Description:

Just to specify, so that there is no confusion  One is a free blog that I use as a promo tool (SiteFlipU.com), and the other is a paid membership site that sells at $97 for lifetime access (BlogFlippingBlueprint.com).

You are bidding on www.SiteFlipu.com Auction and to the winner i am giving away yes giving away the www.BlogFlippingbluePrint.com

Thanks for stopping by my auction.  I am giving one of you an opportunity that's so good that you'd be foolish to pass it up.  I have THE most popular blog on the subject of Site Flipping and a newly launched membership site.  The two combined made over $11,000 last month alone, and I have done ABSOLUTELY NO OUTSIDE MARKETING.  All sales were made from the blog itself, or from the 160+ affiliates that are pitching this product.

The Membership Site

BlogFlippingBlueprint.com was launched October 1st, and since that day it has seen over $11,000 in sales.  That sounds impressive enough, but it gets better... the site has received no marketing on my end, except for a couple of posts on the blog that I'll be offering up with this sale, and a single newsletter that I sent out to my 300+ subscribers. 

With a little marketing, this is a 20-30k A MONTH site, without much of a problem.  I put all my time and energy into creating it, and I honestly don't have the desire to do the marketing.  Even without marketing, it's averaging 4 sales a day!  That's over $350 in your pocket, every single day... now imagine what it would do with some marketing.  Just a few mentions in a newsletter, or some paid advertising and you are sitting on an absolute gold mine.  This site has made a decent amount of cash already, so I hesitate to use the word "potential", but the small amount it's made so far is nothing compared to what it would do in the right marketers hands.  I have no doubts that this site could make double or triple what I've made, every single month. 

There is no hotter topic right now in the make money online world, than site flipping.  It's growing like no other niche, and it's your time to cash in on it's popularity, and my hard work.  Both of these sites were created from the ground up, and everything in them is 100% unique.

The landing page, and the membership site are both running on Wordpress, and using a plugin that allows you to create membership sites.  It has been extremely stable so far, and I cant' see that changing in the future.  What an easy way to create, edit, and profit from a membership site, all while having the ease of use, and functionality of Wordpress. 

Speaking of the landing page, it was 100% hand written by me, and it converts at about 6.5%.  For every 100 visitors you send, 6.5 of them will convert!  The landing page gets compliments regularly, and I'm quite proud of the way it looks, and even better, it's high conversion percentage!  You can view the landing page for the membership site here...  Order.BlogFlippingBlueprint.com

I know what you may be thinking... I have to be a site flipping expert to run a site like this... but it's not true!  The course is already done.  You'll only be responsible for bringing in new members.  I'd also prefer to stay on as a mentor in the forums (for free of course) so that I can answer questions, and generally help out with the technical side of site flipping.  I'd be willing to do this for free, because I am committed to ensuring that the members within the site succeed.  I have a lot invested in them, I want to make sure that I'm doing all I can to help.  So, you don't have to ask if I'll stick around... I WANT TO, and I'll do it for free.  Now, my free offer includes me providing guidance and such to site members who ask forum questions, not creating new content or attracting new members.

I'd be glad to do all I can to help out!

By the way, the site is set up through PayDotCom to manage it's affiliates.  Some have asked why I didn't make this a recurring monthly membership site, and the simple answer is because I planned to sell it.  Selling something with recurring memberships would mean that the members would have to sign up again, and that's not something anyone would want to take a chance on.  Since launching it this way though ($97 for lifetime access), it has received a ton of praise from the blogging community.  They definitely like the one time fee over the recurring membership, but you could always change it if you'd like.

Key Stats

  • Alexa -166,309 (pretty impressive for a site that's less than 30 days old!)
  • Members -118
  • Revenue - 11,793 (Overall) - 10,202 (After fees and affiliate commission)
  • Affiliates - 161

The Blog

SiteFlipU.com is THE leading blog in the Site Flipping niche.  This is the free version of the paid site basically.  It has helpful tips and tricks, but the real gem is within the pages of the membership site. 

The blog itself doesn't make a ton of money.  It averages near $400 per month, but it was never used as a method of making money online.  The sole purpose of this site was to rank for the keywords, and gain a following, so that I could open the membership side of the site.  Speaking of keywords, this site ranks on page one for every site flipping keyword or phrase you can think of.  It's a promo tool like no other.

Not only is this site great for promotion, it can be a real cash machine if you ever wanted to monetize it.  As I said, this was never my focus, but it really could have made more cash had I chosen to do so.  I think I only mentioned 2-3 products that I attached affiliate links to.  The money made on this site was 100% Hostgator Affiliate sales. 

SiteFlipU has been featured in both the New York Times and The Guardian (UK Paper) as an authority in the Site Flipping niche.  That means two HIGH authority backlinks for the new owner that will only get better with time.  Not to mention, I still get traffic from them and both were published months ago.

Key Stats

  • PageRank - 3
  • Alexa - 77,774
  • Subscribers - 501 (290 newsletter + 211 Rss)
  • Average of close to $400 a month in income
  • Average of 4-5k monthly uniques
  • High SEO value... ranked on first page for keywords that are crucial to promote Blog Flipping Blueprint.  Site flipping, blog flipping, website flipping, flipping websites, buying and selling websites, etc.  - These move daily, but I'm USUALLY on the front page!

Remember, although the free blog doesn't make much money, it's a WONDERFUL promotional tool.  It is directly responsible for all of my non-affiliate sales, minus 4 newsletter sales!  I literally have done ZERO promotion, other than throwing up a blog post or two on Site Flip U, and sending out a newsletter to my subscribers.  It's almost passive at this point!

 

Revenue Details:

All revenue proof is shown in screenshots on the right.  Here is the breakdown.

  • $10,202 (After Fees) in Blog Flipping Blueprint Sales.  Most came from 2 posts on Site Flip U.  The remaining few came from affiliate sales and a newsletter I sent out to my small list.
  • $2,700 Since May for Site Flip U.  100% of these are Hostgator affiliate sales at $100 a pop.  I have never used Site Flip U to pitch products... it's mainly been a promotional tool.

    Strikers, Why not be a good guy, pay for the membership, and ask for a $129 discount if you decide to buy? :)

    Good luck to the seller - I'm following this with interest. http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=583029

    Hi Billy, Because I get courses sent to me free all the time as review copies and im also always looking at sites on sitepoint as potential purchases. I wont be using or even reading the info, ill be scanning it and seeing layout etc. and quantity of product given to see if i can work it onto a monthly recurring. Thats why ;)

    Hello,how are you today been snowing here...

    any way on your questions yes i still make sales every other day in fact i just made one this morning...i will post some screen shots.

    average 10 per week with no marketing just imagine with the right marketing...i also been thinking of out sourcing this as a joint venture with a Marketing firm who would be able to move sales with this wealth of product info 60/40 split but i would like to sell the site before i move to this next option i already have a few offers on (JOINT VENTURE) marketing idea.

    i really don't want to sell but be a shame let the site go a stray with out the right marketing geared towards the members only be fair to them to keep the site as promise with them thanks for looking.

    [quote=Flurrie Creative]I know that you've done ZERO marketing on the BFB but, have you made any sales (affiliate or otherwise) since you took it over? If so, how many? Thanks! - JD[/quote]

    I see a contradiction. It says $0 Revenue, but then $11,000 monthly revenue. This would be a bargain IF the revenue really
    is that much per month. But the $0 revenue concerns me.

    Please explain better to me. Also, I can not believe you would give up $11,000/month for a government job(Does it pay MORE
    than $150,000/year?)

    Thank you!
