Thousands of people make money online with hundreds of different methods. They may do freelance work designing web sites or programming to name a couple.

Buying and flipping websites is one widely used method, but many people think you have to buy expensive sites and flip them for a ton of money to get any real profit. That would require large investments that not everyone has available. This is not so. I will tell you how to flip sites with just a basic HTML knowledge and photo shop ability.

First find a site that has websites for sale. Look through the listings for a clean simple site with a decent domain name. You aren’t looking for a killer niche or anything premium. You just need something decent. Try to get something under $20.

Now I strongly recommend for this avenue and most other MMO strategies that you become at least half decent with photo editing software. People like flashy sites with custom logos and headers. This will be the part you spend most of your time on so you really want to get fast at it.

Once you add the logo and custom header, it is mostly marketing. Make sure to bring out all the positive traits of the site you are selling. Mention the fact that the content is unique and hand written. Mention that the logo and header are custom. If the site is a high paying adsense niche like insurance or bank terms, make sure they know that.

Offer to sell the site for $1. That is a good deal to anyone. You offer that price based on them signing up for hosting with your affiliate code. So you get your profit from the commission paid by the hosting company.

An example of how this works is this. Hostgator pays a minimum of $50 for customer sign-ups under your affiliate link. So you will make $50 from the sale even though the customer only pays you $1.
