How I Got Started In Website Flipping

The first thing I started doing to try and fix my life was to look for opportunities. I had seen some stuff about how to make money online and work from home. That sounded pretty cool, so I started looking into it.

In the beginning I SUCKED BAD at making money online! I couldn’t make a website make me money for the life of me. I even paid money to buy different ebooks and they were good, but I was still doing something wrong.

Then almost on accident I found this website that would let me sell websites called Sitepoint.com - I figured I had nothing to lose. So I decided what the heck let’s list one of my failed websites for sale and see if anyone else out there wants to buy it from me. 2 days later that website sells for $50!!!

My website that failed horribly had just been bought by someone else for $50 - WAAHHHOOOO!

This is when I realized that there were people much smarter than me who knew what to do with these sites. They bought my sites, then made a few changes, and BAM now they were making money with them.

Well 3-6 months goes buy and I’m doing the same things. Buying ebooks, making websites, failing at Internet marketing, and then selling my sites. One day I’m doing this exercise I learned about and I realize… “Hey, I am making money online.” Everytime I sell one of these websites I make $50 - $500 bucks. This is about when I said to myself “there’s something to this website selling thing.”

I started doing some research and sure enough a couple people were making a real business out of this and it was called website flipping. It was in it’s very early days back then, but all the same this was a real money making opportunity.

I was making about $2,000 per month with it at this time. I decided I would get focused and solely work on flipping more sites. Although, if I wanted to make more money at it I needed to know how to make better sites. There were people selling websites for $2,000, $5,000, and even $20,000 each.

Then I Found My Coach…

My Internet marketing coach showed me the little things I was doing wrong with my websites and my own product sites. They were very small things I was doing wrong. As soon as I changed them my sites started getting traffic and making money.

I started reinvesting the money I was making from website flipping into marketing my new sites. In about 4 months, I sold my first 5 figure website! My girlfriend (wife now) and I as well as my family couldn’t believe it when I sold a website for $15,000.

It took me only 4 months to make 90% of what I was making in a whole year at my job!

Selling that site for 5 figures was actually pretty easy to do once I knew the right system. The only hard part was learning how transfer $15,000 from the buyer’s bank to my bank safely. That was the summer that I married my girlfriend in Thousand Islands, NY. We got married right in front of Boldt Castle on Heart Island. My whole family was there and it was a great vacation. Every summer we go back to Thousand Islands, NY on the St. Lawrence river for a whole weeks vacation. In fact last summer we took a 30 day vacation and traveled to 11 states in 25 days! All thanks to website flipping.
