Who’s Behind The Website Flip?
Hey, Mushfiq here! My team and I have been buying, growing, and flipping online businesses since 2008. Our first website in the VoIP vertical was acquired in 2010 by a prominent media company. Since then, we’ve transacted on 215+ websites to date with several 6-figure exits.
I started this newsletter, The Website Flip, to document my team’s journey with case studies, and help newcomers understand the website flipping space. No fluff. Straight actionable content.
Follow on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn! Also, you can hire me to help you build a content business.
Questions About Website Flipping
We receive many questions. Here are answers to the most common ones:
What is website flipping?
Website flipping is the idea of building or buying a content website, growing revenues, and then selling it. The goal is to sell the website for more than you bought it for, thus profiting. The debate whether to build vs buy a niche site is a personal decision, but both have pros and cons.
The skillsets needed for website flipping include search engine optimization (SEO), niche research, market research, monetization research, conversion rate optimization (CRO), and project management. Many of these tasks can be outsourced to specialists if need be.
Make sure to check out the website flipping course for a detailed deep dive into the concepts.
How do I become a website flipper?
The process of getting started can be boiled down to these high-level steps:
- Decide on if you are going to build a site from scratch or buy one
- If buying, find a website to buy from different brokers, marketplaces, or private sellers
- Perform website due diligence
- Negotiate back and forth with the broker or seller to determine its worth
- Acquire the site and transfer ownership to your accounts
- Grow the site’s traffic and revenues
- Position the site for sale
- Flip the website for profit
- Rinse and repeat
Is website flipping profitable?
Yes, website flipping is profitable. The Website Flip has done 215+ website acquisitions, which we’ve bought, grown, and sold. Several of these acquisitions have been 6-figure exits. Here are the numbers behind a few of our flips:
- Wellness website: acquired for $5,650 in July 2020 and sold in December 2020 for $30,100. The site was earning $300/mo and when sold it was earning $936/mo.
- Dating website: acquired for $32,000 in early 2019 earning about $1,000/mo. The site currently earns $9,000/mo. The site is valued at $315,000 to $350,000.
- Outdoor website: acquired for $23,000 in April 2020. The site was earning $300/mo. We scaled the site to earn $3,000 to $6,000 per month depending on the time of the year. The site valued at $140,000 to $160,000.
As you can see, website flipping is profitable. When growing a site, we are building up the monthly income and simultaneously the website asset value. It’s this two-pronged approach that makes the business model lucrative.
This was a selection of our website flips that we have niche site case studies for. For insights across most of our website flips since 2018, read this write-up.
How are website valuations calculated?
On average in 2022, content websites are selling at 35 to 45 times monthly average profits, or in other words 2.9 to 3.75 times annual profits. The average profits are calculated usually using the profits from the last 6-months or last 12-months (if the niche is seasonal).
Example: if a site is earning $1,000 per month on average across the last 6-months, then the site can sell for around $35,000 to $45,000.
Read the detailed framework on website valuations.
Where can I buy and sell websites?
For more information on where to buy a website, check out this guide on website brokers. If you are looking to sell a website, check out The Website Flip Brokerage services.
Can I invest into websites without operating?
Yes! We did a deep dive write-up into website investment funds. The operator of the fund raises money, acquires the websites, and operates them. It’s hands-off for the investors.
The alternative is to hire dedicated website operators, who will manage the day-to-day of your website portfolio on your behalf. In return, they usually charge a fixed fee plus equity.
