How to Make $250 for Free by Flipping a Website

There are a lot of people getting into buying and selling websites these days because site flipping is such a hot topic right now and a great way to make money online. Sometimes there are people who are trying to sell a website or blog and for whatever reason they need or want someone else to do it for them.
There are many reasons why a person would need help selling their website or blog…
- Maybe they aren’t very good at writing up an auction that will sell, or they have never done it before so they don’t even know where to start.
- They might need money really bad and must sell their site now but they are new to site flipping and haven’t built up a reputation yet, so they want help from someone who has.
- It could also be that they simply don’t have time and are willing to pay someone a percentage to just do it for them.
…Or maybe they have another reason for needing help with their site flip.
Whatever the reason is, you can step in and sell it for them for some very easy money!
I recently sold a website for an online business acquaintance of mine because he needed the money fast and thought that I could sell it much faster than he could and get more money for it. He agreed to pay me 10% of whatever the site sold for. I calculated the value of the site being around $2500 so that’s what we decided to set the Buy It Now (BIN) at. Within two days we got a BIN bid and the site was sold.
The site owner handled the domain transfer, site transfer, answered all the questions, and everything else. He even paid the Sitepoint fees for listing the auction. All I did was write up the auction listing and sell the site. Although I did offer to handle the transferring of the domain and site files and would have done it, but he did it himself instead.
He sent me the $250 and it was done. That was about the easiest money I’ve ever made! And it was completely free money other than the hour or so I spent writing and listing the auction.
Flipping websites is a fairly easy way to make money online itself but this was even easier because I didn’t have to buy or build the site, or do much else.
There are plenty of people out there just waiting for someone like you to help them with their site flip or blog flip. Go make some easy money
