My first attempt at making a site to flip is ready. I used a product received through my NicheRockets [aff] membership to set up a basic one page salesletter type website selling the product (which is a pack of adsense ready wordpress themes).

Time 

It took about an hour to set up including registering the domain, setting up hosting, creating some new header/footer graphics, changing the colours slightly, setting up the delivery mechanism and creating the auction. I didn’t bother re-writting any of the sales letter as I figured this had been professionally done already.

Costs

Domain - $8.41
Sitepoint listing - $10
Product - FREE (through my NR [aff] membership)
Hosting - FREE (on my existing reseller account)

Total costs: $18.41

The Auction

I’ve set up the auction on sitepoint. You can see the listing here. I set the minimum bid to $40 with a buy it now of $100 and to run for 7 days.

Notice in the description, I have explained fully how the site works, what is included in the auction and offered to be as helpful as possible (1 month free hosting, help transferring and setting up the site). I’ve also included the up-sell of continued hosting for $5 per month.

I’ve really no idea if this will sell or not and, if it does, for what price. But that’s the point of an experiment, so wish me luck…!
