Bought this site as an investment with a lot of potential.  Gave it a needed facelift with a new premium theme and have been adding unique and interesting articles.  Have one writer for the site who writes for $5 an article.  I’m embarking on another large project and need to let this go to someone who will take it to the next level.

This site has UNLIMITED potential for the right motivated buyer. Don’t let it get away.

How to Transfer a Site From One Host to the Next

These instructions are for hosting with cpanel and for transferring one site from one host to another host.

First, you go into the File Manager in the cpanel where the site is currently hosted and choose the domain you want to transfer.

When you have a list of all the files, choose select all to select all the files. Once all the files are selected, you can use the Cntrl key to deselect the folders you don’t want, like cgi-bin.

With all the files that you want selected, go to top navigation bar of the File Manager and choose “Compress”. Choose Zip Archive for Compression Type and then in the url box, choose the name that you want to call the zip file. Do not remove any of the path information … just change the name of the zip file to what you want it to be. Then click on Compress File(s) and it will create the zip file from all of the files selected.

EXPORTING THE DATABASE

Select your database name on the left hand side. Go to Export using the tabs in the centre of the screen.

Your next step is choosing what to export (geeky code stuff, scary!)

Click “Select All” at the top and “SQL” of the circle buttons.

Choose the above options under Structure on the right hand side.

Choose the below options under Data.

Next, check Save As file, hit Go and save the .sql file to your desktop.

CHANGING THE DNS TO THE NEW HOST

Now’s a good time to change the DNS to the nameservers of the new host. You do this in the registry where you purchased the domain. You can usually find the nameservers of the new host on the cpanel, often in the sidebar.

Now you need to go to the cpanel of the new host and add the domain on if it is a host with numerous domains. If the new host is just hosting this domain only and it is the main domain for this hosting package, you can skip this step. In your cpanel, go to Addon Domains.

1. Go to your domain name registrar company on the Web. Log in to your account by typing your username and password in the appropriate fields. Wait for the page to download completely to see the list of your domain names.
2. Select your new domain name. If you have multiple domain names you will want to make sure you choose the correct name. Choose only the name of the domain that you wish to edit.
3. Go to the domain name’s control panel or configuration page by clicking on the provided link. Choose the link that will allow you to change the domain name’s name servers from the different configuration options.
4. Delete the old name servers from the field and enter the new name servers. Enter the correct name server codes for the primary and secondary fields. Check your new name server for the corresponding codes.
5. Save the changes you made. Depending on your registrar company, the modifications you made may take from 24 to 48 hours before they can take effect. It does not usually take this long, but don’t be alarmed if it does.

ADDING ON THE DOMAIN NAME TO THE NEW HOST

This is a screenshot of Hostgator Add-on Domain. Other cpanels hosts will be similar, but may not be exact. In the first box, type in the domain name without the http://. The second and third box will fill in automatically. You then either generate a password, or make up your own and type it in. If you generate one, it will fill it in automatically. You need to make a note of the password, as you will use it to log into your WordPress backend.

CREATING THE DATABASE ON THE NEW HOST

You can create a database through your cPanel.

Create a database.

Name it after your website so you don’t forget.

You’ll also need to create a username and password. Please make note of the password, the database name and the user as you will need this information for your wp-config.php file.

And then create your new user.

Lastly, add your new user to your new database.

Make sure when you add the user to your database that you check all the permissions for your new user. You want this user to have all permissions.

EDITING THE WP-CONFIG FILE.

You’re next step is editing your wp-config file. You need to let WordPress know what database you’re working with. You can find the exact name and user name of the database in your SQL Databases on your cpanel that you just used to create the database. It will have a prefix and you need the prefix plus the name you named the database, (i.e., myhost_nicheblog. The user name will also have the prefix.

You’ll need to update WP-config to show the new database name, username and password. Here’s the part you need to find:

UPLOADING YOUR WORDPRESS FILES

Remember the zip file you created in the beginning of all your WordPress files? If you didn’t download it to your computer, do that now. Then upload the entire zip file to the new server in the public_html (or root directory) of your domain. If there’s only one domain on the new host, the root will be public_html folder. If there are more than one domain, it will be in the domain folder (i.e., public_html/flipace. You should use an FTP (file transfer program) to make this easier. A great (free) one that I use is
FileZilla
.

After it is uploaded to the new server, go to the File Manager in the new host cpanel and go to the domain. Checkmark the zip file and extract it.

You can use your cPanel details on FTP.

Last step – Uploading the database

You now have a fully functional WordPress blog on your buyer’s hosting plan.

The following is a visual instructions for making the database changes.

Go to
http://domainingdiva.com/database.jpg

In the database, you also need to change the upload path to the new one. Click on the database name in the left panel and then click on Search. Select all and type in public_html for the search. It should come up with a couple of entries in wp_options. Click on the one that says upload path and open it.

Go to
http://domainingdiva.com/database2.jpg

One final change to the database is to change the user password to what you want.

Go to http://domainingdiva.com/database3.jpg

PUSHING THE DOMAIN

After you’ve determined that everything is functioning correctly on the new host, it’s time to push the domain to the buyer. You’ve already set the nameservers to his/hers, so now you only need to give it to him.

I use Namecheap.com for my domains and it’s a simple process to push a domain to another person. First, they must have a Namecheap.com acct or an account at whichever registrar the domain is at. Normally, you just go into your domain management functions and click on the domain to see all the options available.

Click on “Push Domain to User” and then type in their user name

Note: The new user must have all their contact info filled out, or the push will fail. If it does, just contact them and ask them to fill out all their contact info.

Note: While it often resolves instantly, it can take up to 24 hours for a domain name to resolve after you change the nameservers. If you can’t log in to the WordPress admin, wait 24 hours and you should be able to log in.

That’s all there is to it.

Good luck!

What could I possibly say that I haven’t already and many others haven’t already said about Sitepoint launching it’s new marketplace for buying and selling websites, called Flippa. Suffice it to say, buyers and sellers alike are very unhappy with it.

For whatever reasons, they thought that switching from a highly successful and highly usable interface to a queasy looking Twittery blue Web 2.0 with pathetic usability was a good move. They also apparently think that shoving something down paying customer’s throats that they don’t want and charging them a great deal more for the service is a good idea. When users complained about the interface as well as the exhorbitant price increase, this is what Mark Harbottle: Co-Founder of Sitepoint has this to say to his paying customers who voiced their thoughts on the new Flippa:

Thanks for all your positive feedback guys. We appreciate it. One thing to keep in mind…
Our buyers aren’t going anywhere. They are savvy business people. They don’t care about the design of the site or the fact the logo sucks (the current logo is a placeholder BTW), they simply get on with the business of buying, and we’ve made it a lot easier for them to do that on flippa.com.

Meanwhile while you all whine and complain about the fees, the design, etc. the smart sellers are listing their sites on flippa.com and they are attracting the majority of the buyer interest. They will also get the added benefit of the PR we’re about to roll out.

So, it’s totally up to you! If you want to come across to flippa and sell your site in the professional marketplace we’re creating for serious buyers, we welcome you with open arms. If not, please do go to digitalpoint. List your site for free and see if the old adage of “you get what you pay for” applies.

He also indicated that he doesn’t want to hear any more complaints about the pricing.

In a comment on this post, Matt Mickiewicz says that Mark has already apologized on the CenterNetworks blogs regarding his poor choice of words.  In case anyone missed the big apology, here it is:

“Mark Harbottle says …. I’ll stop by here Allen. Perhaps a poor choice of words, but I stand by message…”

I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound like an apology to me.

As a sort of bandaid to the bleeding wound that the 5% success fee has caused in addition to the increased listing price, Flippa staff changed the success fee to where the sellers can now be the bad guy and pass this extra cost on to the buyers if they choose to. Buyers are going to love that, aren’t they?

Considering that sales on Sitepoint have been pretty slow the last couple of months, I don’t think gouging the buyers for an additional 5% is a good idea. But hey … that’s just me.

Now I don’t know about you, but considering that Flippa has had such a rocky launch, calling his paying customers names does not seem like a good idea to me. I’d try a little ass kissing if it were my business that was on life support.

Contrary to what the Flippa staff is telling people, the new site has slowed down considerably. When I was using Sitepoint daily, my listings would scroll off the first page within 1/2 day because of all the new listings being created. It now takes 2 days for listings to scroll off the first page.  All of these changes haven’t changed one thing that was very wrong with the old marketplace called Sitepoint … and that is the large amount of scammers, both buyers and sellers on the site.  It appears to me that the legitimate sellers have been offended and insulted into looking into new options while the same old scammers are sticking it out at Flippa.  Just scrolling through the diminishing listings on the front page, I see the same old scam sellers selling the same old cloned traffic sites and MMR packages, the same old Revolution Church sites that are a dime a dozen … only difference now is they are charging more to make up for their losses in the new pricing and some are passing that success fee onto their buyers.

Matt says that’s because on the Sitepoint marketplace, the other listings came in as well.  Ok.  Probably true enough, but it looks to me like they’ve now cut off the lifeline of the Sitepoint marketplace.  I used to browse and buy from other categories, such as templates, scripts, domains, etc.  I only noticed them because I was there to buy and sell sites.  I don’t check them out any longer, and according to this Alexa screen, I’m not the only one who is not visiting the Sitepoint marketplace any longer.

In addition, we keep hearing from Sitepoint staff about all the sales the site continues to make.   Ok … so let’s take a look at today’s sales.

You can see that the majority of the sales being made are the low end, dirt cheap sites.  I was under the impression that the NEW site would be catering more to the high end.  That doesn’t appear to be the case.   It looks like the same old same old all dressed up in blue Web 2.0 to disguise the fact that the site is still full of people out to make a quick buck rather than savvy professional buyers and sellers.

Whenever a service fails so miserably to make it’s customers happy, you can bet there’s a new service around the corner to pick up the pieces.

Enter Sitedeal.org

Sitedeal.org is a brand new marketplace for buying and selling websites and unbelievably, it is free. You can pay for some upgrades, but listing on the site is completely free. The site is packed full of features.

One feature I particularly love is the Sitedeal Stores. I’ve built one already. You can see it here. Within a couple of hours of placing my listings there, I was getting pms from interested buyers. One buyer likes my sites and is interested in a package deal. That’s more interest than I’ve gotten from Sitepoint for a couple of months now, other than the “savvy Flippa buyers” who pm me to offer me $65 for a network of 4 Tattoo sites that gets over 21,000 visitors per month and has revenue.

I could go on and on about the potential and features of Sitedeal.org, but just go check it out for yourself … and while you’re there, Stumble it, bookmark it, Tweet about it, blog about it. Shout about it. It’s a whole lot better than the alternative.

Actually, you could just purchase the same theme, hire a cheap writer to rewrite some content for you and save yourself a boatload of money.  The real guts and value of a site is the content.  Google doesn’t index themes …  it indexes content.

The sites I sell pre-made or build for you are already well indexed by Google and have tons of content.  They are also completely hands off auto automatic posting of high quality rss feeds.  Only feeds that have something to offer are used … none of these two sentences and go here to read full article feeds.  These are full feeds with images included.

Duplicate content is a myth: These sites are all well indexed by Google (and show up in the main results) and gain pagerank quickly.

Is it copyright infringement to use rss feeds?: No.  Rss feeds are syndicated content.  Using syndicated content with attribution to the original source comes under Fair Use.  It’s a win win situation when you use rss feeds … you get content and they get valuable backlinks that benefit their site by increasing their pagerank.

How You Will Make Money With These Sites

To make it easy for you, I will strategically integrate at least 4 ways to make money

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

amazon Store And Affiliate Programs

As you can see on the site, there is a link to the shop where there is a auto-updated store featuring highly targeted items that are available via Amazon. .

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

Affiliate Products

As you can also see in the sidebar of the blogs, there are ads for a highly targeted ads for Products and Services. Popular Clickbank products cand be used as well as Network ads from Neverblue, Max Bounty, Commission Junction, Share a Sale, etc. (any network you are a member of).

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

Google Adsense

These sites are Adsense ready and Adsense ads have already been implemented. You can see them in both the sidebar and usuall the very top and bottom of each article. They can be added to the inside of the articles as well.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

Private Ad Sales

You can sell private ads (125×125) for this website. All you need to do is write a little blurb about your costs, etc. You also have the option of easily adding more ad space on the sidebar via the admin panel.

here’s what you are getting

A customized theme and logo design

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

Keyword Domain Name in a lucrative niche that’s easy to remember!

I can build this for you on a domain name that you already own or I will find the best available domain name for your niche using highly sought after keywords for the domain.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

Premium WordPress Themes (Value is $70+ alone Before The Customization And logo Design!)

These aren’t your avearge WordPress blog themes. I have a developers license for many Premium WordPress template sites.  All templates used on my sites are from my premium collection with a backend admin panel to help you easily add/edit info to the sidebar, manage advertisements, etc.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

custom twitter account

I will build a custom Twitter Background to match and complement your blog.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

this is what is done to these blogs before they are sold

1. Submitted to 60 different social bookmarking sites (with bookmarking demon), which gets backlinks and gets it indexed very fast.  Submitted to many rss aggregator with RSS Submit and to many free web directories with Dynamic Submission.

2. Installed many of the hottest plugins for a blog, including All in One SEO Pack, Google XML Sitemaps, Adsense Deluxe, WP Super Cache, Social Bookmarking plugins, Tubepress, a plugin to pull videos in automatically.

3.  Autoblogged Plugin installed to completely automate posting.  Purchased unlimited version of this plugin so you get a legal copy (a $130 value).

4. Custom header and Premium WordPress Blog Theme

5. Extremely optimized for Google Adsense, and other forms of monetization, as described below.

6. Three special plugins that 1) makes Google think the content is unique and 2) pulls articles from Digg with all the comments and 3) Forum2Blog Poster that brings in the first post of any VBulletin forum post and the subsequent posts as comments. These plugins are $15 each so that is another $45 value.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

Professional Site Build

These sites will get indexed very fast from the directory and social bookmarking done prior to sale. They already have a sitemap, strong keyword articles and titles, and has excellent SEO plugins installed. You don’t have to worry about putting in the effort of submitting and getting over that initial hump of getting a new site indexed. It’s done!

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

All PSD Files.

You get all the PSD files used to create the site header, logo, etc. Why would you want these? Having the PSD (Photoshop layered files) files makes it easy to edit any of the designs and/or conveniently make new ones. This can save you time and money when creating new promotions later.

Questions And Answers

Can I get help setting up the site on my hosting account?

Of course! As mentioned above, if you purchase one of the existing sites and you need assistance, I’ll install the site and help you get it running smoothly. Free of charge! Also, don’t forget that you also have the option of 30 days free hosting on my server so you can take your time moving the site at your leisure. This 30 days is FREE as well!  If you don’t have hosting, I strongly recommend Hostgator hosting. It has superior customer service and for one small hosting payment, you get unlimited domains and databases.  I have over 200 domains hosted on one Hostgator account for $14.99/mnth.  They have cheaper plans than that also.  Customer service is normally within an hour or two at the most by email and instant by phone.

.: AFTER-SALE SUPPORT: FREE, Of Course!

Selling you the site and leaving you hanging out to dry is not my style. If you need assistance, I can help you set up your ads, your Adsense code, etc.!

My Marketplace Auctions

My Marketplace Auctions

I’m in the business of creating and flipping websites. One thing is abundantly clear when dealing with my customers … there are a lot of people out there who are trying to get in this business or just make a success of the web properties they buy or create that don’t know the first thing about how to set up a blog, what to do with it once it is set up, how to promote it, how to get it indexed, how to get traffic and make sales.

I just launched Niche Demon exactly for this reason. If you fall into the category above, this ebook is for you. Geared towards newbies, it gives detailed information on how to set up a WordPress blog and then drive traffic and make sales from it. This is a 98 page ebook jam packed full of information that even some more experienced affiliate marketers don’t know … ranging from setting up a website to marketing, social bookmarking strategies on autopilot, traffic and linking strategies that will send your site to the top of Google results, to setting up a Google Adwords campaign.

So Where’s the Testimonials Suzanne?

I’ll be honest with you. The ink isn’t even dry yet on this ebook. No one has seen it yet, so I didn’t fill it up with the usual bullshit fake testimonials you see on every other sales page on the Internet. In addition to the nuts and bolts information of how to get a website up and running … the techie stuff that most newbies do not know, it has the very traffic and sales techniques that I have been using successfully for years. Let me give you an example. I just launched a site yesterday. Today I applied the very first tip in the ebook for Day 1 of the 5-Day Plan and within an hour, the site made it’s first sale, and it’s not even indexed in Google yet.

Click here to see a larger image. Pretty impressive results for a new launch.  This is a brand new site with a $28 sale 1 hour after using the first Day 1 Niche Demon tip.

Here’s the screenshot for another recent launch and below is a Paypal screenshot for two recent launches

See larger Paypal screenshot here.

In addition, I gave a review copy to a couple of people. Here’s one review and below is a video review.

This ebook is your blueprint for success. I got this ebook set up to sell in the Clickbank marketplace and figured it would be a COLD Day in Hell if it got approved. Guess what? It’s a COLD Day in Hell. Clickbank just approved the ebook to sell in their marketplace, so Niche Demon is officially live and ready to download. For the low price of only $47 (keep reading … it gets much better) you can get in on the proven Niche Demon methods and techniques that I use to make a full-time living from affiliate marketing. It’s a deal … and if you follow the instructions in the ebook you can make the price of the ebook back many times over. I guarantee that you won’t regret your purchase.

Go ahead and read the sales page (it is a kick-ass sales page, isn’t it?).

But here’s a deal

As a pre-launch offer, I am willing to let you purchase this ebook for $27, less than half the price on the sales page.

But Wait! There’s 7 FREE Bonuses!

7 FREE Bonuses… Well Over $380 Worth!

If you buy sites on Sitepoint, you really need to do some homework. There are a lot of sellers who are purchasing MMR products that cost $10 or less, setting it up on a domain, and selling it for $167 more or less.  When I say a lot, I mean a lot.

Some of them even try to pass these MMR sites off as unique.  They advertise them as unique, but they are far from unique.  I saw yet another one of them two days ago that advertised the site as unique.  I found it for $49 by Googling and this scammer was charging $797 for this site.  I pm’d him and gave him the $49 link to the exact same site.  His response?  He gave me a link to the exact product that costs $5.99.   What can you say to that kind of arrogance and pure rip-off mentality?

Apparently this type of thing is not against TOS, so it is up to YOU to research the site before investing your hard-earned cash.

How to Flush Out the Rip-Off Artists

Use Copyscape.com for starters.  It will tell you if a site has duplicate content.  In addition, you can use Google.

Take a headline or paragraph and do this

“place headline here or paragraph or sentences” in Google with the quotes.  It will return any content within the quotes.  When you look at the results, look for Master Resale Sites listed and check it out.  You may find that there’s a Master Resale Rights product for a couple of bucks identical to what is being sold as a unique product on Sitepoint for over $100 or you may find that the site being sold is using PLR articles that are already all over the Internet.

Here’s another tip on how to spot the scammers.  Click on their profile and check all the sites they’ve been selling.  Click on each of them to see if they keep selling the same sites over and over.  Right now there’s a little scammer on Sitepoint who is selling the exact same “traffic selling” site over and over, just changing the template and domain name, but it’s the same site and he’s listed well over 20 of them so far.  And people keep buying them.  Not only is the market completely oversaturated with this BS site he’s selling, but Sitepoint is now overrun with people trying to sell “traffic” from these clone sites.

Take the time to do the research.

Even if you don’t want to develop, in order to get more than reseller profit from a domain name, it’s going to take work.  In order to make a real profit from a domain name, you need to sell it to an end-user rather than a reseller.  Finding and contacting those end users takes time and work.  I’ve done it both ways … finding end users and developing.  I enjoy developing more than cold calling (via email) end users.

There’s a trend to develop mini-sites rather than park a domain.  That’s a good start, or at least a better alternative to parking sites, but I develop full sites rather than mini-sites.  It’s all about the end user.  As an end user myself, someone who purchases sites, I never throw money at “made for Adsense” mini-sites.  Number one reason is that I could throw that up in no time myself.  Number two reason, I don’t find them fun or appealing in any way.  If they make you some money … good, but people pay pretty well, even in this economy, for a well-developed and designed site in a hot niche.

Here’s some sites I’ve sold recently:

Land of Shopportunity
Anime Zoo
Dot Com Mogul

Here’s some I have in development:

eMovieTrailer
Simple Yoga

That’s just a few of them. I have more in different stages of development. Once they are developed, I get them indexed and get traffic going to them. How do I do that? Simple. I own Firestorm Forum, a social bookmarking exchange community and when I exchange bookmarks, let’s say Stumbles (that works best for me), the site is indexed within 48 hrs .. usually 24 and has great traffic stats immediately (unless, of course, the site is a real dog). It works beautifully and having the site well-indexed in Google and traffic stats to show off adds a great deal of value to the site and gives you some selling points for listing.

Where to sell?

I have my best luck selling on Sitepoint. It costs money but has been well worth it for me. One tip for selling a site on Sitepoint is to make a great sales page. Be sure to mention all of the assets of the site … how many posts, how much traffic, revenue if any, site features, potential to make money (ie … do you already have Adsense and ads in place?). Here’s one of my listings to give you an example of listing the site’s selling points.

One thing about developing nice sites to sell … you can even flip a weak domain name if you have a great site established on it … not a really crappy domain name … just a bit weak. Of course, if the site is really great, it might even sell to someone who purchases a better domain name for it.

What kind of sites to develop?

I have two favorites … WordPress blogs and Joomla sites. Many people know how to set up a WordPress blog, so that is probably the easiest site to get established. Joomla sites are a bit more complex and often the best components to add features to your site are commercial, so you have to sink a little money into the site. To tell you the truth, 6 weeks ago I wouldn’t have been able to put a nice Joomla site together to save my life. Then I bought one really cheap and had to buckle down and get to know Joomla in order to add value to the site and fix some problems. It didn’t take long to become a Joomla enthusiast and all in all, it was a pretty short learning curve.

So that’s it …my advice for selling domains in a bad economy. Works well for me. Hope it does for you as well.
