let's get started
[Music]
so here is a list of 50 different sites
for sale on flippa that we analyzed just
for this video you could see here that
these range from a couple of bucks to
like 238 000
yeah just for one website and what we
did is organize all the data from
monthly profit to page views or traffic
how many keywords they rank for in
google the value of the traffic how much
organic traffic they're getting
according to the ahrefs keyword tool the
current price for the site on flippa and
whether it's an auction or a buy it now
kind of deal and you could see we
analyzed a ton of sites and we found
that the total monthly profit of these
50 sites was just a hair under 80 000 a
month total traffic was about 500 000
visitors they got over 172 000 keyword
rankings in google the ahrefs traffic
value
was actually right around half of what
the people were saying on flippa more
about that later the ahrefs traffic
again
right around the halfway mark of what
the listing says and if you were to add
up all the sales prices of these sites
you'd be out of pocket a cool million
bucks and to show you exactly how this
works i went ahead and dug into a domain
that already sold yes this is a website
that sold for 62 hundred dollars now we
could see according to the ahrefs
keyword tool a 50 million rank 1900
backlinks 807 referring domains over 750
keywords ranking in google 180 visitors
a month from that traffic and the total
traffic value is only 64 bucks that
means in order to make profit you need
to own this site for like 10 years i
don't know about you but i ain't got
that kind of time to make my money back
which is why i'm gonna show you these
four things right now number one how to
research private listings number two how
to find recent sales like i did here
using the spy method number three three
ways to value a site or business and
number four as a business owner a
website buyer a domain investor
what is it that i'm ultimately looking
for so i can make the most profit
possible and looking at that site that
sold for sixty two hundred dollars they
said it was making about four hundred
and fifty dollars which may or may not
be true this is an older listing and i'm
looking at stats from today but still we
need to pay close attention to this if
we want to make money because we could
see here this was about ice shavers
which may or may not be profitable we
need to look at the affiliate offers in
a little bit more detail and we could
see the keywords it ranks for are not
that great we have snow cone machine
which this one i could probably turn
into profit that might be
a reason to buy this domain but probably
not at 6 000 bucks because i could rank
for that one with any domain it's not
that competitive hint
what you just learned there is very
important to your ability to make money
keep watching to see where it fits in
commercial how to clean ice makers so
all kinds of stuff about snow cones and
snow cone makers and everything like
that but if you ain't got six grand to
spend on this site don't worry there's
other ways to get around this and i
probably personally wouldn't buy this
for six grand either and another little
tip for you i actually was able to find
this using the wayback machine that's
right you can go to web.archive.org
type any website you want and see what
it looked like back in time and this is
super helpful to my profit line because
if i can find a seller that's doing a
lot of this stuff like this guy here who
has 57 transactions totaling 151 000
i can actually go in and see what's sold
look it up and why now this is very
important because we could go through
and see this one sold for 2200. but if i
click here you're gonna get a 404 error
that says this listing doesn't exist
anymore however if i take the entire url
plug it in the wayback machine i can
actually click here and see what the
listing looked like back in february and
now i know that this site actually sold
for 2200.
and now it's time to do a little
snooping if i can take this image of the
website and find some specific things
that are going to stand out in google
and then google them i can probably
locate the site that sold boom there it
is damn my internet's pretty fast then i
could take that site put it into my
ahrefs keyword tool see what keywords it
ranks for and see if the website's worth
it and according to these results i
would have bought this for 2200 bucks
in a heartbeat but since it's not for
sale anymore now i know i can go find
internet speed test stuff
domains for speed tests or other
websites for sale and use this niche to
make a bunch of money
money
and what i want to do is pay close
attention to what's going on on these
sites see if there's some that match the
price model that works for me and if
there are i could pick them up and
resell them there are tons of people
that are on flipa that are buying sites
building them up reselling them for more
than they bought them for now we're
going to talk about this in a minute but
let's take a look at a couple others
here's one i found that was for the work
from home reviews type niche now i'm not
going to reveal the site but the traffic
wasn't that impressive i could see that
the ahrefs rank was about a million 3
900 backlinks and only about 2 700
keywords with about 2500 visitors a
month and the top keyword was all about
different reviews for different make
money products now the rankings are okay
i probably could build this up to do
really well but it's starting at twelve
thousand dollars there's a thirty two
thousand dollar reserve and the buy it
now is 130 grand i would probably do a
heck of a lot better with a lot less
money if i bought a domain at auction
and built it up myself and to learn more
about my auction methods check the links
in the description for those videos so
that one probably wouldn't be that great
of a buy for me i did find a site about
air purifiers that was making 62 dollars
a month which had an asking price of 3
000 and that actually matches a domain
that i found at auction that i got for
only 300
which i could probably get to do similar
rankings and this is actually a domain
that i bought as part of our high ticket
niche program where you could actually
go in and get the domain that i get we
build it for you we help you set it up
and then we help you make it work it's
actually really cool and this one you
can see here actually when i bought it
at auction it had quite a few rankings
for these different air purifiers which
was pretty cool it also had some very
specific backlinks for air purifiers and
different things like that and we could
see in the movements that it had lots of
recent rankings we can build up and grow
as well so this is a perfect site for
what we're looking for if we want to
build it up and grow and not have to pay
tens of thousands of dollars to get
these sites and i also know worst case
scenario i could build this up make a
little bit of money and then sell it on
flippa because people are buying this
stuff like crazy
there's something about notepads for mac
and e-commerce blog something about
showers that's going for 4 500
street food not making that much money
there and on and on we go and looking at
the results the average website you buy
isn't gonna give you profit until at
least two to three years after you buy
it and that's assuming that the rankings
stay the same and the money stays the
same so there's a lot of risk here but
it can be rewarding and flippa can be a
great place to find these but often
times you gotta weed through a bunch of
stuff to find a really good one and of
course you want to pay attention to
people who don't know how to monetize
their site for example this website's
about mattresses they're only making 139
dollars a month which i know there's
some good affiliate offers in the
mattress niche that do really well so i
would have to take a look at this and
see if the traffic in the rankings is
worth 5 500
and if it is i would buy it and if i
don't have 5 dollars i'm gonna go a
different route find a cheaper site and
spend more work building it up or i
could start from scratch or i could buy
a domain at auction or i could go to
highticketnitches.com
and marcus already did this for me
that's why our high ticket niches
program is so valuable
highticketnitches.com if you want to
learn more about that and we could see
here there's all kinds of sites that are
out there that are for sale that we can
either buy take over and build up or
simply use as research to find niches
that are worth lots of money so when i'm
using flipa the number one things that i
want to look for is people that are
selling stuff and what kind of niches
and genres are fetching lots of money
because no matter what the gurus tell
you i'm gonna look at what's actually
working and what people are using to
make money this is an incredible
resource and when i'm using flippa i
want to be careful to watch out for
overpriced websites or cookie cutter
websites you want to make sure that the
websites you get have something of value
other than just the website unless
you're just buying a domain for the
domain purposes but we want to go
through and say hey i don't just want
like the drop shipping master site with
all the stuff on it i want something
that's actually ranking in a niche that
i could use to build up maybe something
that's making a couple dollars a month
or 500 bucks a month or whatever it is
very important there because i see a lot
of my students and customers come to me
after buying these cookie cutter
websites for hundreds and thousands of
dollars that aren't worth anything so
watch out for that and make sure there's
real world value and number two we're
going to use flippa to find niches and
some decent sites for sale so we could
go out there and we can find niches and
and different things like that that are
worth lots of money now we have to be
careful because some of those sites like
the one i showed in the beginning that
said it's making 21 000 a month
according to the traffic of that site it
doesn't actually look like that to me
now that's my first glance we could dive
deeper and see if there's a network of
sites or whatever it is but according to
my research it's only getting 2 900
visitors a month on that site and even
if we do a similar web report we can see
it's getting less than 50 000 visitors a
month so unless they're making like 20
bucks a visitor it's probably not going
to cut the mustard so we got to pay
attention to that and we got to use this
and look at it rationally like a
business person number three it's a
great resource to find what people are
doing to profit we can go in and we can
find people who have networks of sites
that are buying and selling them and
reselling them and building them up and
all kinds of things some people are
using flippa to make a full-time living
and that's pretty cool number four we
can take our websites and sell them on
flippa number five we can buy build and
rank sites for the purpose of having a
flip a business where we build sites for
other people to take over and number six
my favorite takeaway is that we can find
serial site sellers and hack the
keywords of literally any niche and
sometimes if we run across a good site
with traffic and backlinks
we can buy it build it grow it and make
lots of money so i hope you enjoyed this
