Quit Your Job - Buy and Sell Websites for a LivingReprinted with permission of VotanWeb.comThe production line market and real estate industry have long been populated by day traders and flippers, those that buy and sell in a short finis of time in order to make a quick profit. In the real estate industry the life of a house flipper nookie be actually appealing. Buy a renovators dream property at a discounted price, renovate and modernize it and then sell it at a few months later at a profit. This process can then be repeated over and over. Buying and selling businesses is appealing tho given the high costs of making the purchase it is quite difficult to start, especially as a young entrepreneur. If you go wrong you may final stage up loosing a lot of money (just as you can with the stock market and real estate), so you really want to be sure of your skills and efficiency before investing. The Internet is very in the altogether and the whole online commerce industry is just e stablishing merchandising practices that work. Quite frankly, most of the people running businesses online have very poor websites. A lot of people running universal sites are not taking advantage of their traffic by monetizing it (this could be by plectron or ignorance). Making a profit may be as simple as go throughing a smart AdSense campaign on a popular site after buying it from an owner wishing to move on to other things. Perhaps an e-commerce site could use some search engine marketing or some tweaking to an AdWords campaign might do the trick, or better still, monetize, optimize, affiliate and upsell for maximum gain - make use of all the marketing tricks at your disposal. Im sure if we did some statistical sampling of the web industry search engine optimization techniques would be understood by a minority of webmasters and implemented well by even fewer. Search engine optimization is becoming mainstream and no doubt as the web continues to mature more than and more peop le will study, test and build better websites, but its definitely still early days. What this says to me is business opportunity. For those with the know-how, the energy to implement and a little bit of funds to buy the sites there are big gains to be made. What makes it even more appealing, especially for young or new entrepreneurs, is the price - we are talking about a lot less funds then it would take to invest in stocks, buy property or purchase a bricks and mortar business.
