Selling Websites on Sitepoint
I have been creating some niche blogs and selling them on Sitepoint. I might soon do the same with other (non-blog) websites.
So far, I have been selling them in the Startup Web Site section.
It has been going ok, but it takes a while to create the content for the sites. That’s why in the future I might do sites without articles, as they will be faster to create. Ironically, the sites without articles will be easier to maintain, as they will be updated automatically.
I will try and remember to post links to my auctions in the sidebar of this blog, in case you are interested in any of the sites.
By the way, I have not been online or posting as much as I would like. I am beginning to wonder if a blog is the best way to go, in my marketing efforts. I guess I am rethinking my business strategy.
I might go more towards having my best advice in an email newsletter. I have not created a newsletter for this blog since I moved to my new domain name of patdoyle.com. I will try to do that soon so that I will have a way to contact you with tips and stuff without having to write a whole blog post every time.
Still, it is nice to have the blog as a “home base”, so I will certainly keep it around, even if I don’t end up posting very often. We’ll see. Try to bear with me as I work these things out. I have been having some issues in my personal life as well, so these things have been taking more time than expected.
Anyway, check out my auctions on Sitepoint. If you are good at creating websites, selling them on Sitepoint can be a way for you to earn some money. If you are not good at creating websites, you can look on Sitepoint for websites to purchase.

Hi Pat,
Itwas nice to see a post from you show up in my feedreader. And psrticularly nice for it to be about this subject as I have anumber of idle blogs and un-used URL’s that I really should just clean up and find aproper home for … ‘been meaning to’ try out SitePoint sales for some time now.
Thanks for the straight talk you always provide and for covering something other than the boring ‘I made $57,000,000 in five minutes’ hucksterism that so many seem to fall into.
If you decide shift to a newsletter format, that’s just dandy too, I’ll certainly be a charter subscriber.
Merry Christmas
Dave
Thanks Dave! Merry Christmas to you too!
Sitepoint is very easy to use, especially if you only accept PayPal, which is what I do.

Hi
I saw you mentioned this:
“the sites without articles will be easier to maintain, as they will be updated automatically”
unfortunately, an automated blog, with free articles, for example, is dead from the start. There is no chance to get more than a few hits each day. Tried a few times and it didn’t work out
Hi Andrei,
You need to get some good links to the sites. They will not get much traffic unless you get links. Getting links will help them rise in the search engine rankings.
(By the way, the sites I’m creating are not using free articles.)
Try getting more links to your sites, and they could still do well.

Hello Pat,
You have an interesting site with some helpful tidbits.
I do have a question for you however. You mentioned that you are not using free articles on your niche blogs. So, how are you getting your content?
Are you writing your own content (which is the time consuming part) or are you purchasing the expertise of a writer from a service like elance.com, digitalpoint.com or getmecontent.com?
If so, any recommendations?
Thanks for the tips!

Hi Mo - yes, content is the time-consuming part. I wrote some of my own content and used some purchased content.
