Check out http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/ http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/ - it has a bunch of websites for sale.
I went there after reading NY Times article a couple days ago.. its the largest such marketplace. "$729k in websites sold in 18 months". All and all, kind of cool, but still an emerging industry. Reminds me of domain names a few years back. If you can code well, you can probably make a lot more money selling sites to clients who have money.
The opportunities I saw:
1) Buy a site that has traffic existing customers/visitors (will cost 1-3X profits). This could be a way to validate a product/service idea, and then make it better.
2) Build scripts for websites that you can license repeatedly for $200-$1k.
- josefresco 18y agoI've shopped for and sold a web business on the SitePoint marketplace (went for around $3K), and it's a fairly decent way to make money. Many people operate by building quick affiliate based sites, growing traffic and then selling it with "proven income" to someone for 1-3K 6 months (or less time depending on how good you are at driving traffic).
- rob 18y agoSitePoint's marketplace is great (I built a site and sold it there half a year later for $12,000); I'd avoid the buy/sell/trade forum on DigitalPoint, however -- there's a lot of scammers there and half of them can't speak English correctly.
