Q&A: Flippa type of website?
Question by Ryan Johnson: Flippa type of website?
Hi. I would like to start an online company and eventually make six or more figures a year.
I want to make a website where people can sign up for free, and they can list, sell, buy, trade, and auction off their websites and or domain names. Sellers would have to pay a small fee to be allowed to post their site up for sale. They would put info and snapshots of the website in their listing, and possible buyers would be able to view the listing. Buyers could either pay the buy now price set by the seller, or bid for the site. Once the auction closes, or the someone enters to pay the buy now price, I will notify the seller and the buyer. It is then the responsibility of the seller to create an agreement and or solution which fully gives the buyer hhe site, and which gives the seller his/her money.
There is a site called www.flippa.com that does everything I just stated. The reason though why people hate it, is because flippa charges a high $ 19 listing fee. I plan on really lowering the listing fee and selling ad space. If I can implement my marketing strategies and plans into this, I could easily be making better money than flippa. Flippa right now makes 4-5 thousand a day.
I would really like to make this site, but I have no coding or programming experience. Also, the pre made scripts are fine, but work poorly. Is there any way that I could have a nice site up and running, without paying so much. I am not old enough to apply for a loan. I am a teen. Should I freelance the job? Please help me.
Thanks!

That’s sure you have to freelance if you can not build your own. Yes, Flippa charge so much but their are a lot of traffic and trustable system. I think you are not ready to compete with Flippa. If you think big then you have to do big and that will cost big and gain big. By the way, internet marketing is not easy. If you do not have anything even programing knowledge then learn first and make some websites to sell in Flippa and you may see something about this kind of business.
Thinking is easy. Doing is hard. Successful is hardest.
