One of the ways I’ve made a lot of money has come from the process of buying and selling websites. My largest sale so far was in a deal worth six figures (see details here on how to sell a website).
This year I’ve also had the goal to buy at least $100,000 worth of websites and even though I have been buying websites this year I generally keep the URL’s of these websites secret for competitive reasons. Today I want to actually talk about a website I just recently purchased called Copycat Crafts and explain some of the things I look for when I buy websites. I’m also going to cover this website’s progress as an ongoing case study each month explaining what I did in the previous month, why I did it and how much the website has earned etc. First let me explain why I bought this website.

I created my podcast with the goal of finding another way to interact with my readers – now listeners – and have had a lot of fun getting actionable advice from other successful internet entrepreneurs. I was even featured on iTunes in the New & Noteworthy section for my business category. You can check out podcast session 1 here and session 2 here, but today I wanted to share with you how I actually made my podcast. First let me start with the equipment I use:

Its not uncommon to come across stories on the internet of new websites quickly reaching levels of success. Over the past three years, I believed that one of the websites I put my personal time and effort into was one of those success stories. I was wrong. [click to continue…]

The second podcast episode is now live on iTunes. In this second podcast episode I speak with Joel Comm about how he manages to run so many various income generating projects and how he has a lot of fun doing it as well. We discuss a few of his products such as the Socrates Theme, Kaching Book, Adsense Secrets, iFart iPhone application and his recent seven figure deal for Deal of Day.
I first met Joel earlier this year when I traveled to Colorado as a consultant for the buyer of his website Deal Of Day and I had a lot of fun talking to him and his employees in his Infomedia Inc offices. I hope you enjoy this second podcast where you can learn from someone who manages to make a very solid income online while running various projects that pique his interests from the iFart to content websites.

I released my latest project the Easy Azon Amazon WordPress plugin on Thursday. In just a few days I’m going to be holding an EasyAzon webinar where I will answer any questions you might have about the software before you decide to buy, show you how to use the software and show you how to get the most out of EasyAzon.
Join The EasyAzon Webinar Tuesday June 14th at 6:00 PM PST
Register Here For The Webinar On June 14th at 6:00 PM PST
This webinar should run for about 30 minutes with a question an answer session where you can ask me anything about the software, making money with Amazon or any other random question you can think of.
If you don’t already own EasyAzon I strongly suggest you consider buying the plugin. After trying every Amazon plugin on the market I had to just create one myself to build the feature set I wanted to help me build Amazon websites faster and easier while at the same time giving me the ability to make money from international traffic as well.
You can buy EasyAzon for just $47 during this initial price phase. As more features are added the price will go up and all existing customers receive free upgrades for life.
