Comment on Why I’m not selling Upstart Blogger on Flippa by Richard S Davies

Might be worth selling UB as a business? BusinessesForSale.com has a few sites on there, but if you are looking for $100k plus, and you can justify that price, it might be worth listing it there? Might have more chance of finding someone who doesn’t necessarily know a lot about the net, but looking to invest?

That’s exactly the kind of thing that I noticed happening. Lots of people building blogs and then using every trick in the book to offload them as quickly as possible. Again, it’s not Flippa’s fault, nor PayPal’s, it’s just that Flippa seems to attract an awful lot of bad sellers.

My experience with Flippa hasn’t been good. I bought a small site, paid for it, soon after the site (server) failed, seller attempted or at least made signs that he was working on it. That went on for a couple of weeks, in the end I suggested he perhaps just refunded me and we looked at it again once it was all back up and running. This is when he dissappeared.

Flippa can’t do anything, the don’t hold any money. Paypal won’t do anything because it’s technically a digital transaction – nothing “to hold and smash on the floor” (in their words).

Just one bad experience I know, but still, it leaves a bad taste.

Thanks Luke. I think that my aversion to Flippa comes from some of the people that are so heavily pushing it. Not you, I hasten to add. And that group of people are advocating the sort of domain buying tactics that make my skin crawl. Building websites quickly, just to flip them and make a quick buck. When in reality those quickly built sites are absolutely worthless. In terms of traffic and reputation Upstart Blogger is very old school and I think that an equally old school approach to selling, in order to move things to the next level, is probably the best bet.

However, the fact that you have taken the time to contact me speak volumes about you and your company. Perhaps I was too quick to speak critically of Flippa when, as I said, my real problem is with some of your customers and an issue that no company can control.

Ashley, it’s a shame you’re not interested in listing on Flippa. Although there are plenty of low-end sites being bought and sold, we do also regularly list larger online businesses. Over the last 2 days we’ve seen a $70k and a $90k auction and Retweet.com is just about to sell for over $150k. If you change your mind, let me know.

I think I get it but I’m not sure. But if I’m correct in my hypothesis I can’t help but wonder why on earth you are doing this.

Comment on How to make thousands of dollars every day by writing a Twitter eBook and marketing it with your own affiliate program by Paul Johanson

You seem to be forgetting one very important point. People have to design a sales page and make their blog look attractive before they can make the big money. You’re lucky, you can design, you know how to make a Wordpress theme that looks professional and is abel to sell. I think you’re making it sound a little too easy.

Thanks for this, I’ll give it a try. How easy is it to use the Pay Dot Com system to automate order fulfillment?

Also I can’t even describe the irony in a generic list/post-which was created specifically in the attempts to become viral on Twitter, by a site pushing a web hosting service??? Doesn’t that put this post/site in half of the above mentioned categories?

By this logic there is no one remaining or worthwhile left to follow on Twitter, other than your mom, dad and little sister (although she may fall under #19).
