Most of the website buyers I met are a first time buyers, and, therefore, they all are somehow insecure, and these first time buyers have this habit of asking ridiculous questions. Some of these questions are – ‘My girl friend has made $1,000 last month from her website. Where can I get the Google Adsense Code?’
Most of the website buyers I met are a first time buyers, and, therefore, they all are somehow insecure, and these first time buyers have this habit of asking ridiculous questions. Some of these questions are – ‘My girl friend has made $1,000 last month from her website. Where can I get the Google Adsense Code?’
As if Google is calling everyone and distributing free
Adsense code in the market. The other bespectacled guy I met last week asked
me, “How can I earn at least $700-800 a month from my site”. I replied by
asking him, “How old is your website?”
He said, “I don’t have a website now, I am planning to buy
one”
Therefore, I thought, why not write a straight forward piece,
so that these wimps will find the answers before they buy a website.
Now before, you start thinking about any income from a website;
here are few basic steps you should follow when you decide to buy a website.
Learn about the
website’s host
Figure out the hosts, and also learn how many days or months
are left before you have to renew the hosting service. It’s vital that you know
the host name. Some hosting services such as blogger don’t have a Cpanel, and; therefore,
you cannot directly transfer the website. Knowing the host will help you plan things
effectively.
About Domain
registration
Finding and knowing how many days are left for the renewal
of domain registration is equally vital. Also, the fact that you got to know
about who the domain registrar is, so that when you want to transfer the domain
to a particular hosting service, it will be much easier to get the pin and
easily transfer the name.
Buy sites whose niche
you are familiar with
Don’t step your foot on uncharted territory, a jolly old
saying, but fits rightly when buying websites. If you are good at finance, and
don’t know much about health, avoid buying health sites, but look for finance
sites and you will create more value to your site.
Learn about the
site’s revenue
A website’s revenue numbers will give you a clue how much
the site is targeted. The top earning sites has a lot of targeted visitors. If
your budget permits, buy sites that have a good number of targeted visitors.
Are you willing to
commit
Believe me, no matter how much money you pour onto your
website, but if you can’t devote enough time and maintain your site, you are
bound to fail. Running a website requires patience and willingness to
experiment. If you can’t do either of this, don’t buy a website.
Be patient and take advice from those who have already been there
in the business. That’s the best way to purchase a website.
