Selling Websites - A Quick Way to Make Money Online

September 10th, 2007 by Vincent Abrugar

I have been making a living online since 2003 and in my experience, selling websites is a fast way to make money online.

If you possess basic webmaster skills like html and installing scripts, you can start creating websites for the purpose of selling it for quick profit.

Here are sample ways on how to do it:

Find A Profitable Niche

Lurk into forums like Sitepoint and Digitalpoint and try observe what kind of websites are selling like hotcakes. Some examples are Health Sites, Finance Sites, and Gaming Sites.

Building the Website

1. Get A hosting account preferrably a reseller account. You can get a good deal at Reseller Zoom.

2. Find a good domain for your website. You can use a good domain name suggestion tool at http://domain-suggestions.domaintools.com

2. Assuming you choose to create a health content site, you need to find a cms that can quickly build a complete website. You can use simple article management script for only $37 you can build a lot of sites with it. You can also use free templates available online and manually edit it using MS FrontPage or any html editor.

3. To create contents for your website you can write it yourself or you can buy Private Label Rights Articles. A good source for articles for sale is the Warrior Forum.

Creating the website will be easy when you already have the contents, just install the cms script and dump the articles to the script, viola! you have a content site.

Of course you also need to make sure your site looks professional, so a little bit of graphics editing would do nice for your site.

 When you think your website is now ready for sale, just head to Digitalpoint or Sitepoint and post it for sale.

In my experience Sitepoint can bring lots of traffic to your listing but you have to pay to post on the marketplace unlike Digitalpoint which is free.

 A lot of interested buyers will contact you after you posted your listing, be ready to answer there questions. To save your time just put necessary details on your listing to reduce the questions from prospected buyers.

When you already have a buyer, you can use paypal to accept payments.

Start creating websites today and sell it for profit.

    I enjoyed reading this. One issue that is important that you didn’t mention is the traffic issue. I believe websites that have a lot of traffics would be a lot easier to sell than new websites with zero traffics and which may not even be indexed for months. Therefore I believe it is better to buy and then sell a website that is already indexed and has a traffic record than to build a website from scratch with the intention to sell it.

    to the previous commenter;
    Traffic is not an issue when selling Turnkey Sites (new ones) and the selling price is lower as compared to selling established sites that can go for thousands of dollars.
