Website flipping for money is a great way to supplement your income, or even to make a living. But just like flipping a house, the art of flipping websites follows this rule: you get back what you put in (if you put garbage in, you'll get garbage out!). By using these simple website flipping secrets, you can add tremendous value to your site and sell it for hundreds or thousands of dollars more with just a little extra work. Without further ado, here are the top 8 ways to give value to your site and sell it for a much higher price.
Build a list of buyers. It's just like an affiliate marketing e-mail list. You build this list by contacting those who buy or place a substantial bid on the websites you put up for sale. Just send them an e-mail asking them if they would like you to contact them when you have websites to sell in the future, and many of them will say yes if you provide quality websites. Once your list is large enough, you may not even need to use Flippa to sell your websites!
Create quality content. Your websites reflect on you as a website seller. With good quality content, you'll sell your sites for a higher price, and forge your reputation as a resource for quality websites.
Use white-hat backlinking methods. Always make sure to engage in legitimate SEO techniques from "clean" websites! The last thing you want is to have to deal with unhappy customers once your website is already sold and off your hands.
Use buyer keywords. Optimize your website for buyer keywords. Website buyers will be looking for monetizing sites, and will recognize the quality of the keywords you are targeting. So make sure that the webpages you build are targeting keywords that will yield a high conversion rate!
Add videos to the site. - Videos present great value, and save you the hassle of writing an article. You can downlaod a free plugin called TubePress (http://tubepress.org) that makes installing videos on your site a breeze.
Take a good look at Flippa.com (and other site selling forums). - Inspect the sites that have just been sold, note their niches, and the prices they sold for. Go to the actual site to get an idea for what quality sells for what price.
Leave proof of your website's traffic. If you own an established site that is already generating interesting traffic, include a snapshot of the data showcasing the traffic that your site receives (or give potential buyers access to the analytics data).
Let them know why you are selling the site. Buyers will always want to know why you are looking to get rid of your site. Otherwise, they will ask themselves what's wrong with the site, and why they should inherit your problems. Leave a note in your ad saying something like you are too busy too care for the site, or something similar.
Every day, more internet marketers are discovering that flipping websites can be (on its own) a fantastic way to make money. There is, however, a lot to learn if you are serious about making it big in this industry.
