Do you know that you can actually make some petty cash just by selling what you have in your harddisk?Just recently, i am doing monthly maintenance for my computer and i found this wordpress theme file that i used for my previous blog design. Those who visited my blog since the past few months will probably seen it before. It’s a waste to delete it thus i decided to sell the sponsored footer links and release it for public download. I spent around 2 hour packaging it, cleaning up the css codings, enhancing the layout, create screenshots and then listing the footer links for auction. In the end, I managed to get $90usd for the 3 sponsor links. Better than deleting right? Well, i guess this will also help to increase backlinks to my blog and improve the SERPs. I will be creating a section mainly for wordpress theme downloads and you guys can download the theme there.

Flipping websites or not?

[ August 28th, 2008 ] Posted in » Daily Ramblings
Written by: Derek

This question goes out to all those webmasters who have been been flipping websites. Why do you choose to flip a website? Instead of developing it, maintaining it and earning an passive income, why flip it? I have been flipping a number of websites since then and below are some of my experiences and thoughts into it.

Pros of Flipping a website

1) You get instant cash in your paypal balance. You do not need to wait for monthly checks from adsense, CJ or clickbank( If you monetized your website with affilite programs).

2) You get big payments in short term. Example, if you flip a website for $200 per day. But how long can it last?

3) I could not think of any others. Anyone got any idea?

Cons of Flipping a website

1) It’s a tiring process.

2) Sites that are developed for the purpose of  flipping are not of quality as they are just there for sale. You developed it in a short time frame just to sell it, thus standard of that website is definitely not good.

3) You need to look for buyers, such as posting it for sale and sometimes you won’t get any.

4) You won’t get big deals from buyers as those site are un-established. Buyers probably buy it to solve the hassle of creating it from scratch.

If there’s anything that you disagree or anything that i missed, please correct me. If the above question is directed to me, my answer will be no, but to some extent. Instead of just develop websites soley for the purpose of flipping, why not put in all your time and effort into one website? 100 websites with making 10 dollars per month or one website making 1000 dollars per month? Which is easier to maintain and monetize? Which of them has more value?  Which of them has more potential?

I say to some extent because sometimes when i am free, i really enjoy flipping websites, earning some petty cash. However, i won’t treat it as my main stream of income. In my opinion, it’s better to create a project that earns you alot, rather than alot of projects that earn you pennies. It add more value into it. You only need one big and good project in order to succeed. Just like facebook, did mark zuckerberg develop many websites? He just develop facebook and it earns money that can last him for a lifetime.
