When you sell your passion project, this happens...
Hey there,
I sold my latest passion project and this happened…
Before I get into what actually happened, let me explain a bit.
My passion project was a starter website
It took me a few hours to create it
I loved the look, feel, and operation of it
I sold it as a part of project I was working on, to teach others my process
So, what happened?
The feeling of addiction began to set in, again.
A good addiction though.
If you've sold businesses or sold websites, you know what I mean. One of my internet friends sold her blog several years back, then went on to sell another and another. Then, started helping others with their business sales. Now she makes $90K/month doing it!
She spoke about the “addictive” feeling you get when you sell a business.
It's a rush, in the best possible way. You sell one and you just want to keep going.
One of my website-flipping students has even done over $35,000 in website sales!
Here's the proof…
The site I sold was a microblog. I create these all the time.
This one was an easy setup, with a few pieces of published content and it sold in a few weeks. The one before this sold in about a week and before that, I've even sold sites in 24 hours.
I love starter sites because they are easy to create and they are in demand.
Even if you sell one for $100 profit. For only taking a few hours to create it, that can earn you $30 to $50+ an hour for your time. Then, if you scale a project like this, selling sites at say, $250 each, then…
$250/site X 10 sites a month = $2,500/month
Not a bad side hustle, right?
Heck, I was living on $2,500/month full-time when I working my 9-to-5 job some years back.
Anyway, anything is possible when you're working your passion project.
My website flipping course, The Art of the Microflip is available, if flipping websites is something you've been curious to start. It shows you how to create a full-fledged website flipping business including teaching you how to build and grow starter sites and seasoned sites.
If you want something more beginner-friendly, check out my ebook, Flipping It! This is an introduction to website flipping and it really lays the foundation for what you want to learn from flipping websites. It'll show you how to build and sell starter websites for profit.
Have you done website flipping before? What has your experience been?
Cheers,
Jenn
