Flipping websites can be extremely profitable in itself – however, if you’re looking for ways to maximize the earnings you get from every single sale then you may need to think outside the box. Here are five ways in which you can increase your earnings as a website seller.
1) Build A List
One thing that anyone flipping websites should do right away is start building up a list of interested customers. Simply sign up for an autoresponder account using a service such as Aweber, and create a simple webpage where users can input their name and email address. In each new auction listing you create, include a link to this sign up webpage letting them know they’ll be the first to get notified of any new deals. This can be a great way to sell future sites quicker and for higher amounts.
2) Offer Extra Services
Once the site has been sold, you can offer extra services to your buyers to make money on top of flipping websites. For example, you may promote an article writing offer, or regular maintenance of the website for a set amount per hour. Not all of your buyers will be interested in these kinds of services, but this can be a great way to maximize the potential earnings of any site you sell.
3) Get Affiliate Signups
When people buy websites from Flippa, the chances are they’re going to need to buy a few more things along the way. For example, they’re going to need website hosting, so why not ask them to buy through your affiliate link? They’re not obligated to buy, but you could offer them extra help with their website, or another bonus, if they do choose to buy. Other things you may have affiliate links for include paid plugins, SEO services, email marketing services and so on.
4) Create A Membership Site
Many people who buy websites on Flippa are quite new to the world of internet marketing. If you want to help teach them the ropes then why not set up a course or membership site that takes them through everything they need to know? You could even choose to make the course free but include upsells or affiliate links to useful products.
5) Create Custom Websites
If your buyer really liked your website and your style then there’s a good chance they will want to buy from you again in future. Some may simply wait to see what other websites you decide to put up for auction, but others may have something more specific in mind. Why not offer a custom website creation service that you market to all of your past buyers? You can generally charge more for creating custom websites than you do for selling sites at auction. Although it might mean more work and communication with the buyer, the benefit of this service is the fact that you can guarantee a sale, something that isn’t always the case when flipping websites on auction!

What a brilliant post. You should do a series!
I did a sort of blogging for dummies over on one of the craft forums and I thought it was too simple for them, but the amount of emails I got asking questions just like what you addressed was unbelievable. As young
people today we have grown up with computers, but it’s easy to forget that even people just a few years older have not! Really good post!
