An easy way to do it: Buy undervalued and poorly monetized but well-established sites on flippa, optimize advertising and grow traffic, resell on Flippa in a few months. If you've got $XXXXX to play with you can pick up some incredible bargains for a quick flip. EDIT: I didn't see that you only had one month. This is still feasible, but would require some paid traffic/PPC skill to pull off.

Have you down this? Are there sites on flippa that make for steady monthly passive income with minimal seo work?

  I haven't done this at a large scale(most of my bigger Flippa sales have been web services I built myself) but I routinely see sites on Flippa with decent traffic and authority that are very poorly monetized. If you can optimize the advertising to appeal to your target market, maybe line up some direct media buys or premium ad networks, you can do very well without worrying about SEO or increasing traffic.

I've always been curious as to how this is actually accomplished. I have never had success in selling small websites. Love to learn more about this. If you can elaborate on the process, please do..

  Generally on Flippa is that sites sell for more when they have at least one of the following (preferably more): over a year old high PageRank lots of inlinks steady profit lots of unique content If you can buy a site with decent traffic and PR for say $300, take 3-6 months to put more content on it (50 x $2/article) , build backlinks ($50), and do a little PPC to increase traffic and Alexa rank ($100), revenue and profit should increase to the point where you can sell the site for about $1000+.

  I sold a website on Flippa for $90k. The site sold a single WordPress plugin I wrote and was selling for $97 per license.

    Very cool, how long were you running the site before you sold it?
