Today, Google announced the acquisition of YouTube for $1.65 Billion!

This, among many other recent mergers and acquisitions just strengthens my
viewpoint on strategic M&A�s for future growth.

A perfect expample of this is CNet.com�s historical timeline, if you haven�t
seen it check it out at http://www.cnetnetworks.com/aboutus/history.html. It
is an interactive timeline of their history.

As an internet marketer, you may also know Mike Filsaime. Some may see his
acquisition of Instant Buzz as the spring board that really shot him to
super stardom.

We can see it throughout history that successful mergers & acquisitions have
been the fastest way to exponential growth.

More M&A history lessons later, for now it�s back to analyzing more sites.

Stop Wasting Your Time Building Niche Sites!
By Dan Beldowicz

Everyone in the internet marketing universe is building niche sites, why???

Because that�s what the GURU said to do!

How many of you are spending your time learning how to code a site or use
another website building program. Do you do your own graphic design, and if
so, are you any good at it? I for one am not a graphic designer, and have no
clue how to make things look really good.

Two, I really don�t want to pay some one to design a site that I�m not fully
confident will really make money.

So I�m done, I will not create another site! I will not waste my time trying
to learn graphic design. I will not start with ZERO visitors again!

For the past two years, I have been focused on a different way to grow my
internet business. I have bought tons of ebooks which now site on my hard
drive collecting virtual dust.

They all seem to say the same thing about link building, list building, I
try to implement them on new sites, but just can�t seem to build the traffic
I should.

I have done better not starting the site and making money from it than my
own start ups.

Find out how I now make over $5,300 each months from sites that I didn�t
start!

The name says it all, the report will convince you why it�s a FASTER,
EASIER and a HELL OF A LOT MORE FUN!

Yeah, I said "BUY" not "Start"
Let's get right to it:

1. Buy a Website that is Complimentary to Your Current Website

Here you are looking to expand your market, whether you are adding a similar product or service, you now have another source of income. For instance if you run a website selling golf shoes, a logical purchase would be a website selling golf balls, clubs, instructional videos, etc. You then have the ability to cross-sell and up-sell your current customers as well as, your new customers.

Why not just add these products to your site now?

Great question, and you absolutely could, the answer lies in the difference between linear growth and geometric growth. How fast do you want to grow?

2. Buy a Website that is Highly Trafficked

You will find that many websites are started, grown, become wildly popular among a small niche and never Monetized! WHY? Because they are hobbyist sites, they don’t do it for the money, they do it because they truly love the subject.

FIND THESE SITES! THEY ARE A GOLD MINE!

If there is a ton of traffic going to a specific website and there are no ads on the site, no affiliate programs just a ton of content, then make an offer. These site will usually come with a huge mailing list too.

3. Buy a Website that is already Profitable

Why would someone sell their website if they are making money with it?

There are a ton of reasons, and some of the most common ones are, not enough time, new job, focusing on other business, just had a child, no longer interested in the subject (watch out for that one), etc. Most likely the reason is centered around time, which means there is a huge opportunity to automate everything that has to be done to maintain the site.

If you are great at time management or know how to develop processes, then you will do great with these sites, you can make your money back and figure out new ways to generate income.

4. Buy a Website to Flip It

This is becoming a very popular trend, just like flipping a property, this website probably involves a hot keyword and the current owner has no clue how to optimize the site.

Here you are looking to get in, optimize, monetize and get out! Buy Low, Sell High! Take your profit and put it into another website to flip.

If you have been online for sometime and know the ins and outs of SEO then you will love flipping websites. It’s very exciting to buy something at a great price, do a few tricks to generate more traffic, build a list and a some revenue streams, and then sell it a few months later for a huge profit.

Always remember the reason you bought the site, you bought it to sell it. Don’t get sucked in because you start to see a monthly cash flow, the object here is the same as the game hot potato. The person left holding the site when the music stops, LOSES! Especially if the keyword is a fad.

5. Buy your Competitors Website

You know you industry, you know your competition, and if you are already making money, then why not expand and take the competition out. Then it is time to decide whether to keep the sites separate and make it look like you are still competing, or to merge the two and announce the take over.

There are pros and cons to both methods in a buy out. Its up to you to determine what would be most profitable.

6. Buy a Website for the Domain Name

Does someone have the domain name you want and just can’t live without. It may be easier to make an offer on the business and not just the domain.

Here’s why!

Business valuations are typically based on the amount the current owner is making. Most times probably not that much, but if you go in saying you want the domain, the owner suddenly realizes that Business.com sold for $7 million and obviously so can his. Evaluate what it would take to buy the business vs. making an offer on just the domain.

7. Buy a Website You Know is Underperforming

If this is a site you frequently go to, and see that there are no ads, your on the mailing list and never get special offers. What is the owner missing, you have a general idea of how many people go to the site, it has a great Alexa Rank and a high Page Rank.

The current owner may be happy with the little that they are earning, or just don’t know how to capitalize on what they have.

This is another great investment! Jump on it!



Whatever the reason you are buying a website, there is a ton on money to be made. Be sure to do your due diligence and make the right choice. Good luck in your Website Investing Journey!

Fundamentally, there are only three ways to grow your business. I won’t waste your time, so here they are:

Get Customers to Buy More!
A larger transaction per customer will net you much more if they buy two products instead of just one. Think about it, Point-of-Purchase items at the convenience store, like all that candy on the shelves below the register, or the small display of batteries. Its not a big ticket item, but something that you can always use and won’t break the bank, making the decision to add it to your purchase much easier.

Get Customers to Buy More Often!
This is the frequency that a customer returns to purchase from you again. Once a person buys from you once, they are twice as likely to buy from you a second and third time. If you only have one product to sell, consider looking for a complimentary, non-competing item to recommend after they have purchased your product. You could just let the customer buy your product and never talk to them again, or you could follow up later and tell them about another product you have to offer that they might be interested in.

Get More Customers!
I a customer is willing to come back to you and purchase from you a second time, they most likely know someone or a group that is interested in the same product. What if you just asked them to tell their friend about it. Suddenly, your customers are sending you more business and those new customers to do the same process…Buy More, Buy More Often, and Refer More Customers!

Do all three and witness the power of Geometric Growth!

Robert Kiyosaki talks about Cash Flow & Passive Income in his books and his game Cash Flow 101 teaches the basic mentality of investing. He shows the difference between investing and gambling through a board game. <br /><br />The premise of the game is to get out of the rat race and onto the fast track. You do this by building your passive income, once your passive income equals your monthly expenses you are out of the rat race. To do this you have to invest your money in small deals, like stocks, mutual funds, single family house rentals, etc. and then you must move your investments to large deals to get a larger monthly cash flow from your passive income. <br /><br />It's a great game and really makes you think about your job and your investing activities. For me it inspired me to start looking for these small deals. So I started to look into Real Estate Investing, but I didn't have a clue where to start, or have the money to get into it. (I know what some of you are thinking, "You could buy a house for NO Money Down!" Yeah, well I didn't know how or have the balls to do a deal like that. )<br /><br />I started to look into buying a business (side note: The more I looked, I actually found a job/career in business brokering. I have been a broker now for 8 months now and have seen a ton of businesses.) I figured a coin-operated laundromat could be lucrative and it didn't require me to be there to run the business. I then saw all the issues the buyers were facing getting the down payments for the businesses. Unlike real estate banks are not as willing to give a loan to a person purchasing a business, as they are a person buying a house. <br /><br />Again most businesses seemed to be selling for a pretty penny at closing. Now realize I'm not talking millions, I'm talking 50% down, but most businesses were selling for well over $100,000. And to me $50,000 to buy a business that I will not see a return from for a few years didn't seem worth it. I thought to myself, "Wow, and these are the small deals, maybe I should start looking for MicroDeals!"<br /><br />Sounds funny right? But that is exactly what I did!<br /><br />Micro Deals are those that are less than $50,000...but I started to look at deals that were much smaller. I didn't have that much to invest so I stayed under $20,000. Remember, an Asking Price is just that...Asking, not what they seller will sell for!<br /><br />Now the only deals that I came across were websites for sale, I started a website in 2002 and wasn't making any money from it, so I was a bit skeptical. I finally came across a site that I visited frequently and sent an email to the owner. He was asking $20,000. <br /><br />WHAT! That was my absolute limit, and I didn't even have that to spend, let alone buy a website. So I started to talk to the site owner, he had it on the market for a few months and really wanted to get rid of it. The site was only making $4,500/year, so I talked him down to $9,000. <br /><br />It was going to take two years to make the money back, and this was money that I had to borrow. So I borrowed the money and bought the site. <br /><br />It took 4 months of racking my brain and researching how to make money online before I actually thought this was a good idea. I remembered that Google had launched an advertising program called Adsense and I figured I would give it a try. I placed one ad unit on the site and started to earn $4.00/day (yes, that is Four Dollars per day), that's an extra $1,460 each year! My break even point just got closer by 6 months! YAHHOOOEEE! (It seemed like a lot at the time)<br /><br />I soon started to read everything I could on Adsense. Income grew by leaps and bounds, by adding more units per page, testing different colors, testing placement and so on. The site was paid off in exactly one year. <br /><br />That really got me thinking, if I can make $9,000 a year from one site, working an hour each week. What if I buy another website?<br /><br />If I stayed at the same investment level my break even point would be 6 months since two sites would be working to pay off one debt. For the third site, the break even point would be 4 months since there would be 3 sites to pay off one debt (at $750/month per site) and so on down the line. <br /><br />Do you see where I'm going with this? I built a passive income in my spare time by buying a website. That website now brings in over $5,000 each month! And allows me to invest in more websites and microdeals. <br /><br />There are tons of websites for sale, it is a matter of Buying a Good Website and Making it Great!<br /><br />I have found a way to buy micro deals (to buy websites), create a passive income, and reinvest to get to the passive income level I need and want!<br /><br />If you don’t see the power in this micro investing strategy please reread this post. It has changed the way I view making money and investing. <br /><br />I will be sharing more ideas and going into more detail on how you can do this, in my course that will be released in October. I'll be talking more about that in the coming weeks. <br /><br />Dan Beldowicz<br />pinos100central.com false Dan Beldowicz 2006-08-20T18:35:00-07:00 2006-08-22T01:15:06Z 2006-08-21T01:35:52Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12447720.post-115612415260346070 Brick & Mortar vs. Internet Business <div class="RTE">The past eight months I have been studying the purchase and sale of brick and mortar businesses.
