How to Flip a Blog for Profit? The Example of BlogFlippa.com & Crohnsdiseaselive.com

Let us today discuss about how to flip a blog for a profit. In my previous articles, I have discussed about Domain Flipping in detail. Today let us go to one step further – A Blog Flipping.

Flipping a Blog is exactly same like flipping a real estate. A Real Estate Flipper buy a property at low price, monetize it and sell it for the profit in the future. A Blog Flipping is exactly the same. Basically 2 types of Blog Flipping are there.

01) One is, you buy already established blog for low price, add the information rich content into it, change its template, market it well, grow its reader base and ultimately sell it for profit in the future.

02) Second is, you develop a blog out of scratch (From Starting), grow its reader base and sell it for profit.

Today we will discuss about the second type. Because it will cover the first one as well.

I have created this post in collaboration with my junior friend Deep who is a serial Blog Flipper & The Internet Entrepreneur. Deep is running a successful Medical Forum, Cafemedico.com

Today I will discuss that, How Deep has created 2 Blogs & Flip on of them for a profit.

Example – 1 Crohnsdiseaselive.com -

Just 3 months back, Deep has created a Blog on Crohn’s Disease. He recently sold this Blog for US $ 2000. Yes…. That’s US $ 2000 (Rs. 1 Lakh).

And What was his Total Investment behind this? Well a Domain Name cost of US $ 10 + US $ 10 for Listing the blog for Sell on Flippa.com + US $ 10 per month of Web Hosting Cost. So his Total Investment is US $ 50 behind this blog. And What is the return on Investment?

Well,….40 Times …..And That’s 4000 % profit in just 3 months……!!!!!

All you need to do for a Blog flipping is, First of all you have to do market analysis. You have to find out a Niche in which you are going to develop your web property. Once you find out your Niche, you have to Buy a Domain Name & a Web Hosting. You can buy a Domain Name & a Private Host here.

01) GoDaddy.com – Best place to buy a Domain Name

02) Hostgator.com – Best Web Host on the Internet

Once you buy a Domain Name and a Web Host, you have to start posting regularly on that blog. Remember, the more information rich content you add in your Blog, the more it will become valuable over the time. Allow 3-6 months to index all the web pages in Google Index.

Once you develop a Blog, Put it on Auction for Sale on Flippa.com.

Remember, It is better if you put all the blog statistics on the Flippa before Sale such as Web traffic details, Google Analytics snap shots, Google AdSense earnings snap shots…etc… The Listing price on Flippa for small sized blogs is US $ 10 per listing.

Example – 2 BlogFlippa.com -

Deep’s another venture is BlogFlippa.com. He is a Medical student so obviously he can’t write about Internet & Blogging related topics very well. So this time he has higher a writer to write on his Blog BlogFlippa.com.

He will invest some of his profit from his previous flipping in creating information rich, unique, SEO content. You will find many SEO writers on the Internet. They can write whole the day about any topic for around US $ 5 per post.

You won’t believe me but this is true…. Many Blog Flippers around this world are making literally 6 figure Income by flipping their blogs. Just take the example of Deep. He is right now making 5 Figure Income per year by flipping blogs and websites for 3-5 times a year……….!!!!!!!!!

This time, Deep is planning to post around 500 information rich articles on BlogFlippa before selling it. And this time he won’t sell his new Venture for less than US $ 5000.

In short, in real life you must have seen Real Estate Developers. Real Estate developers are those who buy a large piece of Real Estate, make a building on it and than sell it to a new buyer for a profit.

The Blog Flipper is also the same. A Blog Flipper buys the virtual real estate of the internet (Domain Names), develop it (Develop a Blog) and than sell it for much higher profit in the future….!!!!
