When deciding to move your income stream to an online business there are many things to look at. I mean, the last thing you want happen, is getting scammed. That is why I made this list of instructions to help you on your way to great fortune, on the internet.

(1) Money Back Guarantee
Many people say that you should not join a program that asks you for money before you join. In most cases the people that say this are right. But not in all cases; some programs offer extensive amounts of tutorials, one on one support and mentor ship. These people spend time to make these programs, to help you. Asking money for their work is completely acceptable. But what is not acceptable is when you have to pay to receive a job. You would not go to Taco Bell and hand them a one hundred dollar bill to work there. No one in their right mind would!

(2) Strength of Sales Pitch
When reading a site watch for how they portray their content and how many examples they give you. They also should tell you what you will receive inside. Multiple videos, testimonials, and shown facts, make the site more believable. A good thing to look for is if their site is listed on many different networks, such as CNN, Fox News, ABC, and CNBC. What this shows is that it was looked upon by these big companies. They would not tell you about a site where you can not make money on because they simply cannot afford it. Someone could very easily sue them. But, if a site just says something like, “as seen on t.v.”, that could very well still be a scam. The same thing goes for, “as seen on Google” because it is very easy to put things on Google. Just because something is listed on Google, does not mean they are real.

(3) Testimonials
Even though it is very illegal to make fake testimonials, people still do it. So be careful whether or not to believe them or not. Take the as a “grain of salt”, as I like to say. If the testimonials are people all dressed up and professional shots, they are probably fake. The average person won’t go through all the trouble just to send a picture of themselves like that to a website.

(4) Mentor ship
Being able to have one on one mentor ship is strongly suggested by me. Joining a program where they never mention if they help you, is one to stay away from. This is because, the site might have good content on it, but they might just leave you with the information and you do what you want with it. With no help at all! Its morally wrong, but many people do it. Especial so called Gurus. Which brings us to the last point.

(5) Make Money Gurus
These guys are a joke! Pay no attention to their sales pitches and leave their sites as soon as you relies it is owned by one of these guys. Not one of them wants you to make money. They will give you information to make money with, but they will leave out all the major details. To through you off the beaten path and have you heading towards a rail road crash for your wallet. There has been many tests for these so called Gurus, and it was shown that they are not to trusted.

I hope I was some help with these facts. I struggled for years to make money online and now I want to help people. So they do not have to go through what I did. Take this information to heart because it will help greatly. I will share with you an example of a great website to join. This site shows all the facts, all the proof, personal contact information, mentor ship, strong sales pitch and testimonials. He is also not a greedy internet Guru. So write down this site for your records or visit it now.

The main reason why the staples are so significant is that a lot of people who purchase websites will finish up never selling those sites without being able to first advertise the site and drive bigger volumes of hits to that website. At the end of the day, expanding traffic should be the primary thing a site flipper sees when considering a site or any other business. Traffic is one of the most important things for a site and it is also one of the most important thing when you’re selling it.

Another area of stress for people who want to get into the site flipping business is search engine optimization and taking that site to the first page of search results. Yes, pay-per-click could get some visitors too, and article marketing may have a very short-run effect in linking up to the site, but the majority of web surfers won’t even view paid advertisements or articles at a non-storefront website. Remember this as it is really important.

Another thing a successful site should have is unique content. This content could come in the form of articles, reviews among others. Articles are one of the most effective ones. If you get quality articles and you promote them, you should see your page rank improving in no time. Google really cares about the quality and the originality of the content you have and it will reward you for them if they meet those requirements.

But don’t think about this as the main way to make money online with your site, as a matter of fact, article marketing and syndication ought to be used as a way to improve and build backlinks to the site. Search engine optimization will require a good amount of effort, but fortunately this could be outsourced to a certain level. Get the ball rolling and improve the aspects of your site that are important for both your users and the search engines. There are a lot of good search engine optimization services around, established sites and even internet marketing forums users that offer them. Build your links, improve your page rank and get good content, this will dramatically increase the value of your site.

Build or Buy a Website

The first step of the process is to actually get a website. You can do this by either buying a website or by building a website from scratch. If you choose to build a website, the biggest challenge will be getting traffic to the website. If you choose to buy a website, you’ll have to invest upfront cash. Your goal from that point is to increase the revenue so you can sell the site for a profit.

Add Value

The next step is to add value to the website. If you just want to make a few hundred dollars, this can look like you just building a site for someone. Create the design, the page setup and 10-20 original content articles. Then you can sell the site for a few hundred dollars. The reason people will buy the site is because it saves them the time and effort of building a site from scratch. If you’re buying a site with pre-existing traffic, the goal is to increase the revenue of the site. You can do this by increasing conversions, by adding backend products or by getting more visitors.

Sell the Site

The final step is to sell the site for a profit. If you’re just selling a brand new site with no traffic, your site will likely go for about $100-$500. If you’re selling a site that’s making money, you’ll usually be able to get 10 months of profit upfront. For example, your website is making $100 a month; therefore you’ll get $1,000 for the website. That’s website flipping explained in brief. The whole process can be summed up in three steps: Buying or building a site, adding value and finally selling the site. If you do each step properly, you’re sure to make a profit.

A good tool that will help you in your website flipping tasks is SEO Valid.

This instrument tells you whether the website has some basic search engine optimization tasks done. I strongly encourage you to check the site out since this tool really comes in handy.

A different formula to determine whether the website is search engine optimized properly is from seeing whether they are getting high rankings in search results. This is really easy to do. Even sometimes a seller will hold this info in the sales page or thread.  If this is not the case, you should ask them “are there some search phrases that rank well?” and go from there.

They could not provide this info and you may prefer to try to see for yourself. Naturally, if they supply you with traffic stats it should get you to discover what phrases generate traffic and if the website gets some traffic from search engines. Be sure that these states are genuine, most of the time I will check twice.

If they do not supply traffic stats and they do not know what phrases, if any, rank good then you could just go to the major search engines and make searches for phrases in that niche and discover if you are able to find the site on the first few pages. This is a really simple and yet, important part of the site flipping business. Make sure that what you are buying is actually what is promised and also be sure that the states that you are given are not fabricated.

Another effective way to determine whether a site has good search engine optimization is by looking into the backlinks. There are numerous free tools to perform this task and the majority are pretty good. Another great thing about website flipping is that you don’t have to be a millionaire to get good, you could start with no capital or some small investment capital and either way make a killing.

Another thing to consider is good appearance of the site. This is not essential for a website to generate money, but it may help. When I say appearance I mean graphics and design. You will be able to tell that some webs spent quite a good amount of clock time on the development and this should bring some value to the site. Eye candy really adds value to your site for some people and it could also get you more traffic. Work within your possibilities, but you may want to outsource some of this work to professionals.
