Website Investing Experiment

Welcome to my website investing experiment. I bought a website from Flippa back in August 2015 for $6,000 and I am now trying to increase the earnings to a point where I am satisfied and then sell it for a profit. I am calling this “Website Investing” because of the way that buying this site was finance.

My parents put up all $6,000 to buy the site and I am the one who runs/grows the site on a daily basis. We split the monthly profits 50/50 as well as half of the profit once we sell the site. There are some more details behind this deal I have with my parents that you will learn about in the first update below.

In the updates below, which will be constantly updated, explain the ways that I am growing the site and all of the steps I take to increase the site’s value. There is a lot of cool stuff and strategies discussed in the posts and if you are someone who has thought about flipping websites before then you are in the right place!

Check out all of the updates below from my website investing experiment:
