Imagine buying a website for $9,000 and reselling it for $575,000. Hey there, my name is Max Davis and I’m an expert investor in websites and internet businesses. Basically what I do is buy websites for pennies on the dollar, fix them up a bit and then resell them for 3, 5, 10 and even as high as 63 TIMES what I paid for them over the course of 12-15 months (hard to believe, I know). Here are case studies of the last three deals I've done so you can see the enormous potential there is in this type of business...
* Compare these ROI’s to the stock market’s pathetic 8% average annual return and you’ll see why I’m so excited about this kind of business! Obviously I can’t legally guarantee you will get amazing returns like these, but if we are able to do it, there’s no reason you couldn’t if you just put in the effort like we did. Even if you were only 1% as successful as us, you would still be getting 50% annual ROI’s, which slaughters any other investment you can make elsewhere.
You can flip websites after owning them for as little as 1 month, or you can hold them long term like case studies 2 & 3 to make even more money. The exact same process is used either way...
What I’m about to share with you is incredibly valuable content. My goal is to PROVE to you on this page that my knowledge and experience will catapult you to an income level you never thought was possible, all through buying and selling websites. To do this, I’m going to flat out GIVE YOU an incredible amount of value right here on this page. No trickery, no obligations, just pure content. Ok, before I get into teaching you how to buy and sell websites for a living (like I have been doing the last 5 years), let me take a few seconds to share with you who I am and why you should listen to me. Here’s my story... I’m a pretty laid back, straight shooter kinda guy. I’m no fancy pants copywriter (pretty obvious I'm sure). I’m no slick salesman (I hate selling). I have no special, magical powers. BUT I have learned "the secret" to creating hundreds of thousands of dollars online. I’ve been making a small fortune online over the last 4-5 years selling REAL products and services to REAL niche markets with my websites, THEN selling the websites themselves! (which by the way, is where the real money is, but nobody shares this with you for some reason) My partner (the investor/money guy) and I (the marketer/project manager) have been buying and selling websites in many different markets, with the last three websites selling for a total of over $729,000. We use the exact same process every single time and our system is yet to fail. If my mind reading abilities are correct, you are probably thinking to yourself that I’m just making up these deals to impress you. Am I right? Well, I just put together a short video where I literally log you in to our business checking account so you can see the payments being deposited from the last two transactions above.
Ok, hopefully by now you realize I’m on your side, one of the good guys. I can’t be much more honest and transparent than showing you our actual bank account. Now you are probably saying “sure Max, YOU can sell websites for $575,000, but I don’t know anything about buying or selling websites, so I can’t do that”. Wrong! Chances are, you are probably in the exact same position I was in just a short time ago. You see, 6 years ago I was a cable man making a whopping $8.50 per hour and I was miserable at my job. Do you have a job you hate or a business that isn’t making as much as you had hoped? I tried every get rich quick business opportunity in the world and every single one of them flopped big time. It finally hit me that you can’t learn how to make real money from some $27 e-book on making money online. There’s just more to it than that. For the next 4-5 years I just put my head down and plowed through hundreds of web businesses, testing all kinds of niche markets, products, advertising methods and website marketing tactics. Sure enough, just like the saying goes, those who work hard…succeed. What this means is everything I’ve been able to accomplish, you can also replicate yourself, probably much faster than it took me. Everything I do in my buying and selling websites business is learnable (if that’s even a word?). And I’m willing to teach you everything I know about the business, as long as you are willing to learn it… Our business is not complex. In fact here is exactly what I do…
It’s an amazingly simple formula that's worked every single time we've tried it. The "trick" is knowing exactly HOW to do each of these steps and then knowing how and where to sell the website for an incredible amount of money. The “where” to sell is what 99% of website investors get all wrong. Don’t worry though, because this is exactly what I’ll be teaching you… Of all the ways I’ve tried making money online (and I've tried them all), this simple process is by far the easiest and most predictable way to achieve wealth online. OK, ENOUGH ABOUT ME, THIS PAGE IS ABOUT TEACHING YOU TO MAKE MONEY Now that you know who I am and what I do, it’s time to start diving into the content. In the full training program, I’ll teach you exactly how to buy and sell websites through recorded video lessons (as well as audio recordings, written transcripts & an exclusive mastermind group chat forum, but I’ll get into those later). The lessons look very similar to the ones you’ll see below, so if you think these free videos are “priceless” as other people have referred to them as, then you’ll be blown away with the full training program. In this first video, you’ll learn why buying and selling websites is one of most profitable businesses you can start, and how everyday people like you and I are making a killing doing this. Click “play” below to watch the first free video…
Pretty amazing how much potential there is right now, don’t you agree? So, where did I come up with such an interesting business model? Well, one thing I’ve learned to be successful in business is to take what’s already working in a different industry and apply those same principles to a new industry. Basically what I did was model the real estate investing industry for the internet. I guess you could call it “virtual real estate investing”. Only, rather than buying hundred thousand dollar homes or apartment complexes, I buy cheap websites and make a lot more profit per deal. Watch this video to see how I restructured the real estate investing model into a strong and viable internet business.
It really is as simple as that. The more complicated something is, the less likely it will work, so that’s why I keep everything I do as simple as possible. You’ll notice this when you sign up for my training program, each lesson is short and sweet, straight to the point with absolutely no fluff or filler content… The main difference between my virtual real estate investing business vs offline real estate investing is the cost to get started and the risk. The way I run my business, you can literally buy websites for as little as $400 if you want, compared to buying homes for $150,000. You can even build the websites yourself for virtually nothing besides an $8 domain name and $8 for web hosting. Last I checked, you can’t build a home yourself, especially for $16 J Also, buying a website or building one from scratch has little to no risk (the way I do it anyway). I cover every single thing you might come across when buying websites in the full training course, but I’ll just flat out give you some of my secrets here:
Again, the video above just covers a handful of the things I check before investing in a website, but as you can see, it’s not rocket science! Our entire business model can be broken down into 4 main categories:
So, let’s dive right into each of these topics… The Overview Part Of My Business: There are a few foundational things I’ve learned over the last 5 years of running our business. These day to day activities are what keeps the rest of the business running smoothly. Before I get involved with a new website project, the first thing I think about is how I’m going to sell it and who is going to buy it. That might sound strange, but that’s one of the things that separate people who are successful at this kind of business from those who aren’t. Everything I do from picking the niche market, to building traffic and revenue streams is 100% focused on preparing the website to be sold. Since I know exactly what buyers what when buying a website, I can setup the business to fit exactly into that strict criteria. This is how I am able to get 24 to 40 times monthly earnings while other website sellers or “flippers” only get an embarrassing 8 to 12 times earnings multiples! What does that mean? Well, when you sell a website, most of the time the purchase price is based on a multiple of the site’s earnings. If your site is making $800 per month in profits and you sell the site for 10x earnings, your sales price would be $8,000. So let’s see. Typically “flippers” would get paid $6,400 to $9,600 on the example above. Compare that to my 24-40x multiples, which means I would get $19,200 to $32,000 for the exact same site… Do you think it’s a good idea to learn the RIGHT WAY to buy & sell websites? I’ll teach exactly how to prepare a website to be sold the right way in the full training class. There are quite a few steps involved, so I can’t get into all of them on this single page. Here are a few other “overview” type things I teach my students: - Why prior experience is not necessary. - The types of projects you should focus on for maximum profit potential. - Share the price ranges of possible deals you can expect. - Go over legal issues such as starting a company vs just doing it on your own. - Who you should have on your team when it's time to sell. - Explain timeline of ownership & taxes. - Should you use a broker to buy or sell websites? - How risky is this business idea? (Hint – I show you how there can be NO risk) - Why should you sell a site when it is making good money? - How to plan the sale of your site from day one. - Get your mindset right, motivation, take action, and focus on the end prize. - Why buying and selling websites is the best business to be in and will continue to be for many years - Why there is no such thing as competition in this business and why there is an unlimited supply of customers/buyers. - Other business opportunities that exist in this market buying & selling website market. (and I add more overview tips each week)
Everything mentioned above is considered general information. Once you learn that foundation, you will be able to get into the other three aspects of my business. Like I mentioned above, there are three core paths you can take with this business. You can build your own websites to sell. You can buy websites to fix up and sell, Or you can sell existing websites you already have up and running. Let’s talk a little bit about buying websites… Here’s a quick video that talks about how to buy websites, where to find them and why you should consider buying a website…
Some other things you’ll learn when you sign up for the full training course include: - Overview for what kinds of sites to look for and what to avoid. - Why buying a website is such a good idea. - Where to find websites for sale. - Best types of sites to buy. - How much to pay for a website. - How to transfer the funds to the seller. - Fraud checklist to make sure you don’t get scammed. - How to verify the facts & figures the seller provides (due diligence). - How to write a purchase agreement to protect you. - Should you use a lawyer and accountant? - How to find rundown sites and buy them for pennies on dollar. - Negotiating tips for getting the best deal (cheaper prices, payment terms, etc). - See real life case study of our most recent website purchase. (More buying tips added each week)
I mentioned legal agreements and purchase agreements above. Please don’t be intimidated by these terms. If you are going to take this business seriously and use it to make hundreds of thousands of dollars, you will need to use legal agreements on your transactions. If you’ve ever hired an intellectual property attorney or a business contract lawyer, you know they tend to charge $250 to $400 PER HOUR for their time. The mergers & acquisitions attorney we use charges us $375 per hour, but his contracts are fantastic, so it’s worth it. But, one of the bonuses for signing up to the full training program is I actually GIVE YOU a bunch of legal agreements you can use when buying & selling websites. These are documents we paid over $6,500 for over the last couple years, with one purchase agreement that cost us $3,619 to have written. You get all of these documents as part of your “tuition”. I even show you how to fill out the agreements so it is brain dead easy on your part. These agreements will save you thousands of dollars in legal fees, not to mention the peace of mind knowing you are legally covered in case something goes wrong with the transaction you are involved with. So that’s a little bit about buying websites. Let’s spend a few minutes on selling websites… When it comes to selling a website, there is a right way to do it and a wrong way. Unfortunately, 95% of website sellers do it the wrong way! My goal is to make sure you don’t make these mistakes. It can be the difference between you selling your website for 10x earnings vs 40x earnings, so it’s hugely important that you learn the right way to sell a website… In the next video, I’m going to go over some of the more common mistakes people make when trying to sell their websites. Hopefully this will keep you from making these same mistakes, whether you decide to take the full training course or not:
The other nice thing about selling a website is the entire sales price is profit (assuming the website has no debt when it is sold). The only expenses you have are the advertising or broker commissions as a result of listing the website for sale. Here are some other things you’ll be learning about selling your websites… - What types of sites do buyers want to buy? - Ways to fix up websites that you bought. - Where to sell your websites. - When to use a broker. - How to collect money from buyers. - How to transfer ownership to new owners. - How long it takes to sell a website. - What kind of buyer should you be looking for? - Should you consider owner financing/taking payments? - How long to hold a site before selling it and why. - Explain the various taxes associated with selling websites. (More selling tips added each week)
What if you have little or no money to get started? I get that question a lot, specifically, “how can I buy a website or get involved with this business if I don’t have much money?” Well, here’s a lesson I pulled straight out of the full training course. This type of valuable advice is what my students have paid hundreds of dollars for, but I wanted to just give it to you for free because it answers this important question. This tip can literally put $100,000 in your pocket within 15 months (as shown in the video)… How to buy websites using none of your own money
As you can see, ANYONE can get involved with this business, even if you don’t have much money to start with.
Of course, if you don’t want to get a loan or buy a website, here’s the last business model I’ll share with you. You can use this option and your startup costs can be as low as $16 if you want to do all the work yourself. Yes, I said under twenty bucks!
How To Build New Websites For Next To Nothing To Resell... Two of the three websites I talked about at the top of this page were done using this technique. They were websites we started from scratch, built them up and successfully sold them. One sold for $55,000 and the other $100,000. Obviously this technique works like a charm too, so don’t worry if you aren’t able to buy a website. You can just build one (or have one built for you). Here’s a video that talks about building websites and how you can get started using this technique…
The basic formula I teach in the full training class for the building websites section is: - Pick a niche topic first (choose 3 of your favorites) - See how many ads in google for each niche - See if there are any affiliate programs available - Is there something you can create that’s unique only available through you - Are there other websites with traffic/mailing lists you can partner with - Are there enough things to write about continuously. - Do some quick keyword research - Only pick something that is proven…new ideas typically leads to failure - Buy domain name - Buy hosting - Setup website on hosting account - Make an outline of topics you are going to cover on your site - Start creating a product and/or writing content - Setup autoresponder if your niche would benefit from one. - Start getting links to your site. - Start buying PPC ads for cheap traffic in google (depending on your site topic) - Have some decent graphics made to make your site look more professional - Should you build a network vs one site? - How to build value for your website visitors & ultimately the buyer of your website. (More site building tips added each week) Still with me? That’s fantastic! Because you are still reading, that tells me you will do well with this type of business. Not only do you have the determination required to succeed, but you have the interest and ability to follow directions. That’s all you need, everything else I will be able to teach you… I hope you’ve learned a lot about buying and selling websites on this page. The fact is however, this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you enjoyed the lessons on this page, you are going to love the full blown training course I put together. My goal is to teach you exactly what to do, no fluff or waffling around. The lessons in the training class are similar to those on this page, very straight-forward. The most valuable asset any of us have is our time, which is why I won’t waste any of yours. I taught this training course last month to a small group of students and the feedback has been incredible. I recorded each of those lessons and that will serve as the "core modules" for this training class. New lessons will be added as needed to make sure you fully understand everything to be successful. You'll have a “PHD equivalent” education on the topic of buying and selling websites when you are done. I put up an advertisement for this class in a popular chat forum and I was amazed when many of my current students showed up to share their stories about the class. I took a screenshot of the testimonials left by my previous students, which you can see below. Look at what other people who have already taken the class are saying...
Those are some very humbling comments. I had no idea what kind of impact I was having on people by teaching them this information! You'll notice a common theme in the testimonials above… I’m OBSESSED with customer support! I’ve been so successful online because I treat my customers like gold. As an exclusive member of this training class, you will get to watch me review deals live, right in front of you. You will watch me identify good websites to buy (or good markets to build new sites for). It’s all included in the one time tuition fee for the training class…
The final piece to the "success puzzle" is your mastermind group... Chatting with like mind people who are all working towards the same goals will dramatically increase your success rate. That's why, as part of the training program, you will get access to the private, members only Mastermind Group message board. This is where you'll find an amazing amount of value. In the mastermind group, you will hear about the success stories of other students who are making deals, you'll get to exchange ideas and recommendations about outsourcing help and so much more. Once you step inside the mastermind group and begin talking with all the other members of the class, you'll instantly know what a great decision it was to take this training class! Again, this mastermind group is all part of the one time tuition fee for the training. There are no hidden monthly fees of any kind. Here's A "Sneak Preview" Of The Private,
Ok, now that you are convinced how incredibly valuable this training class is… How much will this Buying And Selling Websites training class cost? If you go to college and get an MBA, it will set you back anywhere between $30,000 and $150,000 depending on where you go. What do you get out of that little diploma? In most cases, you get an entry level job making about $45,000, and that’s if you are lucky enough to find a job in the first place! Well, since there are no Buying & Selling Website college degrees available, this training class is about as close as you can get. Considering the very real possibility of earning six figures your very first year in this business, a class tuition fee of $5,000 is more than reasonable, given the amount of time I will be investing in your success. The training class with full one on one coaching & support is a one time payment of $4,997. You should easily make ten times that amount on your very first website sale, so it's a nominal price to pay for such a specialized and personalized training class.
If I ever offer the one on one training again in the future, it will be by application only as I only want to work with people who have what it takes to succeed. I have no plans on mentoring anyone else in 2008, but if you would like to put your name on the list and apply for the $4,997 coaching program, you are welcome to fill out the application below...
Thanks for your time. Looking forward to talking with you inside the private members area for the training class. - Max (Contact Information Is Here)PS - In most cases, this training class is tax deductible, so check with an accountant or your tax person to see if you can write this off. Trust me, when you are making hundreds of thousands of dollars selling websites, you'll need all the write-offs you can get!
