong by browsing these pages.  Remember, if someone is printing a magazine about it, that means there are readers interested in buying it.  If there weren’t, the magazine wouldn’t be in business long.  Anything that has a magazine topic, is generally ok to sell.  Need ideas?  Browse that site, and you’ll have tons!

Hello to everyone and happy Saturday.  I wanted to share some tidbits with you right here before I took the rest of the day off.

First of all, Blog Flipping Blueprint has increased it’s admission price to $147, as promised.  From here on out, $97 is history, and the current fee will be the only way in… except for promotions, etc. should I decide to run them.

Secondly, I’ve received quite a few emails about our blog flipping contest.  A few of the teams are having problems with their members, only a couple of you ever got back to me when I asked for your contest blog URL, and I’ve received almost no response when I’ve made inquiries.  So, that said, on Monday I’ll be refunding everyones entry fee and you can sell your contest blog on your own terms.  This contest was supposed to be a learning experience, and we were supposed to share our URL’s so that others could watch our progress.  I’ve received little to no effort, and it feels like I’m baby sitting rather than overseeing this contest.  So, that said, the contest is officially over, with no winner.  Sell your blogs, make some profit, and if you enter one of my contests in the future… try to be a bit more accomodating so that it’s easier to track and update.

Make sure you email your team captain, or whoever made the payment.  If you all pitched in, you’ll have a refund coming from them.

Sorry guys, as most of you know I just launched a product, and I’m responsible for promoting it.  I am going to be a featured guest on a teleseminar tonight, so unfortunately this is probably going to overlap the start time of my Site Flipping Weekly show, but I already gave my commitment so I have to be there.  Instead of pushing the show back and making you all stay up past your bed times, we’re going to do it tomorrow at 9pm EST. Hope to see everyone there, and make sure to bring some good questions!  Sorry for any inconvenience, but to make up for it I promise to give you a great tip on the show that will make you some quick cash.  Easy money, that’s worth a days wait right?

Everyone enjoy their night, and we’ll see you tomorrow!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that you can join me right here at 9pm eastern standard time for Site Flipping Weekly.  My weekly ustream show will be broadcast right here from Site Flip U.  Hope to see you there

Open?  Are all of you scratching your head?  Yeah, I know I’ve led on that The Blog Flipping Blueprint was going to be a product, but it’s in fact a membership site.  A ONE-TIME PAYMENT membership site.  No more worrying about ridiculous recurring charges every month.  Take your time and learn as you go.

Now remember, this is a membership site so the content will grow with time.  That’s not to say that we don’t have great content to launch.  How great is it?  Let’s see what’s inside….

• At least 3 methods that you can use to make $100 a day flipping sites, starting now!

I could go on forever, but if you haven’t got the idea by now, you never will.  Get in today while it’s at the discounted price of $97.  October 3rd, we’re raising the prices to $147.

Sign up by clicking the banner below.  What are you waiting for, you know you want it!

I didn’t forget about affiliates either.  If you want to make 30% of every sale, plus have the chance to win some great prizes, sign up for my affiliate program.  Remember, anyone that has 10 sales during month one, gets an iPod touch on top of their commission!

I wanted to get a quick post out and give all of you an update on the pending release of my Blog Flipping Blueprint.  Everything is on schedule, and with any luck we’ll go ahead and do the release on Wednesday.  I’ve also got a great affiliate program set up, and I wanted to let you guys know about that.

The affiliate program pays 30%, so that’s $44 on the normal price of $147.  I’m releasing the affiliate program 48 hours after the site launches, and after that you guys can go to town.

Here’s the exciting part.  The affiliate program not only makes you money, but it’s also a great way to win some wonderful prizes from yours truly.  I’m kicking this thing off in style, and I want to make sure to reward my affiliates.

Each person to get 10 sales in month one will get a free iPod!  I also have cold hard cash for my top affiliate.  How much?  We’ll see how well you do
