“Flip that Website!”

You can purchase lousy websites for hardly any money at all. These websites might have a decent product, but bad copywriting and/or the original owner didn’t know how to run the business effectively. You can take over the reprints rights and copyright for this business and use top notch Internet marketing skills to earn more money.

When you buy a website, you will also have to transfer over the domain name. It can take a few weeks, unless you pay a fee and it will happen much quicker.

What was the risk of buying this website? There wasn’t any risk because the website was already making money. You can verify this by finding the actual sales. For example, if they have a Clickbank account you can ask to login to their Clickbank account and see their sales numbers. You can also check out their sales receipts.

Basically, you find a website that is making money, but the owner of the website is motivated to sell it. You buy the website and then sell it to somebody else who wants to make even more money with it. It is very similar to flipping houses in the real estate industry.

So once you buy the lousy website then you need to redesign it and rewrite the copy. This is similar to making improvements on a real estate property.

Tip: When you sell your website, sell it as a package. Make it a complete business in a box. For example, sell your computers with software already installed on them and include the customer’s files. Sell any tools that you need for the business. This will increase the selling price and earn you more money.

Tip: Sell items that people want to buy in a market that doesn’t have much competition. Use Internet marketing techniques to sell the items. You can always sell more or different items on the Internet in the future.

Tip: Go to http://ww.wordtracker.com to find out what people are searching for on the Internet each week. What they search changes throughout the week and year. For example, science fair projects may be searched for more in the spring. This can help you find websites to flip.

“Don’t Let this Happen to your Business!”

What are the effects of not having a properly structured business? Your assets are at significant risk! Lawsuits can go after your property, your bank accounts, your business, etc. You and your business are extremely vulnerable. Your business could be foreclosed and your bank account drained dry.

Never hold real estate or businesses in your name. It doesn’t matter what type of business you have. You could have a software company or a deli, it doesn’t matter. Let me repeat – never have a business in your own name.

What do you have to do to start your “own” business? All you have to have is a profit motive. You have to have the intent to make a profit. The tax codes and laws favor people that run their own business. If you have your own business then you can slash your taxes.

The minute you make money your asset columns grow. If you are in business then your next move is to make money again. If you want to build lasting wealth then you can’t have a one shot deal. You have to have the desire to continually make money.

People won’t sue you if you don’t have money. People will wait until you make money. Once they see that you have enough money then they will sue you. So it’s great to make more money, but with more money comes a higher potential to be sued. However, you can thwart these lawsuits if you have the right corporate structuring knowledge.

Think about what you want to do with the money you earn. Do you want to travel? Do you want to buy a boat? Does the way you run your business favor these activities? Don’t forget about taxes. Every week taxes chip away at the money you could use for these activities. If you are employed by a corporation or other business then taxes are automatically taken out of your paycheck. These continual taxes make it more difficult to build lasting wealth.

Also don’t forget about lawsuits. Lawsuits can hit you without notice and grab huge chunks of your money. Your dream vacation can be down the tubes in the blink of an eye. Basically, taxes and lawsuits can make it hard to get ahead financially.

The bottom line is to not have businesses in your own name. Learn the business structure of successful entrepreneurs. They have learned how to protect their assets and run a thriving business.

Warmest regards,
