Tips on Creating and Selling Websites

Creating and selling websites is the process known as "flipping". It's a term that is thrown around quite a bit on the Internet since virtual real estate has taken the net by storm. Many savvy Internet marketers develop websites within profitable niche markets, make them profitable then flip them for quick profits. The intention was never to keep the website long term which is how the turn "flip" comes into play. Your entire goal was to develop the site, get it to a certain level, and then flip it for a profit within a few months.

The amount of time before you flip can vary, but in most cases it is done within a few months. I've personally witnessed flips done in markets such as "Photoshop Tutorials", "Free Web Hosting", and even with products that were created with the sole intention of later flipping for a profit. The goal behind flipping is to first choose a profitable niche, have the website developed for as little cost as possible to ensure your overhead is low, then make that website profitable in a short period of time to quickly sell for profit.

Website flipping is so popular that entire ebooks have now been dedicated to the topic to go over all the aspects from choosing a niche, creating the website, ensuring the site is profitable, to then flipping the website for profit. You'll find that the most crucial aspect with regards to website flipping is the selection of a niche, so keep this in mind, as choosing the right niche will determine how much income you can possibly generate.

As with any venture, the more you put into it, the more money you generate. With the website earning good money, you can in turn flip for a large profit. Keeping and maintaining large profit margins will also have a huge part to play with the website flipping process. I've personally had websites created that cost less than $100 to create then I flipped those websites within a few months for over $2,500.

There are many people who have decided to turn website flipping into a full time business. Their only job is to create new websites in profitable niches that they can later flip for a stream of income. Keep in mind that you earn money for the period of time you own the website, along with the money generated after the flip. With this known, you can now see why many people are now looking to create websites geared specifically for flipping.

Creativity and Getting Outside of the Box

Sitting in front of a blank piece of paper? Wondering where in the world to start? I have a suggestion. Turn the page upside down. Or better yet flip it over onto it's backside. Let it know who's boss. If your first idea is terrible, write it down anyway. If the next one is silly, redundant or stupid, write it down. Who knows, it may end up being a comedy direction and that first terrible line may end up being the punch line. You never know. You are jumping off a precipice into the unknown world of creativity and you need to be a leaf at the mercy of the wind or you will come crashing down with your fears in a ball flames every time.
Throw as much as you can against the wall and see what sticks. I own a jingle and music production company and I had an assignment to create a jingle, positioning statement (slogan), campaign for Petaluma Auto Plaza in Northern California. They have a huge electronic sign on Hwy 101 and we decided that this landmark was our key. So, what do you do with a big sign? It's huge and you can see it from everywhere. It's so big, it's like a monument. And what do you do with a monument? We decided to worship it. So I brought into the studio Jeannie Tracy (from Whitney Houston's band), a gospel singing Diva, to sing the following full-on hand clapping gospel jingle I SAW THE SIGN: "I was lost in the gloom of auto dealers and sales pitches, then I saw a light shining bright standing tall (Where to turn?)... I saw the sign (chorus answers 'I saw the sign') in Petaluma ('Petaluma Auto Plaza')" and on and on... If you'd like to hear it go to: [http://soundad.com/sounds/] and click on Pet Auto Plaza. It's a smashingly successful campaign.
Sometimes "getting outside of the box" is about simplicity. I had a chain of camera stores in need of a jingle to brand their company name and a positioning statement (slogan) to bring people in. We did a market analysis and concluded that they were trying to reach two buyers:
#1)Professional photographers who were developing their film. #2)New camera buyers who were serious about learning the craft.
We came up with a simple line that appealed and spoke to both: WE DEVELOP PHOTOGRAPHERS
Creativity is not something I pull out of thin air. There is a process that I trust will lead me to something spectacular. I throw everything possible up against that wall without judgement or self criticism. If doubt creeps in, I throw doubt up against the wall. If I'm getting bored, I throw boredom against the wall and suddenly there is a humorous side that begins to appear. If I don't need humor, I throw it up against the wall and a new perspective opens up.
It's all good in the creative process and those of us who live it should honor it. It keeps us young because it's all about letting go, letting things flow and crawling outside of the box for a few moments.
