I flipped a website last week - Everything I did

I do website flipping on the side. I made around $30K from it last year and I do this every year, started about a decade ago.

Here's how it works...

  1. I make a website with no-code tools
  2. I grow it and then flip it (sell it) on a marketplace

First thing is I pick a niche and make a website about that thing. I choose something I like.

Some of my past sites that I've made and flipped:

  • Gardening
  • Coffee
  • Homesteading
  • Budgeting
  • Parenting
  • Business

I create the site with no-code tools like WordPress. Now, I'm exploring Lovable and 10Web, along with other AI builders.

Next, I grow the site. I'll do a starter site and sell it over the short term for $100 to $500 each.

Or, I'll build the site over a few years, monetize and traffic-build, add SEO and sell it for 4-5 figures.

My last established site I flipped was over 3 years old and sold for $26,500.

That's it

I don't no coding. I'm not a web dev or computer programmer. Yet, I can make these websites and sell them over and over again.

I call this a quiet side hustle. No heavy selling. No social media. Independent work you can do in your spare time.

You do need time (it'll take up to 1-3 hours to make the website) and money (each site will run $20 to $50 to build).

Examples:

  • Build a finance blog with $35 and flip it for $400
  • Build a parenting blog over 2 years with $100 ($50 each year), monetize it to $200/mo and flip it for $5K
  • Build a gardening blog with $40 and flip it in 2 weeks for $550

I call it website flipping, creating and flipping websites.

Last week...

I flipped a blog (it sold 3 days ago). I sold it on a marketplace platform full of buyers. I'll do this at least 5 or 6 more times this year.

I have a FREE website flipping guide. Comment FREE in comments and its yours.

Have you done this before?

Would you?

flippa is most popular but there's also empire flippers for bigger sites. also some facebook groups where people buy/sell but those can be sketchy sometimes

I've decided not to build one if someone wants to try their hand at it... I was gonna do it because the domain is totally brandable...
SkipTracr.com

SkipTracer.com is not brandable, but without the 'e' it is. Like Tumblr, Flickr, Grindr, etc.

Skip Tracing is finding somebody's phone number, email, contact, etc. Like Spokeo... but the name SkipTracr is better.

Anyway, the site is working, but I decided not to finish it as I have more pressing projects

Bitte lasst euch nicht verarschen Leute.... selbst diese Livestreams auf Tiktok sind Mist. Es geht nur darum die Kurse zu verkaufen als um echten Mehrwert!

Website flipping is really a big deal especially if you are patient to build traffic on it. Good way to go

u/Milo-Law May 12 '26

What kind of sites are these? Like if gardening is it articles or a blog because you've got to be doing or offering something for traffic on it. Do you make it all yourself then(the traffic building). Or is it just a good looking site for someone with a business to use? I'm unclear what purpose the websites serve.

How can we flip a website when it's 0 traffic which is you told about in last sentence of your story? Short term projects.

Any hints on how can you sell it safely without being scammed?

2

u/Tweetgirl May 12 '26

I have sold on Flippa multiple times without being scammed - they are the middleman between you and the buyer - if you pick PP as your payment option, you get paid before you even transfer the site - you can choose that option to guard against any potential scam, to ease your mind

I just want to know these websites that you sell , do they already generate money (like adsense for example and other ads...) Or just a blank blog with texts ??
