Who can forget the dot com boom and bust at the turn of the millennium. Big companies were paying ridiculous amounts of money for speculative virtual businesses. Like the gold rush of yesteryear, investors jumped on the bandwagon – some made a killing while most lost their shirts.
The market had a massive realization however, and now it progresses at a more sedentary and realistic pace. Sites don’t attract the hysterical investments of yesteryear. That being said, many smaller websites have become undervalued assets. Given the cooling off virtual property prices, there are now ample opportunities for investment in websites. Buying and selling websites, or website flipping, is now becoming regarded as a legitimate investment strategy.
Similar to real world property, virtual property can increase in value over a period of time without the need to do anything but maintenance. If you add value to the virtual property however, you are able to re-sell or flip the website for a gain.
The steps involved in a successful flip include:
1. Discover a website you want to invest in.
2. Negotiate and complete the sale.
3. Add value to the site.
4. Find a buyer and sell for a profit.
Now, I can’t tell you how to add value to your web site – obviously the value you add will depend on the site, your skills and capabilities, the market, and so on.
Keep in mind when buying and selling a website, all your time and expenses involved in the purchase a subsequent website upgrades. Tracking your profits and losses when flipping websites is important to find out if you are indeed making money flipping websites.
At the end of the trade, if you’ve only made $10 per hour for your work then there may be better ways to spend your time than flipping websites. The more you can streamline the process of improving a website, the more money in your pocket.
