I know that making own sites is cheaper than buying established ones, but I tried to make my own site, spent 250$ and get 1 visitor per day from Google. So I decided to start flipping.
I have found a nice site with 80 written articles and 3-5 visitors per day for 200$ but I'm not sure if it's OK to buy it. Or would it be better to find a site with income for 300-600$ and develop it?
Sincerely
Newbie here - so just trying to break this down a bit.
So, you know someone with a site, that has some decent content, and no traffic, but would sell cheap...so you are considering. And, you want to know if it is worth it, to flip I assume...now or later possibly, and I am assuming that all depends on if you get the site...how long it takes to see an increase in traffic, which is quantifiable as (traffic + relevance = potential market reach) it relates to an increased valuation to prospective buyers.
Furthermore, you are also wondering if you should spend more, to get something more established... Assuming the former assumptions are true, then as I believe stated before in your thread - something that is modular to your day to day activities in which you generate revenue already.
-----------------------------------
If that describes what this thread is really about, then here is my opinion. 1) a one to five visitor a day site with 80 articles isn't worth the renewal fee to icann IMO 2) if you are willing to find something at 150 -200% more out there that may have more of traits you are looking for, I still believe the root issue isn't being solved. So, take a few hundred bucks, find a nice 6 or 7 letter - brandable - .COM - hot of the expired list, find a way to market it, then build up the content, and the SEO to match, vapor some social buzz, write a couple sponsored op-eds (or have someone on Fivr do it for you).....then, and most importantly, spend the 100 bucks on google adwords (when ready) bidding super low on relevant-ish keywords so you are just getting scraped on adsense sites all day since your budget is great, but PPC budget too low - run out the month, and there you go... You'll go from zero to a couple thousand linked back results in google search before your 100 bucks runs out which you should see 3 - 6 months of bloated relevancy in exchange for it.
Then go flip a site for up to 5 times your buddies, more than likely....POS.
