Right now I’m kind of re-grouping/starting fresh again. I will do a little more planning, and then probably focus on developing just a handful of sites and give them 100% of my focus.

Trading for Development

Even though I really enjoy the process of developing my sites on my own, and also think that I’m quite good at it, I’m going to let Epik.com do some more sites for me. Time has been “quite” limited for me lately, and I just can’t produce sites for all the domains that I want. I’ll stick to a few that I’ll handle myself, and let Epik take care of the rest!

There is a quite steep $249/site cost for setting up the sites, but I’ve traded some domains for Epik Bucks, so I have credit for about 10 more sites + 5 that I already own (3 of them in development right now). Though this might change since I have some bids in for the SwapFest auction tomorrow, but that just gives me sites as well and domains that go along with them.

As it has been reported on some other sites, the earnings hasn’t been great from the Epik product portals. But I like the setup, and I think it will come around eventually as Rob and the guys tweaks the setups and features!

For the past months I’ve occasionally been browsing through, and placing a few bids on Flippa.com. But I’ve never actually bought or posted anything for sale there. So I thought it was time to try it out for real by putting up a site for auction!

I’ve been thinking about putting up sites for auctions at Flippa.com for a while – But in the end I’ve always ended up posting the sites for sale on forums like NamePros or DNForum instead. I think that one of the reasons for that is that I’ve been wanting to avoid the $19 listing fee on Flippa. Mainly because it has been simple sites without any revenue to talk about sold for under $100.

Selling an Amazon Affilate Site

For my first auction I’ve decided to let go of one of my most successful sites – Dual DVD Player. The site has earned a little over $100 from Amazon Affilate sales, since December 2009. I listed the auction with a starting bid of $150, which I think is quite fare. There is also a BIN price of $600, which I would be happy to sell it for!

Since this is my first try at Flippa, I’ve got no idea about how it will end. The auction ends 7 days from now (16th Mars), and I’ll make sure to post an update when it´s over!

Uppdate

The auction got quite much action close to the ending, and ended up selling for $325. Overall I’m very happy with the result, and will list more sites for sale in the near future!

Have you sold or bought anything from Flippa? I would love to hear your thoughts about it here in the comment section!
