Buy A Website
There are many options to starting your own website. You can buy a domain
name is not in use, and make it your own. You can buy a domain name that is
already owned but not in use, and make it your own. You can buy a website,
which includes a domain name, which is already up and running and active with
daily visitors. Several different options, which we will cover more in depth below.
Buying A New Unique Domain Name
One of the most affordable ways to get your own website up and running is to
buy a domain name (website name) that is not in use, and building your own
website for your new domain name. A website address, or domain name, is one
of the most important decisions to make. It’s all in the name, it’s what you will
refer people to. It’s what you will talk about. It’s what people need to remember.
It needs to be catchy, unique, simple, short, relevant to what your website is
about so that your website visitors, and the search engines, will know what it is.
Your website name can help you, or it can hurt you, in your search engine
rankings, and in the decision website visitors will make to decide whether to click
on your website name in the search engine results. It needs to be easy to spell,
phonetically make sense.
Now comes the fun part, that is really one of the most important parts of getting
started that will make or break your dream of being successful in your new
business, hobby, or whatever it is that you are building. Sit down and start
thinking about what it is your goals are. What it is that will be on your website,
whether it’s content, products, services, business opportunities, etc. Then start
thinking about names, you will need to come up with ten, twenty, thirty, before
you find one that is not already in use or owned. Then start looking them up to
see if they are available. Don’t get frustrated, most of the ones you think of will
probably already be owned by someone. There are many companies out there
that constantly buy up domain names only to sell them for hundreds and
thousands of times what they pay for them, if they are really good names. Go to
this link and start searching for your perfect domain name.

Buying A Domain Name That Is Owned But Not In Use
If you have the perfect domain name, and it’s already owned, but is not in use,
you can do some internet searching to determine who owns it, or they may have
a simple or parked page up at the website address you can browse to, and
approach them with an offer to purchase it. Sometimes companies no longer
have a need for a particular domain name and they would be willing to transfer
ownership to you at a fair price. But, more often than not, you would be looking
at hundreds to thousands of dollars to buy it from them. So be prepared for
disappointment, and find a unique domain name that is not owned by anyone,
and you can own it usually for less than twenty dollars per year. You can
purchase a domain name diretly from Blue Host at the link above, which is also a
great hosting company where you can host your website as well by purchasing a
hosting plan.
Build Your Website
Paying a professional web developer to build your website is an expensive
adventure. If you have a fairly simple website where you have a lot of content for
your niche, or your business, with images, videos, and affiliate links or shopping
links, you can save that extra cost and make it exactly like you want to buy
building your own. Details on how you can build your own website are here, and

these Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tricks and tips to increase your search
engine rankings.
Sell Your Website
Now that you have built up your website, and are getting high traffic counts,
making a dependable repeating income and profit each month, you may be
thinking that it’s time to cash out and sell your website and do another project
website to buy, build, and sell again to keep growing your wealth. If your website
is an actual business, I recommend engaging with a business broker as they may
save you both time and get you a better offer with their increased visiblity and
expertise that they can bring to the table.
Value of Your Website
Now you need to do the research to figure out what your website is worth. Take a
look at your traffic counts, and the pattern of traffic over the last year. Do not try
to falsely inflate the value by inflating your numbers for a period of time with
extra ppc advertising or other ways of inflating your traffic to try to present a
picture that just is not accurate. If you have specific costs for advertising and
bringing traffic to your website, be sure to include that information to any
potential buyer that may want to buy your website. Advertising costs are fine, as
long as their is income to offset that cost, as well as to make a profit each month.
The value of your website is based on what the real profit is each month over a
period of time. Be completely honest so you don’t fall into the trap of losing trust.
You want to always paint the true picture, and be accurate.
Website Value and Trust
The website for sale listings are literally filled with websites that are failing, or not
profitable, where people have decided to dump it on somebody else, but they
inflate their numbers in certain ways to make a website look like it is growing
tremendously each month and is making a nice profit. These are easy to spot,
and build a bad reputation for the rest of us where it’s getting harder to trust
what is being shared with you is accurate or not falsely inflated for a period of
time. Don’t be that website seller.
Website Seller Reputation
You want to buy, build, and sell your websites. In the process it will be also
building a name for yourself, that you deliver great websites, with great income,
and those counts and numbers continue long after your are gone, for the buyer.
This builds trust. This gives you references, and repeat customers that will buy
your next project. This can also make your websites more valuable.
Marketing Your Website to Sell
Now, where to market your website for sale. There are many social media groups
that are for that particular purpose, but these are usually for the lower cost sites,
and it’s hard to weed through all the bad buyers and the bad sellers with bad
websites to sell. It’s the wild wild west. But, if you have a valuable website, and an
prove that value, there are good buyers and good sellers on those sites as well,
and they will jump on the chance to buy a website that is the real deal, and will
provide ongoing income and profit that will not only pay for the cost of the
webiste itself, but will provide a nice income for the buyer. There are many good
groups that are also full of quality people ready to buy your website, or sell good
websites as well, just be cautious and do you research.
Online Website Buying and Selling
There are also services you can find online to sell your website with, or have them
sell it for you. If you have a website with a fairly high value, it really would be a
good idea to talk to a business broker as it may make sense to sell this as a
business, but that is something to discuss with the experts.
