4 A few years ago when the real estate market was thriving, many investors bought undervalued homes, fixed them up and sold them for a nice profit. This is known in some circles as "real estate flipping." When you think domain flipping think of the same concept. Consider the domain name as the land and the website built for that domain name as the house.
Technically domain flipping is buying a domain name and reselling it. However it is more profitable to buy a domain name, build a website for it, get traffic to that website and then selling the domain name plus website. The key to mastering this money making strategy is finding "hot" trends and little known but profitable niches.
5 Closely related to domain flipping is website flipping. Flipping websites involves buying an under-performing website, improving it and re-selling it.
There are several websites that could increase their earning potential through improved search engine optimization (SEO), better navigation, quality content and strategies to capture visitors email or contact information.
To be truly effective you will need a "design team" to produce well-designed websites for re-sale. That team should include at least a web designer, a graphic designer, an SEO specialist and a copy writer. (You can outsource these jobs.)
