		<description>I think forgoing a mailing list is a mistake most of us made as newbies.  Once you really understand the power behind a mailing list you realize how naive you have been to not have implemented one sooner.</description>

		<description>Hi Leslie,
Thanks for stopping by. Good to hear you have a solid goal there for selling sites, good luck, I&#039;m sure if you focus on quality and adding your own unique spin to what you offer buyers then you&#039;ll do well. 

Hope to see you here again. :)</description>

		<description>Michelle,

I think I&#039;ll be starting a list for this too.  I mean, I have blog flipping as one of my business elements this year, so why not make sure I make it as much profitable as I can.  If I do well this year (I plan on flipping two sites a month), I want to double it for next year.  To succeed I will need to use every angle possible.

Thanks for giving yet another push ;)

		<description>@Joe I remember nearly giving up on my list building at one point, I&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t! :)&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.michelle-adams.com/recommends/artisteer&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Artisteer&lt;/a&gt; sure is handy for creating your own unique themes quickly and easily. :)

@John I&#039;m glad you&#039;ve read my free &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.michelle-adams.com/virtual-real-estate.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;QuikCash report&lt;/a&gt;, it should give you some sense of ease with what to do when moving sites. It can be daunting though moving sites at first but once you do one you will find out it&#039;s a lot easier than it all sounds. :) 

At the moment I can&#039;t offer you anything solid in terms of hand holding during a site move but one thing I would suggest at first is to move one of your own sites. 

If you&#039;re serious about site selling then grab yourself a reseller account at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.michelle-adams.com/recommends/hostgator&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hostgator&lt;/a&gt; and start learning the ropes there. Move one or two of your sites and you will soon discover how easy it is. I will be launching a membership site where there could possibly be some level of hand holding but that isn&#039;t going to help your immediate needs so that&#039;s why I suggest the above. 

If you are more or less trying to get some sites up and sold and move on then you could outsource the transfers for as little as $20. You can find people to do these types of tasks at RentACoder, the Warrior Forum, DigitalPoint etc. Do the due diligence though on reference checking etc. 

I hope that is of some additional help for you. If there is anything very specific you need help with then post your question here and I&#039;ll do my best to answer it and or write a post on it. :)</description>

		<description>Hi Michelle,

First, thanks for all your info, especially in Quick Cash Report. 
I possess about 50 WP blogs. I can create them rather fast (the wonders of software), but can&#039;t seem to make the plunge to sell. 
Transferring the sites is a big stumbling block, I guess, even though its explained QCP. Is there some way we can correspond about this?

Thanks,
John</description>

		<description>Great points Michelle.  Building a list is so simple yet one of the last things many people think about.

I love the Artiseer product too... that looks very handy!  I may have to get that!

Take Care!

		<description>@dlysen I agree. I&#039;m a big believer in seeking advice from a mentor or two. ;) Thanks for visiting. 

@Web Career Girl It&#039;s a good idea to push your list to the auction to begin with as it builds your feedback/reputation at Flippa. Selling prior to auction isn&#039;t always going to happen so fostering your Flippa profile is important. 

That being said, when you are a little more established (I think you&#039;re there! :)) then offering up the sites for a 24 hour period at a first in best dressed BIN price is an option. What you need to consider though is that Flippa offers you some insight into who is bidding/buying so tread carefully when you sell to an unknown buyer outside of the marketplace. 

@Flippa Chick I&#039;d noticed some of your auctions actually. :) Great to hear that you have list building as part of your business now. Thanks for stopping by,</description>

		<description>Unfortunately I held out far too long before getting an Aweber account. The sad thing is, I knew all about the benefits of having a list and even stressed this for my clients, but I didn&#039;t see any point in using this feature because I didn&#039;t have a website that I felt needed it.

Now that I&#039;ve moved to flipping websites full-time I can&#039;t tell you how much I enjoy shooting out a broadcast to members on my list so that they have have &#039;first dibs&#039; on websites that I flip! =)</description>

		<description>I think I&#039;d do that too - I&#039;ve had a couple of customers already who are interested in things like that. But I&#039;m still finding my feet and wondering whether to do custom orders etc. At the moment I&#039;ll be using my list to promote current auctions, but I think in future I&#039;ll send offers to buy sites upfront before listing them, giving money off.</description>

		<description>Without a guide it is hard to make it, It takes a months to experiment how to boost your sales, but if you have a guide or a mentor that you ask for advice you, I’m sure you can do it very quick using the experience and knowledge of others to apply in your page.</description>

		<description>@Scott I&#039;m glad this was a timely post for you. Let me know if you need help when you take the plunge to sell your first site. :)

@Web Career Girl I don&#039;t offer a blanket discount to subscribers per se but you could do that of course and many do. 

What I sometimes do is offer my regular buyers, who have proven to me that they&#039;re decent (oh there&#039;s that word again :) ), a good price on custom orders or multiple purchases.</description>

		<description>I just had a question - do you offer a certain percentage discount for them buying through the list or something like that?</description>

		<description>What a coincidence! 

I was today thinking about all the costs for listing any sites (that I managed to get finished!) for sale and going through the options to save on costs.

Good to read that I am not the only one thinking this!

I just got to go and get them out there. :-)</description>
