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.

Being a “high profile” person

[ August 26th, 2008 ] Posted in » Daily Ramblings
Written by: Derek

I feel that i am always being “buried”. Just recently, i found out that there’s a need to build up your reputation if you want to get business deals and even you want to have more friends or success. Being a low profile guy won’t do you any good in future, that what i realised. In the past, i thought that by staying in a “low profile” form, i could have the same trust, i could got the same opportunities as others, but over the years, i am wrong. Frankly speaking, deep in my heart, i always admire those people who have good looks, good appearance because they are by in default, “high profile”. Normally, they don’t need to make friends or have opportunities, those just come to them naturally.

I am that kind of person whom just wanted to complete things silently on my own, putting in my finest effort ( a slient worker). But this kind of attitude that i have is not going to bring me towards my dream, in fact, it impeding my progress. I really do not know how to define trust and ability? Here’s two of the many scenarios that i faced.

1) There’s one guy who is a straight A’s student in the past but however he is kind of cocky (Strangely, he have alot of friends and words he said have “impact”). This happen in a scenario where it’s just a few hours before examination. Someone was discussing about some questions before examination and asked some questions regarding a subject. The straight A’s student wasn’t really right in explaining that questions, he was wrong. Well, i was there too and i tried to correct the mistake that he made. But however, no one listened to me, they doubted me. Just because i am not as good as that guy, my words have no influence at all. I know i am right, but i failed to convince people around me. This type of incident happens regularly to me. i don’t know why people can’t just believe in me. That is why i feel very inspired when people tend to ask me for question and advice. And normally, i would my best to help them and teach them all i know,  if i know the solution.

2) Here’s another one. This happen when i was in some sort of community and we are doing some proposal work. As usual, i was a low profile guy but however i did my part as a member. Here comes to the part where i tried to offer my help in some report using microsoft word. I have experience in microsoft word for years and have been using it since i was in middle school. Ok, this guy was trying to insert a report header in the document and he was doing it wrong. He just copy and paste in every page of the document. I saw that mistake and i tried to explain to him. Then he said, “You know, our senior told us to do this, we need to insert header in the report every page, just don’t bother me, you are just a helper”. So i just smiled and walk away. Ok, if that’s the way you want, fine with me. That is the reason why i quit that community later on. Community with that kind of project leaders isn’t worth it for me to serve.

All this happened because i do not have the reputation and influence over others. Just like being as an employee in a company, opportunties are always given to those “high profile” people even though you are more skilled. Actually, this is my bad and i failed to realise it till then. Just like starting a website, if you do not advertise it, people wont know it’s existence. Same thing applies, if you have the skills but no one know your real skills, what is the use? When doing business such as buying web hosting, even though i can offer the same package with lower price, better quality, better support, people just choose those reputable companies over me. Why?

That’s how the world works and let’s face it.

Which group of people are you?

[ August 24th, 2008 ] Posted in » Daily Ramblings
Written by: Derek

In the world of working adults i.e, the business world, there are two different groups of people. One is the group of people that make use of others, the other consists the group of people who are being make used of. Which one do you belong to? I understood this theory after working as an intern in some companies and a few part time jobs over the years. So, let’s talk about the first group of people.

People that make use of others

This group of people normally consists of entrepreneurers, business owners, venture capitalist or even managers. This people usually benefit the most while putting the least effort, compared to others. They play with money instead of being played by money. For me, i hate people of this group but however, i wanted to be one of them. Though i hate them, i actually admire them. That’s pretty contradicting right? Ok, imagine you are the boss and you have people working for you and being paid the pennies, won’t you feel great? Now, imagine you are the employee and you are being paid pennies for so much you done. I am pretty sure you will be angry and will have a strike to increase your pay. You get the point? Have you ever watched a japanese drama called “Dragon Zakura”. In this particular drama, it emphasizes on how “stupid people” are being cheated by the “smarter people” and how the “smarter people” rules the society by creating laws and rules that benefits themselves (Note: I am not making any comments of the government). Ok, now let’s talk about the other group which consists of majority including me.

People that are being make used of 

If you are in this group and you are the same as me, let’s not be depressed. We might be being make used of now but not forever. Let me give you an example how the company make use of us. Imagine youself as a designer that work for a designing company. Your monthly pay is $2000 and in every month, you completed maybe a maximum of 5 projects. Let’s say each project cost $2500 ( your company might not tell you this, afterall you are get paid monthly just to do what you are supposed to do). In this case, your company earn ($2500 x 5) which is equals to $12500 and offsetting your wages of $2000, they make a net profit of $10500. So now calculate how much a typical company with 30 employees can make monthly? However, if you can create so much  wealth for your company and you are just being paid $2000, you have every right to request for a pay rise and if your boss reject, quit it. If you are working for this type of company, you will have no future. Trust me.

Evolving from the second group

Now comes another group of people that are evolved from this group. This group of people are the ones that cannot stand it and decided to advance or level up themselves to the first group. Normally, this group of people are being most hated by the first group. People in this group learn and leech all information and social networks in a company and then they start their own with modified technology that are even better. Have you ever wondered why coca cola taste so alike to pepsi? A recent example will be Cuil search company which rivaled google. For more information, it’s started by ex employees of google.

So which group are you in and which group you want to be in? Any views or insights regarding this post today will greatly be welcomed.
