How To Make Money Buying and Selling Websites





The idea of buying and selling websites, otherwise known as website flipping, is becoming a very common trend on the Internet. Ideally, a less functional site is bought at a low price and later sold at a higher price after it has been tweaked and modified for better presentation and functionality.


This stems from the idea that most individuals who need a website to run their business or projects, lack the time and technical knowhow of designing one. You can take this opportunity to buy websites, fine-tune them a little and your efforts will be recovered when you sell the awesome new re-designed website. A powerful investment opportunity if you know how to flip a website properly.

The types of websites you can buy

You need to understand the types of websites available before deciding on the business of buying and selling websites. Essentially, the type of websites you may venture in will depend on a variety of factors; this may include the purpose of the website, the expected traffic, audience, structure and so on.
The most common types of websites for sale in the market include:
        Forums
        Dropship product sites
        Blogs
        Popular sales and Clickbank pages
        Clickbank ready affiliate sites
        Niche communities
        Paid membership sites
        Social networking websites

Clickbank affiliate ready websites are great and have high income potential, but this is true if you understand that specific niche. You may otherwise be required to throw in a little more effort. These sites also tend to produce high income at the start due to he launching effects, but then die off after a while.
Blogs are great, but they require extra effort to drive in traffic, unless you have a creative writer to supply constant high quality SEO content.
Community sites on the other hand are great because they don�t rely on Google or social media sites to drive in traffic. This can considerably make your venture of buying and selling websites a success story.
Niche specific or paid membership sites have proven to be lucrative as their monthly income can be maintained relatively high with some good marketing.

Considerations before website buying and selling


1. Technical know how:

If you are buying a website then you need to find out if you have the technical knowledge required to manage the website. Some sites are pretty easy to run; you may just need to update content through its content management system once in a while. Other sites may however be quite complex to handle and may require some advanced IT skills.

2. Traffic:

You need to find out how much traffic the website gets. It�s all about traffic, remember? Google analytics can come in handy for this. You can request an authentic screen shot from the person you are looking at purchasing the website from so that you can verify the websites traffic is legit.
If you are selling your website, then you can use a screen shot of your awesome flood of traffic to promote the sale of your website.

3. How much money does the website make?

Ask the owner for screenshots or video screen casts to verify the weekly or monthly income of the website. Some months may be better than others in certain niches, so you want to see a graph of their performance report as far back as possible. Just in case they are only showing you a visual of a miracle month of income, which a number of websites have from time to time.

4. Is the website established?

You need to verify that the website you are about to buy has solid roots, otherwise the income and the traffic may vanish after a few months. You can do this by checking the number of pages Google has indexed so far, age of the domain name, traffic and revenue income history and number of back links that point back to the website.

5. Does the Website have a good promotional system in place?

Once you create content for your website you want other people to share it also right? Well you need to make sure that the website you are considering purchasing has a Twitter, Facebook,LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram account etc� The Social Media accounts don�t have to have a strong following, (although that will give you a great knee up to drive traffic), but they at least have to have the websites full name included in the username so that you are accepted officially through these social network platforms by visitors and viewers.

Where to buy or sell websites

There are a number of websites on the Internet where listings of sites for sale are maintained. These websites can be used for website buyers and website sellers. Most sites require that you bid on the listings and the seller will choose on the best bid, kind of like eBay.
You need also to consider several factors on such websites such as security as well as the fees charged. You might also be required to develop a reputation on such sites to be more successful at bids.
The most common and reliable market places for buying and selling websites are Digital point and Flippa. You may find some other smaller ones when you search on Google, but these two websites have so far gained the most trust and reputation.
Most of these sites are convenient when it comes to buying and selling websites. Some sites like Flippa may however charge up to 5% transaction fees, but this should not be an obstacle if you have found a potential site to buy.
You may also opt to go to website owners directly, if there is some way of contacting them. Some owners even announce the sale of the site or domain name on their platforms. This might be a viable option considering that sites that rank highly for certain keywords may be relatively expensive in the marketplaces.
If you have trouble tracking down the owner of the website you can always head over to whois.com and run a search on their websites domain address. Most sites will come up with the webmasters email address and this is usually a good way to reach out to the website owner.

How much should you offer when buying or selling a website?

You should first keep in mind that a website is generally valued by how much revenue the site is generating at the present. For transaction purposes, do not allow the website owner to value the website based on foreseen �potential�. This is because if such potential existed, they would not be selling it in the first place. The following three other means should assist you in finding the value of an existing website.

Website Valuator Sites
There are a number of websites out there that can determine the site�s value, but this is not always reliable and should only be a rough estimate of the true value. What a number of people do is, they will visit 5-6 websites that value your desired site and then you average the total value that the 5-6 sites equate to.

Value by Comparison
Another way to value a website is to compare it to a number of sites in that niche or field and see what other similar sites have sold for in the past or are currently priced at on the market.

Website�s intrinsic value
This is how much you get when you break down the components of the website. Look at the key traits of the site, applications, programs, design, social media following, mail subscriptions.

How to improve your site before selling

There are thousands of ways in which you can improve on your purchased website before selling it at a profit. Such value addition practices include:

Design: you can make the website to be a little more eye-catching by changing style, colour theme and even fonts. There are various templates that can do this for you to make the process a little less involving. If you are running a blog through wordpress then google �wordpress themes� and download some to play around with for a better layout or style. 
Add content: You can also add some rich SEO content to increase the visibility of the website and improve ranking on search engines. This is especially useful for niche specific websites. SEO, stands for Search Engine Optimization and is highly convenient and very rewarding to understand if you are interested in mastering the art of �increasing your organic website traffic�.
Rethink your hosting: you may want to move your newly acquired website to a more reliable hosting company that runs at least 99% of the time. A number of sites guarantee a 99% up time, and are more reliable with a lot better support in case you have any technical issues.
One thing I have learnt through running Addicted2Success.com is that it is highly important to have a fast enough Dedicated Server with enough CPU, Storage & RAM to manage the high amount of traffic during peak times. It may cost around $100 or more per month for a dedicated server but at least your site wont crash and your page loads are a lot quicker, resulting in better google rankings, which is something any serious website owner should strive for.
Add some personality: A personalized site draws in more of an audience and ensures a steady supply of traffic as people feel more like you�re their friend than some corporation or robot run business that they go to from time to time.
You may want to also brand you domain name, add a logo, open forums, throw in a bit of your personal experience, create a bio or any other way that connects you with the audience and builds more of a friendly rapport.
Others: Depending on the type and purpose of the site, you may add applications, plug-ins, change the structure/site map, link to social sites and more.

Selling your website

As mentioned earlier, there are websites that act as marketplaces for buying and selling websites. You can list your websites here after you have done all the necessary improvements and wait to select on potential bidders.
Similarly, you can set aside a space on the website for an announcement that shows the website is for sale. This might be a slower process but it puts you in control of the transaction and pricing. Better still, you can set aside a small website specifically for the purpose of your website buying or selling activities especially if you are an established figure in the website flipping business with several websites on the line.
One more thing, do not overprice your websites. Always make sure you sell at the true value and this will cultivate more happy returning clients in your venture of buying and selling websites.
We hope this gives you enough information to buy and sell websites successfully, best of luck

5 Tips for Using Windows 8.1 Like a Boss

Windows 8.1 has been one of the most-maligned operating systems in recent memory, and, in my opinion, much of what’s been written about it has been misguided, unfair, and just plain wrong.

The piling-on Microsoft has experienced in the rollout of its new operating system just goes to illustrate the weakness of the technology journlism field. As a tech journalist, I have some advice for tech fans: Don’t rely blindly on tech journalists�try it for yourself! Most tech journalists are concerned with one thing: getting lots of page views. And they know that one sure-fire technique is to take a scathing, negative attitude. I even recently saw a tip-list article telling tech journalists how to up their page views, one of which was simply “Be negative.” I would link the article, but its title doesn’t meet PCMag’s family-friendly standards.

The number-one whipping boy for this sort of click-bait negativity is Microsoft. Perhaps it’s payback for the company’s 90s-era monopolistic shenanigans or for some of its technology misfires�Vista, the Kin phone, the Zune…the list goes on, admittedly. But it’s clear to me that the even slickest, best executed, most technologically brilliant, most cost effective product, software, or service, if associated with the name “Microsoft,” would still manage to find an army of detractors.
Another factor is that the press exaggerates everything. New York wasn’t as dangerous in the 90s as the then mass media would have the world believe: I lived there for the entire decade, riding the subway at all times, and was the victim of just a single failed attempt at pickpocketing during that whole supposedly scary era. The press is an echo chamber that magnifies everything, especially when there’s fear involved. And what could be scarier for computer users than an OS paradigm shift?
Which brings me to Windows 8. With its latest operating system, Microsoft has tried to do something that hasn’t been done before�create hybrid system software that’s equally at home on a tablet as a desktop or laptop PC. And doesn’t that make sense? If you could have just one device, a powerful tablet that could do absolutely everything that a desktop computer could, wouldn’t you want that?
Again, despite everything you’ve heard, Windows 8 is not hard to use�once you’ve got just a few new habits under your belt. Here’s my cheat sheet on how to run Windows 8 and 8.1 like a boss, so that you’ll never want to look back to Windows 7 or, gasp, the more-than-a-decade-old XP. All this is not to say that you will feel instantly at home with Windows 8, so don’t expect to race around it the first time you try it. But after some exploration and familiarization, you may just find that it offers a superior computing experience.
1. Think of the tiled Start page as a full-screen Start button. Because that’s exactly what it is. Just as with the old Start button, you can simply start typing to show programs that begin with the letters you type, and launch them without having to scroll across tile screens. You can customize this page to your heart’s content, grouping tiles and placing your most frequently used ones on the first page. Finally, know that tiles are not just for new-style full-screen mobile apps: Any standard Windows desktop application you’ve been using for years can also get a tile that you can place wherever you like on the Start page for easy access.
2. The Desktop is a Tile. If you worry that you want Windows to keep looking and working like Windows 7, just tap that tile on the Start screen labeled “Desktop.” You’ll right away feel at home. And there are always numerous was to quickly get back to the Start screen from anything you’re doing on a Windows 8.1 PC: The easiest are to just move the cursor to the lower-left corner of the screen, where the new-style Start button will appear, or tap the Windows key. If your comfort level demands it, Windows 8.1 lets you boot right to the desktop, through Control Panel’s Taskbar and Navigation Properties dialog. There you’ll also find a choice (also new in 8.1) to use the same background for Start as for the desktop.

3. Find its Charms. No matter what you’re doing on a Windows 8.1 system, you can always get to the Charms�a menu rail of buttons along the right site of the screen for major system actions like Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings. Just move the cursor to the top right corner and then down. (or swipe in from the right on a touch screen). One of the “adjustments” in using Windows 8.1 is that new-style apps generally use these charms�and not their own menus�for settings, search, and sharing to email or social networks. The Settings Charm is also where you’ll find the Power options, including those for shutting down and restarting.

4. Use the App Bars. No this isn’t where you get free appetizers: The app bar is a feature of just about every new-style Windows 8.1 app. To invoke it, you just right-click on the app’s screen in a mouse-and-keyboard situation, and swipe up from the bottom of the screen or down from the top on a touch tablet. Once you do this, you’ll reveal the app’s functions and options. For example, opening the app bar for Adobe’s new Revel for Windows 8 app, you’ll see buttons for Sharing the photo to Facebook, adding it to an album, or editing it.

5. Keyboard shortcuts still work. Most of Windows’ time-tested keyboard shortcuts work just as they always have: Alt-Tab to switch you among open applications, F5 refreshes the active window, Alt-F4 closes the current app, and so on. But the Windows Key is the mother of many new, useful shortcuts. Make friends with the Windows key, and you will sprint through the OS. Just tapping it switches you between your current app and the Start screen, Windows key-D takes you to the desktop, Windows key-F opens Find, and�a very handy safety tip�Windows key-L returns the PC to the lock screen.
A full list of Windows 8.1 shortcuts is on this support page. One key combo most people may want to avoid, however, is Windows key-Enter, which starts the Narrator reading everything on screen endlessly; stopping this requires the not-very-intuitive Caps+Esc key combo. The screenshot here shows just a small sampling of these Windows-key shortcuts.

MONEYPAK:-SEND-MONEY-TO-PAYPAL-WITHOUT-BANK-ACCOUNT


PayPal is the largest payment gateway in the world, and millions of people are using it to send and receive money. But PayPal needs you to have a credit card, or at least a bank account for you to add money to your PayPal account and then transfer or spend it. If you don’t have a bank account or a credit card, then you can still add funds to PayPal using GreenDot MoneyPak.
With it, you can either load money to an issued PrePaid card, or add money directly into your PayPal account without getting into the hassle of bank transfers and what not. It is perhaps the only way to add money without a bank account.



What is MoneyPak?

MoneyPak is a great and efficient financial service that lets you use load your PayPal account with money with live cash. Originally, it was intended for GreenDot issued PrePaid cards, which work just like Payza PrePaid or any other PrePaid cards. You could buy a MoneyPak, and add it directly to the PrePaid card, which could then be used to make purchases or transfer money to another card. Adding money to PayPal works the same way.
MoneyPak is a convenient way of adding funds to PayPal. You don’t need to have a bank account or a credit card. There are no bank fees or Credit Card interest charges. This is the only way you can add funds to PayPal without a bank account. And once you’ve added the money, you can transfer or use it instantly!

How to add money to PayPal?

It is quite simple really. You first have to buy a MoneyPak. You can buy this in the U.S or abroad from any major retailer such as Walmart, Walgreens, CVS/pharmacy, Rite Aid, Kmart, 7-Eleven, Kroger and Meije etc. You buy this with live money, so no credit card or bank transfer hassle. It’s your choice on how much money you want to put into the MoneyPak, which you then pay at the counter.
Once purchased, simply log on to your PayPal account, and click on Add Money. Select the MoneyPak option from there, and add the required information. You may first need to provide your name, address, date of birth and Social Security Number so that you can be verified by GreenDot. You can then add your purchased MoneyPak into your PayPal account, and the money will be transferred almost instantly.
Here’s a video explaining the process.


Fees and limits

You can put any amount of money into a MoneyPak ranging from $20 to $500. At Walmart, you can add up-to $1,000. Each MoneyPak has its own convenience fee of $4.95. For security reasons, PayPal restricts the amount you can add through MoneyPaks to $4,000 per month. There are no other hidden charges for adding funds into PayPal.
Unfortunately, MoneyPak is only available in places where there is a partner retail store. You can check whether it’s available in your area by visiting the MoneyPak Store Locator.
Once your money is transferred from your MoneyPak to PayPal, it will instantly be added to your PayPal account balance. You can then check your PayPal balance to see for yourself that the money has arrived. Now you can spend your money anywhere PayPal is accepted, including ebay!
