Turnkey sites

Here you construct a site that has as little as a simple layout and logo and market it to those who do not feel comfortable building a site. Sites can be cloned and only the logo and name changed effectively mass producing these sites. Personally I am not a fan of such a strategy nor do I participate in such a strategy and i might even go as far as to say, this is the spam of website development. The plan involves selling off a volume of these sites to make a reasonable profit and generally does not involve good domain names.

Domain Flipping

If you want to develop to purely increase resale value, then domain flipping may be for you. This involves building out a domain and using search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to gain good search engine position and traffic. Reminiscent of house flipping, you need to set a time limit and budget (money and resources) and you need to have a clear idea of the market in which you are going to sell. There is no point in spending $2000 developing a domain and then try to sell a website in a market sector that will not support more than a $500 price point. A combination of technical skills, marketing and luck are involved in this strategy. SEO is mostly experience in my book........
