Entering a World of Money-Making Websites

Build Your Online Business Now

Considering that you are reading John Chow dot Com, I’ll go out on a limb and say that you’re probably interested in making money online. Each of you may bring a slightly different skill set to the table. Some of you may be interested in affiliate marketing, others in freelance writing, and others still in professional blogging.

One of the biggest hurdles that you will face with any endeavor is the inevitable learning curve. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just start making money right away? That seems to be the idea behind Websites for Sale World, which serves as the subject for today’s review. From this site, you can you grab a wide range of turnkey businesses that require no prior knowledge or expertise.

Get Started with Turnkey Online Business

While its name may lead you to believe that you can buy individual websites for the purpose of making money, Websites for Sale World is actually a membership-based site that grants you access to all the resources all at once.

Entering a World of Money-Making Websites?

Available as a UK version or a US version, Websites for Sale World offers “all types of turnkey packages ready to start making money.” This includes not only the raw website files themselves, but also information on how to earn money from Clickbank, AdSense, Amazon, eBay, and so on.

My initial reaction to Websites for Sale World was not a positive one. It seems to be completely lacking in any of its own branding, not offering a unique logo or header image at all. The rotating banners at the top lack in professionalism and the same can be said about the site in general. A simpler, cleaner layout could work wonders.

Types of Sites for Sale

Navigating a little further down the main page, you’ll see the different types of websites that come with a membership to Websites for Sale World.

These site templates, like the ones for Amazon or online travel, come pre-populated with products and services for sale. The sites are meant to be completely turnkey, so you can start making money right away.

According to the documentation, the sites will update themselves too, so you only need to focus your attention on driving targeted traffic to your site. Naturally, you’ll need to provide your own domain and hosting too.

Flipping Ringtones and Wallpapers for Profit

One example of the available websites for sale in this “world” is the ringtones website. From this site, you have the opportunity to sell ringtones, wallpapers, screensavers, games, and other mobile content. You can check out the live demo to get a better sense of what you can expect.

The layout is relatively easy to understand, but it makes me feel more like I’m looking at a simple landing page or a parked domain page. The profitability can be good, though, if you manage to get the right traffic to the site.

As an example, Websites for Sale World says that you can sell a cell phone wallpaper image for £3.00 to earn a commission of €1.38. Expanding this example to include 110 sales of various mobile products each day, they say that you can earn a profit of €47,772 a year.

How Much Does It Cost?

To go along with the eight turnkey websites (and counting), Websites for Sale World also offers a number of bonus items to go with your paid membership.

There are SEO tutorials, monetization tutorials, “free software to help you in building your websites,” information on website flipping, a list of over 2000 wholesale suppliers, and e-books on building an e-book empire and making money from ClickBank.

Interestingly, joining the membership network is not a monthly subscription. Instead, joining Websites for Sale World comes at a one-time cost of £149 through the UK site. Alternatively, you can hit up the American site and pay $246.

Very professional sites. I think it fills a niche but isnt for everyone.

I think entering the world of making money is very good. But planning out things is even more important. What more newbies do is read ebooks,reports,blogs etc etc but never implement the ideas. Hence they tend to fail in whatever they do.

Now, when it comes to making site, for example you try to make your first blog. Buy all the hosting, domain install WP a premium theme etc.

At the same time outsource the articles and hire SEo experts to build backlinks. But then to see quick results they forget to give time to the site. hence, they loose the excitement and forget about the whole project.

Creating a whole new empire of blogs is very difficult but easy when you see a bigger picture.

Its great view as one thinks to make money by making websites. I think this kind of world can be very effective as stated in this post.

It just seems as if purchasing another website would cause more trouble in the begining trying to work out someone elses kinks. I think starting everything from scratch is so much better. I am no guru on this topic and I am still learning, bt I just thought I'd give my opinion. I started my blog site and it already starts out with my own touch.

The one thing I dislike is that they iwll sell the same site to thousands of people, you'll basically be running a clone site.

Exactly, there are already tons of clone sites on the net, do we need more?

Turnkey websites are great for newbies because, you will save time and effort in the design, sales copy and the product that you're selling.

However, buying a turnkey website will not make you any money. The money is in what you do with the turnkey website. This means MARKETING.

Write articles, post to forums, buy traffic to your turnkey website and see if it makes sales. You also need to modify your website to make it better so more development is needed.

The problem with people buying turnkey websites is that they think they would make money without any work. It's not as easy as that. Why would people sell websites if it was that easy to make money hands free?

The post is very encouraging for me!I found the reflection of my ideas there!Thanks much!

I don't think these types of business will be helpful to buyers. It's only for Sellers income opportunity.

It's really a new thing for me. Is it still working.? I am a bit confused about this article. :(

Before I got involved with affiliate marketing in 2006, this is exactly what I did. Selling turnkey websites was a huge business, but the sizzle settled down in about 2008. eBay started banning the sale of digital items, where most designers "flipped" these sites and a lot of people lost interest. Would be interesting to see how the market for them is nowadays.

The idea for these kind of sites in my opinion is no different than any other premise of retail. In order to make 'real' money you need multiple points of sale (websites) .

turnkey sites are good
however, my own blog is the best place to make money

This is pretty cool although I'm not really into it. I'll take a look though, sounds interesting :)

This sounds very intresting I am always looking for new ways to earn money online.This is a new aproch worth checking into.

I haven’t had any luck with my turnkey websites. Waste of money for me.

The website layout is not the most important factor of success. Traffic is the key.

And I found this site just has 9831042 alexa rank. So that this low traffic website try to sell its template to earn some money. I don't think it worths $246. The design of the site looks so cheap. If the owner is not rich, I don't think he can make us rich by his products!!!

Making money online with turnkey website is more and more popular today, but I believe that this is not for beginner since it requires investment. But turnkey website would save a lot of your time instead of building a new one.

you are wrong on this.
It doesn't save you time. It will take more time.
Trust me...Its not as easy you think..

Oh really? I've never tried this before, I thought you just need to promote it since it's a turnkey website, you don't have to do anything else such as designing and the like.

How do you think my friend? Do you have any experience on this?

This won't last, as so many people will clog this system up that it will take an exceptional effort to rise above the crowd. That's just my 10 cents worth, but I feel that individualised effort will ultimately lead to much greater rewards.

Yeah, surely we can earn some good money from turnkey website but i prefer the great money from my own blog. ;)

Thanks for the comments guys.

Our websites are built on custom wordpress blogs so you can change the design as with wordpress there are 1,000's of designs that you can download for free

Also the content on these blogs is different for every customer as you can update the blogs everyday with your own unique articles and product reviews which i recommend as you will benefit from SEO and organic traffic

Thanks
Andrew

Thanks for the comments guys. The websites are custom built wordpress blogs. The content for everyones website will be different as you will be able to write reviews and articles everyday helping drive traffic to your websites.

Also you can use any design you like for your websites as with wordpress you can download themes for free

Just to recap every website sold, the user can change the design and also the content will be different to every website.

Thanks
Andrew

this sure may be a profitable business to start, but wouldn't these same turnkey sites be sold to other people. i think this may lead to duplicate content all over the web. i still think its better to build your oen site

Its interesting the turn key businesses have been doing really well this year. Just like Tommy said they are great for beginners to start a presence and once they are up they are up and pretty hands off.

Thanks for the info John, I've seen many turnkeys but I saw
a few new ones today.

Turnkey websites are so-so to earn a quick buck but I believe it would be more beneficial to create your own site. Going through the building process and learning is most of the fun!

What about the footprint of turnkey sites. Won't Google just deindex them once several of these sites get out there?

Turnkey websites are really great for newbies to get a feel for online marketing, specially without the headache of finding products and setting up. I use a turnkey business at the moment, it runs like clockwork and makes good starter income so I can focus on other things.

You need adwords to really earn with such sites.

Thanks for the comments guys. The design of the sites can be changed very easily as they are custom built on wordpress, so you can choose from 100's of designs for your websites.

The price for the US and UK are exactly the same, the price is just in different currencies which equals the same.

If you have any questions you can email me directly

Thanks again

thanks for your nice feature , i am sure i will looking forward for this..thanks

Money making websites makes the world go round, at least the web world.

Having a Turnkey website is becoming more and more popular for webmasters who would like a customized website, without having to do it themselves. People owing these websites get the whole profit into their pocket and don't have to share it with person 'a' 'b' etc.

I think Website For Sale is providing a good service but they should give that service in the same "number" they are giving to UK people i.e $149 ;0

That 3rd screenshot was a fun watching ;)

i have to agree with you typoon , especially you last statement

Sorry but this one is a FAIL
the guy is reading a script from a monitor, and to me looks desperately trying to make money online with this membership site
i was excited at first that it might be new competition for flippa, guess not:) but let's give an E for effort.

Couldn't you just start a buch of blogs and make money?

I think a turnkey website is the best. You won't have to worry about the design noe the content, you just have to promote and start getting targeted traffic. But i feel it is expensive.

One important question: How often do they "sell" the same web site? If you buy a site at flippa or similar, you get a web site plus domain that is already a bit "aged" and provided that the seller doesn't copy his or her own template too often you can end up with a unique site, for a price. With a membership site like this you end up with one of many clones of a web site. Double content anybody? SY

Don't necessary because the most important thing is the content and the concept not the layer of a website.
