Learn To Flip Websites, School’s In Soon!
One of the things I really like to do on the Internet is build WordPress niche sites and flip them on Sitepoint.
So far I have only flipped the startup sites or turnkey as they used to be called. I learnt how to do this from a very nice young man who maybe, bit off a little more than he could chew or maybe was one of those people who goes all gungho and then the novelty wears off or gets bored and moves on to greener pastures.
It was really a shame as he had built up a great community, he was offering really good value, great videos to show how everything was done, really good.
Then one day he just disappeared, left all his charges to fend for themselves and it didn’t take very long for everything to go wheels up. Sad, very sad. Because there were many people there who had never made a dollar online and all of a sudden here they were making much more than a dollar.
I made many dollars just doing what he taught and best of all, I loved the doing.
Why am I telling you all this? Well I have found another tutor and this one doesn’t look like he is going to do a flit. He has set up a really good ‘school’ as he calls it and I didn’t think I would be looking forward to going back to school ever!! but I am.
This time I’m going to learn how to go up a level or two from the startup sites. Maybe I’ll concentrate on just one level to start.
There is a lot in flipping these sites, like anything else, once you sell something to someone, you have to make sure they receive that something, intact. You don’t have to wrap it, just make sure they get it.
I’ve bought many info books on site flipping, joined many courses too and the one way I have learned to judge if someone knows what they are teaching is, if they know the process of moving the site over to the buyer when they sell it. And… you know what? Only the first guy has, until now all the others have either glossed over that part or say they pay someone else to do it for them, or just send the zip file to the buyer.
There is a lot to knowing how to make the site eligible for the next level too and that does take work, well it all takes work, we know that. Contrary to what many think, you don’t need to do any work to succeed and make your fortune on the Net, ha de ha ha ha!
Okay now I’m going to tell you where you can come to school with me. We might be able to have lunch in the canteen, you never know, glad it’s a school for mainly big people, I can have coffee instead of milk.
Alright, enough, I’ll tell you where to go get yourself enrolled.
Head on over to the Warrior Forum to the WSO section and check out Site Flip School or take this link here to be able to head back to school with me. Or click on this big URL below, (copy and paste it if it’s broken).
I think it will only be available until the end of the month because, school’s in come the first of next month.
Let me know when you enrol so we can hang out together.
Till then
Cheers
Carmel
PS Forgot to mention, our teacher knows exactly how to transfer the site to the buyer and lots of other stuff too.
PPS another thing, I’m not an affiliate, don’t think there is an affiliate program, just like to pass on something good when I see it, never know who may be wanting to learn this.

Embedding And Making Videos Private For Membership Sites
I have this awful feeling that I might be developing into a WSO junkie.
But, mostly the special offers that I have bought have been good value and the one I got today, I think will be the same.
As the saying goes, it is all in the timing. and the timing today couldn’t have been better.
I have been looking for a way to embed videos without the expensive bandwidth. As I use mostly WordPress for the sites I build, I haven’t had much success with plugins that embed videos.
Youtube videos can only be the under 10 minutes variety too and I find it very difficult to keep mine under that. And keeping them private is a problem too.
Well this WSO, which you can find out more about by clicking here, is my answer. I won’t try to explain it, it’s Alan Petersen WSO and he does a much better job than I could.
But I will tell you, it works and following Alan’s easy instructions and videos, I had my videos embedded in no time amd private too. He doesn’t use Youtube and the site he uses allows bigger videos than Youtube. And……the WSO was only $10…..bargain!!!
I love it when things just ‘work’ like it says on the box and this does that.
So here’s the link.
Alan Peterson’s WSO.….well worth it.

WordPress Plugins, Three Handy Ones.
Three plugins I’ve found recently, thought you might like to take a look.
So this first plugin was just what I’ve been looking for.
From Manuel Grabowski
I know most people use Google Analytics and yes, they are good and your stats from your web host cpanel are excellent too but this one is right on your site, in your Dashboard and so easy to check.
You get in the Overview (Includes Column Graph for daily quick comparison)
- Hits (date, time, IP etc)
- Search Terms
- Referrers
- Agents (bots)
- Pages
- Spiders
There are many options to enable you to collect data on your site’s stats,
and you get all this right there on your Dashboard, no bringing up a new browser.
WordPress.com have great stats built in, and I’ve tried the plugin for my own hosted sites but no matter what, I’ve never been able to get the API key to work on a WordPress.org site.
This plugin (previously known as StatPress) shows you real time statistics about your blog. It collects information about visitors, spiders, search keywords, feeds, browsers, OS etc.
Once the plugin StatPress has been activated it immediately starts to collect information. Using StatPress you can see your visitors actions while they are surfing your blog or check which are the preferred pages, posts and categories. In the Dashboard menu you will find the StatPress page where you could look up the statistics (overview or detailed). StatPress also includes a widget you can add to a sidebar (or easy PHP code if you can’t use widgets!).
StatPress speaks English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Norwegian, Dutch, Brazilian, Turkish, Swedish!

From Vladimir Prelovac
SEO Smart Links can automatically link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments with corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog.
Further SEO Smart links allows you to set up your own keywords and set of matching URLs. Finally SEO Smart links allows you to set nofollow attribute and open links in new window.
Everything happens completely transparent, and you can edit the options from the administration settings panel.

WP125
From redwall_hp
Easily and efficiently manage your 125×125 advertisments with this plugin. Used on The Theme Blog’s sidebar, WP125 provides a simple admin panel system for creating new ad campaigns, setting a time for removal and reviewing click statistics.
This plugin is for the little 125×125 ad blocks like the ones on my sidebar or similar type ads, you can use this plugin on a single colums too.
From this plugin’s admin panel, you can control those little 125x125s.
The features included are:
* One or two column ad display, and support through template tags to implement your own unconventional design.
* Show as many ads as you want, and in either manual or random order
* Keep track of how many times an ad is clicked
* When creating a new ad, you don’t have to calculate the end date yourself. Just input how many days you wish the ad to run for, and the correct date will be applied. The ad will be automatically taken down when the time comes.
* When an ad run is over, the record is archived on the Inactive ads screen, so you can check on the final click count, or revive the ad for another run.
* When an ad slot is empty, a placeholder ad of your choice will be displayed. This could be a �Your Ad Here� image linking to a page with statistics and pricing, or an affiliate link.
* Optionally recieve email notifications when an ad expires. Useful if you send follow-up messages to advertisers, or if you just want to stay in the know.
Hope you find these useful
I’ll add these three to my WordPress Plugins page.too.
Catch you later,
Cheers
Carmel
PS if you check out the last sentence above, the link for “WordPress Plugins” was done by the SEO Smart Links Plugin automatically……Nice!
