Site flipping – fun and profitable

Web site flipping – creating sites purposely to sell – is one of the Web writing skills we teach writers on Sell Your Writing Online NOW (SYWON).

The practice is growing in popularity.

Here’s a story from the New Your TimesFind an Undervalued Asset. Fix It Up. Flip It. (Now It’s Web Sites, Not Houses) – NYTimes.com:

“While there is no data on how many people flip Web sites, the number of sites sold on eBay has doubled over the last three months, the company said. At SitePoint’s marketplace, a similar forum where users can auction off Web sites, sales have quadrupled in the last year, said Matt Mickiewicz, a founder of the site.”

Creating sites to sell is a lot of fun, and it can be very profitable indeed.
