Building in Public: How I've Created a Money-Making Niche Website Flipping Business
I've been website-flipping for years now. I follow a formula, and it works.
Do this, do that, do it this way, prepare it that way. Follow the recipe, and it's like turning on a money machine. It's funny to refer to it that way.
Nothing is guaranteed, of course, but I've seen so much success with this, and my website-flipping students are also seeing success.
Here's the proof…
If you have time, energy, and a tiny budget, website flipping is a fun and rewarding side business to create for yourself.
I've decided to do a thing…
I'm building in public (kind of)
This feels like a group consulting session.
I don't do much consulting because I usually don't have the time, but Abena Talks inspired me to try something new.
I joined her Gumroad email newsletter, and she wrote about selling these packages where she helps you grow a Medium business, a Vocal Media business, etc.
It was a really smart idea.
I thought, "wow, how smart..I wish I had the time to do something like that…."
I'm sure she has a really great team behind her to help manage that whole endeavor.
What makes consulting and one-on-one help within reach for a busy entrepreneur, other than having a big team behind them, is structuring it in a group setting.
Put it into a Facebook group or a Discord or a group Zoom session, etc.
That way, you can teach once (or once a week) to a group of people instead of having 100 different one-on-one sessions.
I've never done this, but I'm going to give it a try.
And so, the website flipping group coaching program was born!
The Website Flipping Group Coaching Program
The name is yet to be determined, but here's what I have in mind…
- Starting in about 2–3 weeks
- Includes material + group coaching
- Collaborative work environment (like a Facebook group, Discord, etc.)
- Limited to 10 people
- It will last four weeks long
This will be a small, close-knit group of people who are serious about learning and succeeding with website flipping.
This is for you if:
- You want to learn website flipping and, get my help coaching, and work alongside others online
- You have about an hour or week available (or more) to work on this
- You have a small budget available to invest in this business (up to $50-$100 to buy web hosting and domain, etc.)
- You have internet access and can access tools like Discord, Facebook, etc.
This is not for you if:
- You don't have time (at least an hour a week) to dedicate to this project
- You don't have internet access or access to the above tools mentioned (Discord, Facebook, etc.)
- You don't have money to invest in building a website (around up to $50 to $100)
The goal is to help each of the ten people in the program build and flip a website.
At the end of the four weeks, participants would have done something tangible, like build a website. Ideally, build and flip a website but, selling a site can take time sometimes so, not everyone in the program would have flipped a website in the 4-week timeframe.
But all ten should have at least built the site and have the tools to sell in the future.
That's what I have in mind, and I'll be announcing more news about this soon.

How have I learned this money-making skill of website flipping?
Through a lot of trial and error.
When I first started flipping sites, a lot of people weren't talking about it. I went in feet first, and it worked!
Then, I did it again and again and again.
I was flipping tons of sites every year and helping others sell theirs. Then, I launched a course to reach even more people. Then, my ebook.
Now, I want to do more, and the next step is with coaching, I think. Holding someone's hand through the process as they learn about building and flipping websites.
Does this sound interesting?
