The Blogging Institute Buying And Selling Websites Using Flippa.com: What Is It And How Can It Help You Make Money? If you're interested in buying and selling websites on the internet then there are plenty of ways to go about it. You could contact individual buyers of websites you like, hoping that they're willing to sell. You can trawl through listings on forums, or keep the word out that you're looking to buy or sell through your contacts. But if you want a fast way to get into this business, then there's one place everybody turns: Flippa.com. About Flippa.com Flippa.com was launched in 2009 after migrating from a site selling section at Sitepoint. Since then it's become the number one place to buy and sell websites on the internet. In short, there is simply nowhere else that beats it in terms of how many buyers are looking for sites and how many sites are available to buy. Why Sellers Choose Flippa.com When Flippa first launched in mid-2009 their sell rate was around 35%. This meant that, out of every 100 sites put up for sale, 35 of these sites would end in a successful sale. This number has now risen to over 50 percent, and its user base has exploded - proving that many people can, and do, make a full time income selling websites through the platform. Why Buyers Choose Flippa.com Flippa also has plenty of attractive features for buyers, not least the fact that they can stay protected by paying using Escrow. On top of this, Flippa's search features have improved tremendously since they first launched. Buyers can now quickly Download Your $97 Gift >>>> Here


The Blogging Institute find the kind of sites they're looking to buy using search functions such as: * Domain-only sites, * Established websites, * New websites, * Sites earning a minimum amount, * Sites with a minimum traffic amount, * Site age, * Top level domain, * And more. Because sellers can upload traffic data directly from Google Analytics, buyers can feel safe knowing that the site they're buying is actually what the sellers claim it to be. And, when buyers feel safer, sellers have a much greater chance of selling their websites. How Much Does It Cost? As a seller, you'll need to pay a $19 fee to list your website or domain name. If it doesn't sell, you can re-list the site for half price. Sites that do sell are subject to a 5% success fee. Who pays this is down to the seller. You can either pay it all yourself, go 50-50 with your buyer, or set it so the buyer is responsible for the full amount. If you're anticipating a high sale price then you can pay $149 at the start of your auction to get the success fee waived. Flippa.com is really the best choice around when it comes to buying and selling websites. If you're thinking about getting started, just sign up for free and take a look around to get a feel for what's on offer.

The Blogging Institute Want To Sell Websites On Flippa.com? What You Should Include In Your Auction Listing If you want to sell websites on Flippa.com then a lot of your success rides on how well you put together your auction listing page. You want to make sure that it includes as much information as possible, and pushes the benefits of the website as well as the features. Here's a quick guide to some of the areas you may want to focus on. Content and Design You'll want to let your buyer know whether the content and/ or design is unique or not. In general, unique content and designs can fetch higher prices, but it's still possible to sell sites using PLR content or themes that other people use. You'll also need to mention whether the content is optimized for the search engines, how many posts or pages the website has, whether it comes with any bonus eBooks and reports, and so on. Traffic Buyers want to know exactly how much traffic your site is getting. Take advantage of all the slots Flippa gives you to input your traffic data, and follow their instructions to upload a Google Analytics report. If you don't have Google Analytics, go into your Awstats through your hosting cPanel and take a screenshot. And, if you don't have traffic, be honest! There's nothing wrong with selling new sites without traffic, they just might sell for less.

The Blogging Institute Earnings Be as honest as you can about your earnings. Again, you'll want to upload screenshots and break down earnings into areas such as where they came from, month by month, and also any expenses incurred to get those earnings. Video If you really want to go the extra mile to sell websites then recording a video tour of your site, its traffic and earnings will only work in your favor! This way, buyers are a lot more likely to trust everything you say and know that your earnings and traffic screenshots are legitimate. Bonuses Flippa.com allows you to sell websites at auction or through a Buy It Now price. If you do decide to set a Buy It Now price then you really want buyers to use it. Why? You'll generally get a good price and end your auction a lot faster! Some buyers will need a little encouragement, so offer them extra bonuses (like content or support) if they buy using the Buy It Now option. Similarly, you can offer bonuses to all buyers. For example, offering to transfer the site for free at the end of the auction goes a long way towards building trust in the mind of your buyers, and helping to make their decision to buy from you a lot easier. Other Things To Include You'll generally want to include as much information about the website as possible, such as: * Details about the niche, * Ways to monetize the niche, Download Your $97 Gift >>>> Here


The Blogging Institute * How old the site is, * Your history with the site (if appropriate), * Why you are selling (it could just be because you sell websites for a living!), * Domain name information (expiry, registrar, brandable vs keyword domain etc.), * Platform (e.g. Wordpress) and any plugins you've included, * Payment method, * What happens after the sale, * Testimonials from happy past buyers (if you have any). What To Expect From Your First Flippa Auction As A Seller Trying something new for the first time is always nervewracking, and selling on Flippa is no different. It helps to know what you're letting yourself in for before you get started, so here's a quick guide to what you can expect from your first Flippa auction. Listing Your Auction When you list your auction you'll need to have a number of details on your site ready to go. For a start, you'll enter the domain name. You'll then enter specifics such as the age of the site, the monthly traffic, the monthly revenue, whether your site is established or new, whether the content and design are unique, and so on. Flippa provides descriptions of what each field means if you get stuck. It's important to be accurate at this stage - you don't want to mislead buyers. You'll then get the chance to enter your sales text. This should promote the benefits of the site you're selling, and can include links to external pages (such as traffic screenshots or specific highlights of the site) as long as they're directly related to the auction. At the end, you may also want to link to your site where

The Blogging Institute buyers can sign up for alerts of any new auctions you list. It's well worth building an email list if possible! Once everything's ready, you'll submit your auction. Before it goes "live" on the site you'll need to verify you're the owner. To do this, simply upload a text file according to Flippa's instructions. Editing Your Auction In Progress Once your auction has started, there are limits to the way you can edit it. If you've not yet received any bids then you can pretty much edit every part of the auction, except for the domain name of the site you're selling. However, if you have received bids then you won't be able to edit the specifics or description - if you need to add information, you can add a comment. Flippa has this rule in order to protect buyers and ensure they get what they were told at the time they placed the bid. What To Do While You're Waiting For Your Site To Sell Once your auction's live you'll want to make sure you're available to answer any comments. People can either post comments publicly to your auction listing, or privately to your private message inbox. Prompt responses could help improve your chances of a sale. Certain questions may also alert you to any details you may have missed from the original auction description. Be aware that you may have to approve bids, depending on the setting you selected when creating your auction. You must accept or reject a bid within 72 hours, unless you have a Buy It Now price in place with an immediate payment requirement.

The Blogging Institute You may be a little surprised to see your auction duration extended to four hours whenever anyone places a bid within the last four hours of the auction. Although this makes it difficult to make sure you're around (and awake) in the final hours of your auction, it helps to ensure that all buyers have a good attempt at bidding on your site, and don't get outbid in the last few seconds. Once Your Auction Is Over If your auction received a bid over your reserve price then you're obligated to follow through with the sale, as is the buyer. If there are any problems you can take them up with the Flippa team, or else re-list any successful auctions if you want to try again. Good luck! Domain Flipping Using Flippa.com Flippa isn't just a place to buy and sell websites - many people have also made a lot of money selling domain names. Domain flipping means buying a domain name, whether direct from the registrar or from another seller, and selling it on at a profit. Setting Up A Domain-Only Auction Setting up a domain-only auction on Flippa is much like selling a full website. Simply select the domain option as you create the listing, and you can go on to enter further details such as the date registered, and any listing text you feel is valuable for the buyer. Specific information to include should be the domain age (aged domains are generally higher in value), whether it comes with any content, whether it has any backlinks, Google Pagerank and so on. Once you've set up the listing you'll need to pay the $19 listing fee and verify that you own that domain.

The Blogging Institute Flipping Newly Registered Domain Names There's no reasons why you can't flip domains you've only recently registered, but there are a few things you need to know before you do. When you try to sell a domain you've bought within the last 60 days, Flippa will display a "recent domain registration" warning to buyers. The reason why Flippa does this is because domain regulations state that you cannot transfer a domain name to a new registrar within 60 days of buying it. For example, if you registered the domain using Namecheap, and the buyer wanted to transfer it to GoDaddy because that's where they have all their other domains, they wouldn't be able to do that until the 60 days was up. This doesn't mean domain flipping can't be done with new domains - you can still generally transfer the new domain name to the buyer by pushing it to their account on the SAME registrar. So, if you registered it at Namecheap, they'd just have to register a free account at Namecheap for you to push it over to them. Once The Auction Is Over Domain flipping is generally a lot quicker to finalize than website flipping, thanks to the fact that all it takes is to transfer the domain name to the new owner. To do this, they will have to go through the transfer protocol of their current registrar, or simply sign up at your registrar as mentioned in the example above. Once the domain has transferred (this could take up to a week) they will have full control and ownership until the expiry date. Domain flipping can be an extremely popular endeavor once you know what to look for in a domain name! Download Your $97 Gift >>>> Here


The Blogging Institute Flipping Websites At Flippa.com - 5 Ways To Maximize Your Earnings Flipping websites can be extremely profitable in itself however, if you're looking for ways to maximize the earnings you get from every single sale then you may need to think outside the box. Here are five ways in which you can increase your earnings as a website seller. 1) Build A List One thing that anyone flipping websites should do right away is start building up a list of interested customers. Simply sign up for an autoresponder account using a service such as Aweber, and create a simple webpage where users can input their name and email address. In each new auction listing you create, include a link to this sign up webpage letting them know they'll be the first to get notified of any new deals. This can be a great way to sell future sites quicker and for higher amounts. 2) Offer Extra Services Once the site has been sold, you can offer extra services to your buyers to make money on top of flipping websites. For example, you may promote an article writing offer, or regular maintenance of the website for a set amount per hour. Not all of your buyers will be interested in these kinds of services, but this can be a great way to maximize the potential earnings of any site you sell. 3) Get Affiliate Signups When people buy websites from Flippa, the chances are they're going to need to buy a few more things along the way. For example, they're going to need website hosting, so why not ask them to buy through your affiliate link? They're not obligated to Download Your $97 Gift >>>> Here


The Blogging Institute buy, but you could offer them extra help with their website, or another bonus, if they do choose to buy. Other things you may have affiliate links for include paid plugins, SEO services, email marketing services and so on. 4) Create A Membership Site Many people who buy websites on Flippa are quite new to the world of internet marketing. If you want to help teach them the ropes then why not set up a course or membership site that takes them through everything they need to know? You could even choose to make the course free but include upsells or affiliate links to useful products. 5) Create Custom Websites If your buyer really liked your website and your style then there's a good chance they will want to buy from you again in future. Some may simply wait to see what other websites you decide to put up for auction, but others may have something more specific in mind. Why not offer a custom website creation service that you market to all of your past buyers? You can generally charge more for creating custom websites than you do for selling sites at auction. Although it might mean more work and communication with the buyer, the benefit of this service is the fact that you can guarantee a sale, something that isn't always the case when flipping websites on auction!
