Introduction
Before I start, let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Lei and I am full time internet
marketer making $20.000 per month. However, I was not born as internet marketer,
there is bunch of hard work behind it. My story starts when I was 14. I found a
girlfriend and I needed couple of dollars to invite her to a cinema or buy her a cup of
coffee. It was not easy, because I really did not know where to start. I decided to
make some websites for people and shops in my local area. I have made my first
$200. It is not much but I was happy with that. Two years later, I scaled it up to $500
per month creating e-shops. In next years, I tried almost everything – AdSense,
YouTube, Facebook and many more methods. Nevertheless, nothing was as much
effective as website flipping. Now, 7 years later after my first dollar, I am able to
make $240.000 per year. If you want, you are surely able to make even much more.
You do not need to have any coding/designing skills. There are only 3 things you
need - read, think about things you read and work. Then add a little twist and you will
be money making guru in a matter of days.
I am not selling this ebook because I want to make money with it. I just do not want
to share it with everyone. Though this niche is very huge, everything can get
saturated. Only people who aren‟t afraid to risk a little can get it and make tons of
money with this most complex website flipping guide. I really hope you will enjoy it!
Please remember that I will not give you exact method on how to make money. I am
going to teach you how to create these methods.
I do not wish you luck, it is not about luck at all. WORK HARD

Tips to be successful
Common ways to success
Everyone wants to achieve success, but it is easier said than done. Firstly, being
successful is NOT a thing that can be done in few days. It is all about hard work
and self-confidence. You can dramatically increase your chances of becoming
successful in whatever you choose to pursue by following these advices:
1) Study success and think about it
Imagine yourself being successful, because the more accurately you imagine your
success, the easier it will be for you to achieve it. You cannot have success if you do
not know what it really means for you. Defining the meaning of success can increase
your productivity. Find people who are already successful and get inspired or even
become their apprentice. Do not be lazy to ask them for an advice.
2) Create checkpoints and define goals
Journey to success is long and it is quite hard to stay motivated during it. You can
simply avoid this by creating checkpoints. Prize yourself for every completed
checkpoint, it should make you more confident about yourself. Then you will finally
fulfill your goals.

3) Avoid distractions
I will talk about this later in Time management. So many distractions do not let us do
things we really want to do. These distractions can be used as prize. Allow yourself
30 minutes of Facebook for every 4 hours of work or a new website you made.
4) Take risks
Successful people make big investments and all investments involve risk. Instead of
being scary, study your risks, make sure the odds are in your favor and then take a
leap.
5) Solve problems
People who are successful encourage progress by solving problems and answering
questions. Think about these questions for a while every day. How can you make
your life easier? How can you work effectively?
6) Self development
Self development makes you better. Develop your skills, strengths and talents so that
you can achieve your full potential and get better results.
7) Accept failure and be persistent
Behind every success, there is a failure. Accept it and do not give up! If your first
attempt did not work, do not quit everything you have done. One day, you are surely
going to succeed.

Time management
If you are serious, you need time. How much? It depends on how much money you would like to make. You can double or even triple your real work you do just by
managing time.
Everyone use Facebook, email or so. I call these sites „distraction sites‟, as they do
not let you work full time. Three years ago, I always had a separate tab for Facebook
and I was checking it frequently. Then I managed to dedicate some time (30
minutes or so) for these distractions one or two times per day. In the rest of the
day, I do not let them distract me. Results are awesome! I am 300% more
productive. I can do 3 days work in a day.
If you work only few hours a day, you should find your hours. Some people are
much more productive in the morning, others in the evening. Planning a schedule for
your day would also help you get better result. At the time you wake up, make a little
schedule about what will you do that day. Do not forget to involve basic daily
activities (e.g. bodybuilding or self development) that also eat time. Then start
completing these tasks. Never switch between them as it would distract you. When
you are tired, take a little pause – you will stay fresh and energetic. Try to set time
limit for completing and prize yourself after it is successfully done. Do the hard & ugly work at the beginning when you are still fresh and motivated.
Tips for making money online
You will maybe think I am stupid after reading these advices. Believe me or not, it
simply works. Improvements of productivity are clear. Try it yourself and you will be
amazed.
1) Save and arrange your files
It may require lots of time to arrange all your files, but it will save you many hours you
spend searching files you really need.

2) Try everything
Try every method and do not be aware of new things. You have nothing to loose, you
will just learn from your experience.
3) Think big, start small
You will not make $1000 on the very first day of your work. Start off with few bucks a
day and then scale it up.
4) Be honest with yourself
Never ever lie to yourself. If you get used to do that, at the end you will find yourself
just doing the easy and lazy stuff because you are always convincing yourself that it
is better this way.
5) Don’t get distracted
When you make money online, you are employer of yourself. You have no boss who
forces you to do your tasks. It is easy to get distracted. Using Facebook, reading
emails or chatting significantly eat your time.
6) Make online friends who are also making money online
Online friends can answer your questions, help you or do any other simple stuff that
you will not be able to get anywhere if you do not have them.
7) Don’t switch between things you do
When you are doing something, finish it before you start doing anything else. Don‟t
switch to another method that looks easier and you think you will make more cash
implementing it. Do not fall in that trap.

8) Think twice
There is no money without work. You will not get rich easily and quickly. Do not be
scared of work. Well decide what can bring you money and what is just scam that
brings money to someone else. Compare good and bad points, search for user
experiences and discuss with your moneymaking friends.
9) Stay updated and invest in yourself
Internet is dynamic and method that brought you success yesterday does not have to
bring you success anymore. Stay updated about new methods. Invest in yourself and
learn new things. Nothing you learn is wasted and someday it will help you.
Conclusion
Even though you maybe think these general things are not going help you any way
and it‟s just waste of time, think about them. These tips make your work more
effective, less time consuming and your effort will be rewarded.

Website Flipping
Definition
“Website flipping is the art of buying, improving and selling websites. The term
comes from the property industry where investors will buy a property, renovate it to
add value, and then sell it at a higher price. Website flipping is essentially the same
process online. An investor, or investment group, buys an established website, adds
value to it and then sells the site at a higher price. With the cost of entry into domain
flipping increasing, following the sharply increasing valuations of domain names,
website flipping has become more financially accessible to the average investor
compared to domain name investment.”
WebsiteFlipping.com
We are going to add a little twist. As we have no capital, we cannot afford to buy
websites. Instead of buying, we will easily create them, monetize them and then
sell them. After making some money, you can fulfill this definition and buy websites.
What you need
There is no need of much money. Actually, you do not need anything at all, but it is
recommended to invest few dollars to get better results. Here is a little list:
1) Hosting
2) Domain
3) Interesting & low competition niche
4) Creativity and will to work
Creating successful website that makes money
These easy steps will probably result in a successful website that can be sold for
hundreds or even thousand dollars. Try to add your twist as it can help you get
even more successful.
Get a hosting
I would recommend you to choose one that allows unlimited domains. You will not
have to buy new hosting account for every new website you will make. Everyone has
ULTIMATE WEBSITE FLIPPING GUIDE © Hu Lei, All rights reserved

its own favorite webhosting service. I use HostGator for couple of years and I am
satisfied. Plan with unlimited domains (Baby Plan) starts at $6 per month. Link:
www.hostgator.com (affiliate link – please support me). If you cannot afford to buy
hosting, you can always choose one of free webhosting companies, but they will
probably put their ads on your site.
Find a niche
When selling a product, many people make the mistake of developing their product
first and then trying to find a market for it. Of course, the process should be
reversed. Deciding on what product or service you will promote in a niche market
should be based on a simple principle. There have to be a demand for your
product or service. You want to offer something that people actually need,
something that will make their lives better, make them feel better physically, make
them look better, or help them solve a problem.
There is no easy knowhow on how to find a niche. Be aware of trends and
current events in the real world. Read magazines, watch news, listen to radio and
think of something than could be successful. If something impresses you, make
notes. Then look deeper.
Begin with checking out hot trends. Use Google Trends, Google Insights,
HotWords.com, Yahoo Buzz, eBay Pulse and Delicious Popular. These sites simply
help you find what is popular right now. Once you have an idea of which niche you
want to target, it is time to determine its profitability. For this, you would have to
use the tools: Google Keyword Tool and WordTracker. Simply type in the idea you
have in mind and press the submit button. You will get list of keywords, which are
related to the term you have entered with monthly search rate and competition in this
keyword. For your main keyword, you should want at least 5 000 searches per
month and low competition. The bigger the completion is, the harder it will be for
you to dominate your niche.
Get a domain related to your niche
You have two options – register new or buy old & high PageRank domain.
Registering new domain is cheaper and easier. However, your PageRank will be
lower and of course the higher the PR is, the more you will sell your site for.
Same thing with domain age, aim for 1 year old domains at least.
ULTIMATE WEBSITE FLIPPING GUIDE © Hu Lei, All rights reserved

Registering new domain: Firstly, do not buy anything else than .com domain if
you want to be successful. Other domains (.info, etc.) are cheaper but it is harder to
make money with them and they cannot be sold for as much money as .com
domains. GoDaddy offers .com domains for $7.49 using promo code “promo749”.
Link: www.godaddy.com (affiliate link – please support me). If you cannot afford .com
domain, you can register free .tk domain at Dot.tk, but in my opinion, it is just waste
of time as you probably will not make much money using this domain.
Buying old, high PR domain: You need some money to buy an old domain. I would
suggest you buying PR 3 or higher domain, it is not worth to buy lower PR
domains because it is easy to achieve PageRank 1 and 2. If you want to invest little
more, try RegisterCompass.com or YourMainDomain.com. Websites like these two
are the best place to get easy old and high PR domain. Nevertheless, there are
cheaper places to get these domains, you just need more time to find them. Try
GoDaddy auctions, Flippa (the site you will later sell your site on) or large
communities like Digital Point and Warrior Forum.
Install & Set up Wordpress
As I said before, you do not need ANY coding/designing skills. Wordpress has
done the coding/designing work for us. It looks professional and the installation is
simple.
How to install Wordpress? Almost every hosting allows its users to use quick auto
installation script. Just few clicks and your website is ready. Otherwise, follow this
guide.
After installation, sign in to the admin panel, go to Settings section and take some
time to set details of your site. Then find an eye catchy template from Wordpress
Theme Directory via Appearance > Themes in the admin panel.

ahead to Wordpress Codex.
Install & Set up Wordpress plugins
Wordpress itself is awesome. It can do almost anything and it has a good potential
to make money, because your site looks professionally. You can increase this
potential by installing these plugins. Your site is going to be better optimized for

Fill your website with high-quality niche-related content
Content is the most important part of your website. Your content has to be
unique. If you have not got at least few unique articles, you will not get indexed in
Google as they hate copycats. Next important factor is quality. Quality content
plays a very decisive role in determining the value of the website. Any website
with a poor content is bound to be ignored by many buyers. Poor content is an
indication that the website was dealt by an unprofessional, and hence is very unlikely
to attract any high paying buyers.
If you are not able to write high-quality article, outsource it. Lots of gigs on Fiverr
offers 200-400 words article for $5. Make sure to have minimum of 3 unique
articles about your main keyword per website! Otherwise, your hard work will be
wasted, because you simply will not get indexed in Google.

Improve SEO
We have already done some search engine optimization by installing SEO plugins to
Wordpress, but it is not enough. Follow these simple steps to get even better
optimized.
SEO Friendly URLs: great way to show Google that your webpage‟s content is
relevant to the desired keyword, is by including your main keyword in the webpage
URL, how to do it in WordPress.
Robots.txt file: robots.txt can tell search engine‟s robots (spiders) not to crawl or
index selected webpages in your website; you can set path to sitemap here, how to
do it in WordPress.
Quality external links: if you link to external websites, always link to RELATED
webpages with high PR only; do not link your websites that aren‟t related! Avoid
sponsored themes with links in footer that can suck your Page Rank.
Using keywords in articles: do not repeat your keyword in articles too much,
keyword density around 5% is okay; bold 1 or 2 of them.

content” SEO brownies points, and give search engines another reason to come
back frequently

Monetize your website
We are almost done. You have nice, high-quality, search engines optimized website
with unique content. It is time to make money from your hard work. I will talk about
3 basic methods that will definitely bring you money. Monetization is optional, but
remember that your site sells for more money if it is making money.
Google AdSense
Google AdSense is the most common revenue generators for blogs and websites
and probably the most easier way how to earn money, start to make some
income, if you got already niche blog and some traffic. You get money for every
click on the ad. Once you set up AdSense, you can just monetize, test and forget
about it, it is as simple as that. AdSense is related to your content – displayed ad is
based on keywords.
To display AdSense in WordPress, use Easy AdSense Lite plugin. Register new
AdSense account.
Clickbank
When using Clickbank, you become an 'affiliate' which means you get paid
commission for making sales of other people's products. You are given an
affiliate link, which leads the customer to the sales site and identifies you as the

person who gets credit if a sale is made. They are in fact the largest provider of
digital products - essentially ebooks and software. You can choose from thousands
of products in many categories and their affiliate program is simple to join. The
average commission rate is 55%. Register new ClickBank account.
Example of monetizing: You have a review blog, you are reviewing a ClickBank product
related to your niche and put an affiliate link at the end of the review.
CPA
Cost per action is an online advertising model, where the advertiser pays for each
specified action (purchase, survey, email submission…). In practice, your CPA
network gives you list of CPA offers and you try to convince/force your visitors to
fill them up. Be creative and you are surely going to discover an interesting method
to convince/force them to do it. There are plenty of these CPA networks. I would
recommend you PeerFly or CPAlead (affiliate links – please support me). You can
make $1 - $50 per 1 filled survey depending on type of action.
Example of monetizing: Many CPA networks (including CPAlead) offer “Content
Locker”. This useful tool allows you to deny access to the website/part of website and
only allow access after filling up a CPA offer. Imagine having website with premium
section that is locked using a content locker.
Selling website
You have successfully ended the process of creating and monetizing website. Now
you have two options – keep the website, improve it and make money from it OR sell
it. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. It is your choice. I will talk about
selling.
Selling website on Flippa
The best place for selling websites is Flippa. Flippa is the number one
marketplace for buying and selling websites. All sellers simply love it because it has
the highest sales rate in the industry – largely due to the massive size and quality
of the Flippa website buyer audience.
Use eye-catching title, and write a nice, well-arranged description. Bold text, use
colors, and add pictures. Look at Just Sold websites and inspire yourself. Invest in a
highlighted listing, front page listing and other options in order to expose your
ULTIMATE WEBSITE FLIPPING GUIDE © Hu Lei, All rights reserved

listing to more buyers, which boosts your selling chance for a high price. Start with a
low price bidding, it makes your listing more active.
