Description

Hello SP'ers,

Today I have a website for sale that is earning a recurring $1,270 a month. The site is a successful membership in the website flipping niche.

Since the website was launched in early November the site has grown very fast. There is huge potential to grow this site into the number one authority in the niche. So let's get down to some more details about this website...

There are two big components to this website...

The free trainings: this is how we get people into the sales funnel.

I created a series of articles and did a live website flip as content to get people to join my email list. The trainings started in early November and lasted for 10 days.

You can see the opt-in page for the trainings I did in early November at http://www.WebsiteFlippingProfits.net. Once they join the email list they were sent to the trainings area at http://www.WebsiteFlippingProfits.net/10day/.

The membership upsell: this is the paid training that sold for $127/month. This is where the money is made.

After the free training was complete everyone who joined the email list (355 people) were all offered the opportunity to join the more advanced trainings. The cost of this was $127/month with a 15 day free trial. You can see the sales page people were sent to @ http://www.WebsiteFlippingProfits.net/salespage.html.

We initially got 21 people to join the membership 10 of which are still paying members ($1,270/month).

I also did a small marketing test recently to see how well selling lifetime access would work. This worked well and we sold three lifetime memberships at $197 each. You can see those on the screenshots.

Access to this members area can be given to interested buyers upon request.

I hope you see what I'm trying to convey to you. Opening another free training (using the same content I created) and getting more traffic to that page could make a huge impact on the sites earnings.

Theoretically, if you could get 3,550 leads to the site and the conversion rate stays the same, you would be able to get 100 more members ($12k/month). I hope you see how easy it is to grow the profits this website is producing...

The time spent running this site is small. Right now I spend 30 minutes a day adding new content to the website and answering questions.

You'll find one of the best things about this site is the fact that no matter how many members you have the amount of work you need to do pretty much stays the same.

Initial traffic to the site was all free, from sources such as twitter, forums and the search engines. I used free traffic to test the conversion of both the squeeze page and sales page. Now it's been proven both convert well the buyer could easily buy traffic to the site and be sure of a profit.

I also suggest an affiliate program is setup in the future to allow others to do the work for you.

We currently have an email list close to 400 people – included in the sale. This list hasn't been properly monetized however if you started promoting more offers to this list I'm sure they would be very receptive.

Members who have joined are paying via Paypal. The PayPal account setup was only used for Website Flipping Profits so the PayPal account can be transferred to the buyer of the site.

Hopefully you can see how good an investment this website would be.

By the way, I'm selling this website due to illness, I wouldn't be selling this website if I didn't feel I had to.

All in all, this site is fantastic. Maybe not the most established website but this is more than compensated in the low BIN, high monthly earnings and the huge potential the site has.

If you have any questions at all do not hesitate to contact me. I'm available to talk about the sale of this website via PM, email and instant messenger.

If required I will be happy to set the website up on the buyers server free of charge. The domain name is at Namecheap.com so the domain will be pushed to your free account there. Payment must be received within 48 hours of the auction ending.

Kind Regards
Phil Jones

    How reliable and effective are the strategies outlined in these materials for creating profits by website flipping? Not to say anything but I have bought quite a few e-books on building website businesses and they all sounded nice, however, they were very hard to actualize. Are your customers satisfied for the most part?
    How much longer into the future do you estimate people will be buying these materials? After all, the Web is constantly changing and many things that are true today may become outdated a few years down the line.

    Hi David, the strategies work and are very reliable. A lot of members have reported back with some very positive results which is very encouraging. I don't think buying and selling websites is going anyway anytime soon... it's a big business. And since this is a membership site and is updated regularly the information will never be really outdated.

    I'm using PayPal to accept payments. A script called MembershipEase to manage memberships and finally Wordpress to manage content.

    The traffic stats show a large number of links coming in from webmail. Did you launch the site via a JV from a partner at the Warrior Forum? I notice you have a Warriors Only special page sending you traffic also. If the bulk of the traffic came from JV list marketing and a special offer page from an internet marketing forum, how will the new owner sustain the traffic needed to continue the sales you experienced? Will you help with that?

    No JV partners were used. The traffic coming to the site from webmail were returning visitors who had joined the email list. The new owner could use forum marketing, paid marketing, article marketing and affiliates to get more traffic and sales. I would be happy to help the new buyer get new leads and traffic to the site.
