How To Find Buyers With Fat Wallets For Your Website…

May 6, 2011 By Ryan T Malone 3 Comments

Ok, when you sell anything on a shop floor, what is the first thing that you do? You qualify the buyers right? Exactly. You want to make sure that the person that you approach is actually looking for what it is that you are selling.

See, the real world is good for that kind of thing. On the shop floor, we go person to person, greeting them, asking how their day has been, and ultimately searching for signs that they might be on the verge of spending their hard earned cash on something that we sell…

Are Flippa Removing And Banning Dodgy Auctions & Sellers?

February 8, 2011 By Ryan T Malone 10 Comments

I warn you. Not everyone is going to like this post. I’m ready for the onslaught though. Today when looking through the most active auctions on Flippa, I noticed an auction that was sitting in the number two position that was currently bidding at $1050, with claimed revenue in the heading of $2000 per month. Now, if this was truly legit, I would expect the bid to be much higher, so I gave it a second look to see if it really was an opportunity or not.

So, You Want To Start Creating And Selling Websites?

January 9, 2011 By Ryan T Malone Leave a Comment

It goes without saying that creating and selling websites is a super easy market to get a grasp of, and even easier to turn a profit. However, it goes without saying that it is also just as easy to go about it the wrong way, and end up falling off the tracks. I know, I have fallen off the tracks a few times, lost focus, and even tried to sell some websites that realy were’nt that big an opportunity. Truth of the matter is that this is all one big earning curve.

Flippa Might Be Taking Away Your Anti Sniping Policy

December 4, 2010 By Ryan T Malone 14 Comments

Flippa have an anti sniping mechanism that works. In fact, it is one of the things that I love most about Flippa.com as in most cases when I have been selling a website (that is of a high quality), this is when it receives most of its attention, and bids come in hard and fast. I have seen auctions extended out by at least 2 days due to this as well.

Flippa Pricing Rant

November 24, 2010 By Ryan T Malone 6 Comments

Cue sensitive topic. Flippa has made it more expensive to list websites. Is this a bad thing though? Well, that is what I am going to discuss today. The problem with this article is that this write up is going to do one of two things to one of two different kind of person.

First, for those who sell websites for the purpose of profiteering regardless of the quality of the sites, this piece is probably going to piss them off.

For those who sell established websites that are a viable asset, this price will most likely be applauded, as people will not be able to break even on costs when selling crud websites as easy, which means that good websites will gain more exposure.

So, with that said, I expect all kinds of feedback on this post, trolls, and so on from this post. Bring it on.

One Of The Biggest Website Flipping Mistakes

October 19, 2010 By Ryan T Malone 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I sent an email to members of my Website Flipping Insiders List, and sake them a handful of questions so that I could get an idea of where they are all at, and how I can help them more. One of the questions that I asked was simply, “if there was one thing that you would like me to teach you, what would it be”, and the most frequent response to this question was that my subscribers wanted to know what the biggest mistake when it comes to selling websites is.
