Anyone doing site flipping as full time work here in 2025 ?

Are you talking about starter websites to be sold on Flippa for some hundreds of dollars?
 
I was doing website flipping back in 2016, and earned quite a bit of money, but I believe nobody is doing this as a full-time job these days.
But I may be wrong

Purely My Opinion: Website flipping has declined due to increased competition, lower profit margins, and the complexity of modern SEO and digital marketing. Many now prefer more stable online ventures or face challenges in quickly scaling and selling websites profitably.
 
Not now but it was one of my main source of income before. Here is how to do it in 2025:

Start by niching down brutally, think "bespoke dog beds for Great Danes" not "pet products." Build real user engagement before monetizing: grow an email list, foster a micro-community, and leverage UGC (user reviews, photos). Try tools like Motion.ai for SEO content structure and X (Twitter) for stealth traffic leaks. Flip sites you’d use. If it solves a tangible problem, buyers pay premiums. Margins are tighter, but look at it like product development, not content farming. Finally, always exit before major Google updates. Your Spidey-sense > stale analytics.

On which platform, you were selling?

Yes, there are scams on Flippa, the same as all other online (or even offline) marketplaces. There are several things you can do when selling on Flippa.
Always perform thorough due diligence. Check out the seller's history and reviews, verify traffic and financial claims using third-party tools like Google Analytics or financial statements (ask for proof!), and be wary of deals that seem unrealistically good. Insist on using Flippa's secure Escrow service for payment and never pay outside the platform. And ask detailed questions about the business operations and traffic sources, and consider professional help for verification if needed. Finally, trust your instincts; if something feels off, walk away.
 
Yes, Flippa is full of scams, but it's still the king for site flipping. The only decent alternatives are for large websites. Unfortunately there are no relevant alternatives for starter websites, which is sad.
 
unless the site generates revenue or has good organic traffic, most buyers aren't interested. It's easier to get an aged domain and build a site but what matters is the traffic/revenue
 
I think you should chose a broker based on your website quality, if it's generating above 10 grand, chose empireflipper as they have a good network.

If it's a website earning about 1k to 5k, flippa is the top one.

Below this revenue, I will say wait until it reaches a good level to help you with some good money my friend.
 
I have sold plenty of websites in the past and based on that here's a few ideas.

If your site is getting consistent profits, month after month, and the profit - which ever way it is coming - it must continue so that the new owner can make money, then these platforms can easily get your site sold.

If your site makes $20 a month, let's say from adsense and you are making this kind of money for the past 2 to 3 years - then it is a proven track record for the site. This way you can sell your site anywhere from $120 to $200 easily.
