Learning how to flip websites can take some time, but like anything else, if you dont know something, you just learn whats required. If you think of website flipping like property developing but virtual, then you get the idea of what website flipping is all about.
You would go out there, where ever websites are sold, do a little research into the available properties, choose one that suits you and then turn it from nothing into something that earns an income. Then you can re sell the site at a profit. Sounds simple but you must learn all the steps involved before diving right in.
The most important thing about websites is traffic, so if you can drive traffic to a website then you will have no problems making a nice profit on each website, even if you dont actually change anything on the website at all. Traffic is what makes the sales, although some websites could do with a over haul.
If you have no idea about how to renovate a website then you can outsource everything thats required from design, added functionality, traffic and anything else you can think of. There are freelancers out there can will do anything for a very small amount of cash so you can use this to leverage your website flipping.
The art of flipping websites is knowing that a site has potential, if you look on flippa, there will be graphs that show the traffic trends, links and value. You can use these graphs to determine the future success of a website when the traffic increases. If you see potential then its worth a go. Not every website will be gold, but many will.
