Site Flip Project – Enter Here
Posted by Jason in Daily RamblingLooks like there’s enough interest in this judging by comments yesterday and the emails I’ve gotten, so let’s get cracking.
Rules and all still yet to be finalized – however might as well get people to enter as soon as possible so I can draw groups etc.
I do know that there is another competition at SFU that was started a couple hours after this one – I have entered that, and I know a few of you guys have too. There is no reason you cannot do both
I wanted to run this one though because I thought that on things you guys needed to learn would be off:
Why I’ve made this an individual thing
Site flipping tends to be an individual art – especially if you focus on one month flips like we’ll be doing.
Although work is much easier in a group, remember you’ll also be splitting the end money. General month long flips don’t tend to sell for more than one, two, maybe three thousand maximum on average, so you’d make around $200 in a group or $1,000 working a little bit harder yourself at the lowest level.
This group thing will be fun, as people will share tips, work will be easier etc, which is why I’ve entered – however in the long run, you guys are going to have to learn how to flip websites individually; yes, you can outsource, but individually doing all the tasks yourself means you can rinse repeat etc in the future.
The type of sites we’ll be working on (blogs) only need around thirty minutes a day to work on after we’ve set them up, slightly less on weekends.
Anyways, I’ve picked up a decent domain for this, and if it goes well we can do this again in the future. For now, let’s have people entering though so that I can draw up groups etc.
Enter Now
To enter, send me an email at JPereira.Owns [at] gmail [dot] com with a 50 – 100+ word description of yourself, any websites you currently run if you want to, etc. This will be posted on the website, so don’t reveal anything too private.
I really want people to be inspired by this – to know that normal people, some of which had no prior experience can setup brand new blogs and sell them in a month for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Anyone can enter, so email me today. Doesn’t matter where you’re from, what you specialize in, this is a fun activity that will hopefully teach you a shed load.

Pretty cool thing you’re doing here. I noticed there are a lot of bloggers suddenly talking about the same site flipping idea. It is like one person starts talking about it on their blog so than everyone else begins to talk about it because they realize it is a popular topic.

Jason, you’ve got e-mail
Guys – I think my email is playing up, for some reason I haven’t gotten the last three.
Could you guys please email to JPereira.Owns [at] gmail [dot] com ? Cheers!
I’m not sure if you got mine or not, so I sent it in again to your other email.
Static’s last blog post..Google Ad Manager for Everyone!
Got it, for some reason my email decided to not come on time and then 40 of them were there when I woke up. Lol.
That is a great idea. Will definitely like to work on this.
This does sound like fun, when does it start exactly? I’m trying to finish building a handful of niche sites and get those underway first.

Hi Jason,
E-mail sent
Thanks
So we are definitely doing blogs?
No adult sites or regular websites?
CreatingRevenueOnline.com’s last blog post..TUK’s Blog Flipping Contest
Yeah, blogs for this one, maybe different types of sites in the future. I got a sick domain for running this on, so we’ll see how it goes
Ah.. So we wont be using our own domain names?
CreatingRevenueOnline.com’s last blog post..TUK’s Blog Flipping Contest
You guys use your own domains, but I’m going to be covering the whole thing (think like Top Affiliate Challenge, but cooler
) on a seperate domain
This looks interesting, looking forward to increase my sales skills with this one!
Guys – just wanted to let all know that there’s no ‘applying’ , all that are interested can take part. I’m not going to be elitist!
What are the participants going to do?
Paul U’s last blog post..Michelle Obama? [Digg]
They’ll be flipping sites mate
You mean I have to buy a website and flip in just a month.
I don’t get it why does it become a group project because basically website flipping is just for individual who wants to get money in a shorter period.
If I were to join, I’m suppose to pay something?
Paul U’s last blog post..Michelle Obama? [Digg]
You setup a website and flip it after a month of developing.
It’s an individual thing, but you compete against others in your group. Whoever makes the highest sale amount wins prize(s)
You pay zilch to me, however you’ll have to purchase a new domain etc.
huhuhu, I cant wait till the project begin …
Denny’s last blog post..The University Kid – Blog Review
I’d love to take part too, I think it would be a great learning experience! But I don’t quite understand how it’s going to work – in your previous post you said we would be divided in groups (and the explanation actually confused me a bit), and now in this post you first say it will be an individual thing, and then you say you need to draw up groups. I think I’ve misunderstood something somewhere ^^;
Silla’s last blog post..New direction
I re-read the post 3 times and couldn’t figure it out either. I think we need clarification on whether we will work on an individual project and one group project, or, just one group blog project.
Hey guys,
What you will be doing is flipping individual blogs.
However, rather than have carnage of all the participants competing against each other (there are 20+ at the moment with more emails arriving by the second), I’ll break down the bunch into groups of seven flippers.
So, you work on your site, list it after thirty days… and the person that gets the highest price out of the seven people in your group wins. Each group will have the chance to win prizes etc, rather than one person winning a prize out of 30, Sitepoint getting flooded with all the auctions on the same day.
If you have more questions, feel free to ask
