Your run-of-the-mill startup websites are a dime a dozen and aren’t commanding the kind of prices they used to. That’s not to say they are dead, but you have to put a little more work into them these days to make decent money selling them. Here are five things you can do to add more value to your startups so they stand out from the crowd and generate maximum profit when flipping them.
1. Enhance the Look
The website flipping market for startup sites is very competitive so it is important to create a website that is unique and catches the buyer’s attention. A professional logo or header and a custom template will make your startup look unique and professional. If you have a blog, adding images to your posts will also make a big difference.

You recently created (or bought a blog), and now aim to get backlinks to start ranking in the search engines. But which are the best methods for a new blog? This was the question I posed to Lynn Terry who runs the hugely popular Clicknews site. Below is an outline of her response.
1. Niche directory – whatever niche you’re blog is on, most likely there’s a niche directory out there for it. Seek these out via a Google search, with the following formula: niche + blog directory. For example, if you’re blog is on the topic of surfing you would type into Google the following: surfing + niche directory. Niche directories are usually good sources of relevant, good PR, one way backlinks.

As you may (or may not) know by now, guest posting is the premier tool top internet marketers use to bring in traffic and backlinks to their site. The best online marketers know the value of guest blogging, and as such are always on the lookout for such opportunities. Give it to them!
But what is the best way to receive guest articles on YOUR site, over and over again?
Essentially what you want to do is “create a dedicated guest article submission page”. You need to make it easy for others to submit guest content on your site. The easier, the better!
When you do this, I assure you, the submissions will flow.

The reason many online marketers use WordPress as their platform of choice when it comes to setting up sites is because of the nifty add ons called “plugins”.
But what are these plugins good for? Essentially they expand the functionality of the WordPress software, much like the add ons available for Firefox and apps for the iPhone. Each one makes a task easier, faster or more robust. If you’re wondering which are the must have plugins for your blog? Wonder no more, as I share my top picks.
I NEED THOSE STATS YESTERDAY!
1. WordPress.com Stats – this is clearly one of the absolute must add WordPress plugins to your blog. It tracks visitors but displays the stats within your admin dashboard. I’m highly addicted to this plugin and add it to ALL my blog sites. Yes! I do use Google Analytics as well, but barely ever check it. I check this one instead because all is right there within easy view; such as search engine traffic, social media traffic, daily weekly and monthly visitor count, keyword terms, and much more.
