Site Flipping – How and Why It’s a Flipping Great Idea

Site flipping is fast becoming the business model of choice for many online marketers these days.

Some don’t get it, whilst others just can’t stop making money with it.

Site flipping is much like property investing, but the risk is often much lower and there is always a global market to sell your assets onto at any time (a market which is growing daily too).

There are 2 routes you can take when getting started. You can either buy an established website that has existing traffic and is already making money, or you can buy a fresh new website that is nothing more than a fancy template and cool domain name.

It all depends on your starting budget and skills. If you have a few hundred bucks, you could buy a website that has content and some traffic coming in already, then look to make improvements to the site to increase the traffic and the sales, thus enhancing the site’s overall value for resale.

Alternatively, if you’re strapped for cash, you can simply aquire a site that is less than $100 for example, then use your own skills and knowledge to boost the site’s performace, thereby increasing its’ resale value.

Buyers will be looking for 2 things:

Does the site get targeted traffic?
Does the site make any money?

There are other aspects which a buyer will be interested to know too, but these two are the crucial aspects they will want answers to.

Essentially, if you can increase either the traffic or the sales (or both) from a site you have purchased, you can then expect to be able to resell the site for more than you paid for it.

The whole idea of site flipping is about calculating your costs and quick turn around. If you get too attached to your “baby”, you’ll find it hard to sell…which, if it’s making money for you anyway, then it’s still a win-win situation, unlike real estate where the money is only made after the sale.

It’s like living in a propety you’re renovating to sell on, and getting paid to do decorate the walls…

If you’re looking to get started in site flipping the right way, and you want a fool proof way to start making quick profits without the “renovation” aspects, then you might want to check out Site Rush http://mcreasite.com/blog/srush/

It’s a comprehensive guide to site flipping that is designed on 3 different levels, depending on your income and skills…

Directory Bot a New Program from McRea Site Development

DirectoryBot

Another great way to get your web site out in the public view, is to submit it to as many Web Directories as possible. The core benefits of doing so are of course back links and organic traffic from them…it can’t be beat for giving your site a much needed boost!

There are alternatives – automated submission programs costing $100 or more that claim to submit to all of these directories. But in checking them out, many of the directories don’t even exist anymore. You could also outsource this to any of numerous services out there, but the cost of doing this really adds up over time. And you can just never be sure they did a thorough job of it!

What sets DirectoryBot apart from other automated services is quite simply the price, the automated directory updates and of course, the ease of use.

DirectoryBot presently supports over 500 online web directories – and we work to add new ones all the time! Whenever we find a new one or we discover an existing one that is no longer available, DirectoryBot automatically downloads and updates itself with the latest, most up-to-date list of directories available.

DirectoryBot Costs a Measly $24.95 And It’s A Once Off Payment…
Updates Are Free For The Rest Of Your Life!

Buy it, download and install it and you’re done. It takes 10 or 15 minutes to set it up the first time and after that, you just add your newest Domains as you launch blogs or sites. Click the submit button and DirectoryBot does everything for you from there. It even supports semi-automatic submissions to those online web directories that use CAPTCHA on their submission forms!

  • Supports Multiple Submission Profiles
  • Automatically Submit to Over 500 Directories

4 Ways To Explode Your Blog Traffic For Free

Every online business needs traffic in order to survive, that much we already know.

But in this article, we’re going to look at 4 of the most effective ways to set up windfalls of consistent traffic through one of the best publishing platforms online – blogs.

1. RSS Feeds

Most blogging software such as WordPress come with a built in RSS feed, which is the equivalent to having a newsletter subscription service, but of course is 100% free and requires no details to be passed over from the subscriber. Most people just let their RSS feed sit there on their new blogs but what you must do is submit your RSS feed URL to as many RSS directories as possible. Therefore, when you post new content on your blog, this is syndicated to your RSS feed and the directories display your most recent posts. This is one of the easiest ways to get immediate exposure every time you post content.

2. Blog commenting

If you’re looking for targeted traffic and some solid one way backlinks to boost your search engine listings, then try commenting on other people’s blogs leaving a link back to your website. Providing you post relevant and useful content/comments on other people’s blogs, the blog owner will “approve” your comments and you link will then become live. This can bring direct traffic and of course help with your rankings in the search engines.

3. Guest Bloggers

There are many advantages to having guest bloggers post their content on your site. Apart from the credibility of your blog going way up (depending on who the guest actually is), you are forming a mini joint venture where the guest is likely to tell his/her own audience about the material on your site, plus you may be able to work out a deal where you can return the favor and get access to their blog audience by appearing as a guest writer on their blog.

4. Trackback links

A trackback is when one blog communicates with another to inform the bloggers that their material has been referenced on someone else’s post. So if you were to write a really good post, I could write about your post and create a trackback on your blog that tells the readers I’ve been talking about you and your post. Not only can this bring direct traffic, but also provides another backlink to your blog which is great for a little SEO boost. When would this be most effective? Probably when I have a contrasting opinion to your original post or if I have something helpful (or controversial) to add to the original post.

These are just 4 of many ways to explode your blog traffic, but we’re not done yet. It’s possible to reach dizzy levels of traffic for your new blog right from day one when you have an arsenal of blogger’s traffic tactics at your disposal.

5 Winning Ways To Slam Out Traffic Pulling Blog Content

If you’re trying to get more eyeballs on your blog and more cash in your pocket, then there’s one thing that fuels traffic and income…good content!

I’m going to cover the pillars to creating good quality, magnetic blog content that will bring in traffic, fans and fortunes if you stick with it for a few weeks.

1. Killer titles

If your goal is to get ranked in the search engines, you need to obviously focus on getting your keywords in your title. However, you also need to balance this with actually creating titles that people want to click on and read. Use controversy, mystery, benefits and breaking news as the triggers for all of your titles. If you can ask a question within your title, even better.

2. Make it “scan-able”

Nobody reads full articles in these hectic times, not generally speaking anyway. Even your biggest blog fan will have times when they need the meat from your content without being told about how poorly your cat is. So use bullet points, sub headlines, accents etc. Make sure you break up large paragraphs so it appears less daunting to read in one sitting.

3. Controversy

Nothing gets more attention (and raving loyal fans) than a person who speaks their mind and kicks up a little dust every now and then. Speak to your audience, don’t just be another “me too blogger”. Just make sure you don’t say anything derogatory which could lead to legal troubles.

4. Use pictures

You only have to look at all the news papers every day and it’s clear to see how important images are. They have the ability to sum up an entire article and can also stimulate emotion or provoke a response. Also, it’s a proven fact that people are drawn to images first, and then their eyes will gravitate to the caption underneath the image. Guess what that caption could be? Yep, an affiliate link or advert perhaps?

5. Use lists

Also referred to in the blogosphere as utility posts. The types of posts that are often a “Top 10 Ways To…” or “The 7 Things You Need To…” and so on. These are great because they are not only easy to read, but also useful for the reader too.

There you have it  – a simple 5 step plan to creating content that is not only worth reading, but can result in increased revenue and more visitors to your site in general. But there’s a lot more to wealthy blogging that just great content, which is impossible to cover in the article alone.

If you’d like to know how to step up your blogging to the point of getting thousands of hits per month and seriously boosting your income as a result, check out http://mcreasite.com/blog/bank/as soon as possible.
