Flipping Q&A - ask me whatever you like :)

I've been trying to get an answer to this for the longest - what do you or anyone here know about flipping High PR Web Directories? I can get a High RP domain, but what I don't know is how to drive the traffic to where I can get links submitted, free or paid.

There's a guy on Flippa who does quite well doing this. Can't remember his username but I'm sure you would find him.

What he does is gets a high PR domain, installs a directory, drives traffic to it and then flips when the Alexa rank drops below 100k.

I'd suggest finding his auctions, looking at the Google Analytics stats and figuring out where he gets his traffic from.

meathead :) I'm not trying to hijack your thread.


I've had a client who actually wanted me to sell his directory, it was actually PR N/A and it had gotten about 7,000 links in the 1st month, with 1,500 UV in the 1st month, and it got sold for 150 USD, the alexa went under 100k , I'm not sure how he got that much links, but what I know is that he received a total of 1,500 UV in the 1st month and all the visitors were from directories. (mainly from 3-5)
 
Meathead, can you critique my failing listing?
Code:

please give any advice you can, I don't get why it's a total fail.

I think there's a BST thread here for it. Look for 'Killer Flipping Secrets' and you should find it. If not, go to killerflippingsecrets.com. The regular sales page price is more expensive than the one listed here on BHW though so try to find it here if you can.
 
Hi guys I just want to ask some PRO site flipper here. For example I want to sell a WP e-commerce site that is based on amazon products ie (laptops). Lets say I will use WP robot to import amazon products directly to my blog. And what I want to know is how to mass edit my amazon aff links to the future (owner) of the blog?

Thanks Guys
 
If you are still answering this thread I have a question for yourself,

outsourcing, what can we outsource. Any recommendations/suggestions are appreciated. I have 1000's to play with and want to do a "fun" project.

Thanks
 
I'm very busy at the moment with various business and personal related issues but that won't stop me checking by this thread to help you all out.
 
To add a little to my question, I've never delved into flipping so just want to know more about the outsourcing part of things.

You can outsource pretty much anything. The best thing to do is outsource the tasks that you don't like doing yourself and that others can do better/cheaper than you can.

For example, if it takes you an hour to write 1 article because you're not good at writing, and you can find someone to write you an article for $5, then it's much more effective to have someone else write your articles because your time is probably worth much more than $5 per hour.

Just start with smaller tasks like article writing or link building and go from there. If there's a certain task you enjoy doing, do those yourself if you want.
 
Hey Meat I have a question for you. I have read pretty much everything I can find in the making money section. I want to know whats the best advice for getting started. I am a noob, but I have a the ability to learn. I have a bachelor degree in Computer Science and I've done web design for the last few years.uess my question is how do I find a site or keywords that are a good starting point.
 
I was wondering if someone has an easy breakdown of questions people ask and a template that has proven to work. I am probably going to develop one if I don't find a good one.

1. can you sell sites with premium themes and plugins DLed online. (If i was successful in my listings id prob but em anyway)
2. I think i saw you mention sending the buyer the site in a disk as a precaution do you have others ways to make sure you dont get ripped off?
3. Do you recommend escrow for niche sites that i am looking to sell for under 400?

You will want to send him the entire site folder which you download off your FTP server, and the database for the site if it's a Wordpress blog.

So if your site is cars.com, you would log into your FTP client, find the cars.com folder, download it to your computer, and send that whole folder to the buyer.

Then if it's a Wordpress site, you find the corresponding database in PHP My Admin which is in your cpanel, export that, and send it to the buyer.

Here's an article on how to do all of that (this article assumes it's a Wordpress site): http://www.bloggingtip.net/the-way-i-transfer-my-wordpress-blog-to-another-host/

If it's just html then it's even easier as all you need is the folder.
 
Is there any materials you guys can recommend for buyers, like tutorials on DD? I mean expensive sites with earnings claimed

thnx
