Make $1,000+ a Month Selling Starter Sites

But I think beginners can still buy articles and buy research keyword services
I'm afraid they can't because they don't know what to buy and from where.

How would they know the quality of keyword research? Or link building, what type of links, how many, what link velocity and so on. All these things have to be learned.

The first article I bought was bad. Even experienced bloggers spend thousands before finding decent writers.

That's an investment that no beginner can recoup easily, if they even have that kind of money to invest in the first place.

Ah yeah. I get your POV, and I totally agree with that. Cos you said no beginners can write, so i recommend to buy articles.

but yeah you're right. it is indeed difficult to get good reliable services in this wild internet world lol

Like @blogmen said, it's extremely hard to find a good keyword research service. If there was a good keyword research service that could actually find valuable low comp keywords that rank and get traffic, I'd buy 100 keywords every month. I've seen samples from most of the sellers and the keywords are total trash.

If you want to try out this method, I highly recommend that you learn to do the keyword research yourself. Buying content is easy. Finding the right keywords isn't.
 
you could sell a site like this before it even has any revenue. I bought a site last year for about $4,000 that was only a few months old and had no revenue

I bought a site for around $4,000 that hadn't made a cent. It was also sold within an hour and I wasn't the only one trying to buy it.
hahaha, I don't think people would buy a site if it's fairly new like 2 - 3 months old, and especially if it doesn't have revenue yet. Do you mean we could just make sites and post articles and make some money within a month? So, why is everyone not doing it?
 
I have a small concern. If my website is adsense approved do I need to sell the adsense account as well?
 
There’s a lot of competition for starter sites with no traffic and no revenue.

But there’s very little competition for sites making between $50-100 a month. These sites usually sell in a few hours.

It’s very easy to make sites that generate 50 bucks a month in 6-8 months with low comp keywords and no links. I think that’s where the money is.
You picked my words, this is what I noticed too,eager to know what OP thinks about this.
 
I did the experiment a few years ago. Fired up a magazine wordpress theme to build an autogenerated crypto blog (the site just displays big media articles). With a crypto related domain name.
I put it on flippa right away, at a $100 price. It didn't sell. I renewed the ad on flippa. Didn't sell. Renewed it again, and finally found a buyer.
At the end I didn't sell it because flippa was asking for all my id documents and pics to finalize the transaction, so I cancelled everything since I don't want to send these unknown guys all my private data.
Anyway it can work with some patience.

Thanks for the insights. So based on your experience how many articles/views must the site receive in order to make $50-100 a month? This is an easy $2000-3000 in 6 months. Not familiar with building sites, so my question is: Is this a doable plan for someone to crank out 6 of these once a month which equates to making $3000 a month for 6 months/sites? Can any beginner do this or do one need some experience ie fail some sites before being able to hit the $50-100 mark? Thanks!

5000-10,000 pageviews should be good enough to make between 50 and 100$ a month for US traffic in a decent niche. I’d say 30-50 articles to be conservative.

If you go after anime, celeb gossip or something like that, you’ll need much more traffic.

I won’t say that it’s easy but if you have the capital and time, there’s no reason why you can’t make 6 sites a month. To make 6 sites a month, you’re looking at publishing 300,000 words a month.

The toughest part in my opinion will be the keyword research. It’s not very easy to find real low competition keywords that will give you the results you’re looking for. This might be the limiting factor.

As far as being a beginner, imo, that’s a huge advantage. If you’re a beginner and willing to follow the right method, you’ll have much better results than someone more experienced with preconceived ideas.

If you’re willing to put in the work/money, you should be able to pull it off. You can follow the instructions from the free course in my signature.

If you don’t like that course, I recommend following the income school course. It’s beginner friendly and works like a charm.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown of articles per site and words needed. Makes this goal so much believable to achieve. Assuming 60 articles to hit the $50 mark, the cost to get each 1,000 word article outsourced would be maybe $10? So essentially I'll spend $600 to potentially get $1500 (assuming 30x)?

Then as you say it boils down to how well I can find these low comp keywords. No idea how I'm going to achieve this. I had the idea that kw research tools like ahref can easily help...maybe I'm mistaken.

I'm going to study your free course and income school. One question if it's convenient to answer. For a beginner what niche would you recommend? Thanks!
 
This is really a good one
Can one fake earnings also
 
@SEOMadHatter do you plan to start a JV on this? I guess there are plenty of people here who want to sell their websites and want to cooperate with you.
 
ye ive already thought about this using a theme from shopify and removing and adding some content and using a content ai writer for all the text, but ive also considered paying someone on fiver to create this and then reselling the site on flppa.

as i paid about 300 max for a shopify store which is finished and its worth about $1000 on godaddy but not sure if thats anything to do with the site, as well as the domain or if its just the domain

but any sites with with free plans that have themes ?
 
how much did it cost you in total to create this site and what did you use to build the site on?
 
cool share. i did something very similar when flippa just came out

around 2014 i made ~10 wordpress websites. random niches. bow hunting. mens divorce. meditation. mothers day gifts. back then you could copy/paste articles from rss feeds automatically. now i imagine you could use AI writing tools if you dont want to hire a writer or write yourself. then i imported adsense ads or relevant cpa banners or amazon affiliate banners. done. posted it on flippa.

most of them sold for $200-300. zero backlinks. zero earnings. domain was just 1 week old. People just wanted a website that was done.

not all of them sold. some of the ones that did lead to a connection with the buyer who wanted more sites built out for them. you can do anything from that point upselling yourself--website maintenance, hosting reseller, seo/smm agency, email.

took some man hours to pump them out. a skilled automation system/script can save you lots of time if you're making this your main method to scale.

.com domain ~$10
hosting ~$3
shopify is $29 vs wordpress is free
thats the bare minimum

Are you doing this now?
 
Are you doing this now?
no. i stopped because majority of sites did not sell.
but i see this kind of method shared every now and then.
not only for flippa. but there is a similar marketplace for shopify stores.
people say it works. shrug. if you have some earnings to prove, im sure majority of your sites find a buyer.
then again how hard is it to get a few clicks to a site?
for flippa you have to plug it into your analytics/adsense dashboard so you cant spoof stuff unless youre frauding your own account.
but it still makes sense to sell sites out. $30 a month site can sell for 12x-18x monthly revenue. use that money to fund bigger projects.
again its a lot of maybes. it little bit of $ $ to list. if no buyer, you just wasted bunch of time. theres also FB groups who are into this BST of websites. i looked at them last year. mostly ppl from tier 3 countries. i personally had hard time trusting it. lot of tire kickers who seemed to just want to clone your niche/site.
