Thousands of people make money online with hundreds of different methods. They may do freelance work designing web sites or programming to name a couple.

Buying and flipping websites is one widely used method, but many people think you have to buy expensive sites and flip them for a ton of money to get any real profit. That would require large investments that not everyone has available. This is not so. I will tell you how to flip sites with just a basic HTML knowledge and photo shop ability.

First find a site that has websites for sale. Look through the listings for a clean simple site with a decent domain name. You aren’t looking for a killer niche or anything premium. You just need something decent. Try to get something under $20.

One thing you will need for almost any avenue of online money making is photo editing ability. People like sites that are appealing to the eyes, with unique headers and logos. You want to be pretty fast at editing and put up some custom graphics.

To market the site for sale, always bring out every sigle positive trait of the site. Tell them the content is hand written, the logos are unique and the header was custom made. Talk about the domain name if it’s a decent one.

List the site on ebay for $1. That seems super low since you may have spent $20 on it, but that isn’t where you get the money from. Their are tons of new guys looking to buy sites on Ebay. If they are new they will need hosting. You can offer the $1 price if they sign up for hosting under your affiliate link.

Hostgator has a good affiliate program. Each new sign-up you bring them gets you $50. That is a quick way to double your investment.
