Website flipping is a way of earning cash by buying domains, creating a blog and selling the result. But to make a decent income, you need to be working on a few websites at a time. How can you handle that?

If you are website flipping, then you might be trying to turn over the sites quite quickly, or you may prefer to really establish them and sell them further down the line for a bigger amount. But either way, the income is not going to be that remarkable if you are just working at flipping one or two websites at a time. So, how do you handle numerous websites at once?

The first steps might be to invest in reseller hosting space. Take a look at how much your hosting is going to cost if you continue with it for 10 or 20 sites and decide if a reseller account, with unlimited websites, can save you money.

Next, buy your domain urls and install WordPress. But think, what urls are you going to purchase? If you acquire 20 totally varying Domain names then you are spreading your work across varying niches and when you come to sell them, you are not saturating any one section of the market. Conversely, if you acquire 20 Domain names on the same theme, then although there is not the variation when you come to sell, there are advantages when it comes to writing.

My suggestion is, therefore, to acquire in groups. By 4 sets of 5 urls along the same theme. Now, start writing or acquire in some articles (do not use PLR articles!). At the same time, invest in an article spinner. The one I use is available for a one off payment of $47. Use this to create unique versions of each of the articles, so you write one article, publish that to one blog and then spin 4 more articles for the other 4 blogs. Suddenly, maintaining 10 or 20 sites and posting to each one 3 times a week is not all that difficult!

Now, all that you need to do is to start driving traffic to the blogs. You might work on them all evenly, or you might prefer to give preference to 1 blog of each group. By favouring some sites these will become ready for sale ahead of the rest of the group. You then put them up for sale and when they sell, but another domain name to replace that website within the group it was sold from.

Of course, blog flipping isn’t merely about the sale at the end. Ideally you could make an income along the way and this could also be a selling point. If the blog is currently earning $100 per week without you buying traffic, there are going to be more takers than if it is earning nothing. So make sure that you add in Google Adsense and any appropriate affiliate schemes and keep a monthly record of all incomes. You might even take part in sponsored posting once the weblog is old enough and again, keep records of these earnings. You might find that whoever buys it is interested in such avenues and evidence of existing success will be a benefit.
