Whilst listening to one of my favorite podcasts, now named the .net podcast (from .net magazine), Paul Boag introduced the idea of buying and selling websites.
In the reality TV world that we live in, we are all no doubt aware of the potential of house improvements to sell at a healthy profit. Paul and his guests discuss the idea of 'developing' existing websites purely with the intention to sell. The result of their conversation is essentially: what is it that you want to achieve from your business? I.e. what do you enjoy? Buying and selling suits some people, many others build their businesses online purely because they are passionate about their subject. It's a case of horses for courses... but there is plenty of potential for buying an existing website, revamping for profit and reselling.
Have you spotted a website that you think you could achieve more..?
Better to buy to redevelop, or to build from scratch?
You decide! :o)
