---- Are flipping websites the best investments?

This is something I have thought about as well. I like it much more than domain name flipping because you are actually adding value to the domain name instead of degrading it's value with adverts.

I would also like some more info if skunker is willing to provide it.

What types of sites? Who is buying? How do you advertise the sites? What is the price range you sell for?

I would love to get into this and have done it in my head a few times, but never more than that.

My idea for this type of thing was more along the lines of building a site with a few companies in mind to purchase it.

Example: A book review site, some content on the best seller lists, a couple site level reviews, a forum. Once the forum gets a decent amount of users I was thinking I could start courting local book stores and ask them if they want to brand the site as their own and either pay for the branding or buy it outright and take over everything.

Is this along the lines that you go? Do you ever offer just branding and keep ownership of the site and continue on developing it? Or do you just sell them and hand over everything?
