BULLSHIT
Why?
Because it's great at the time, but it doesn't last.
It's perspiration that gets things done and pays the rent.
That's what life is for most of us, scraping enough together every month, to pay the rent.
It's hard to stay inspired when you're in the daily grind.

Flippa Interview with Andrew Knibbe
Did you hear the one about the two drummers talking about buying and selling websites on flippa?
No? Well here's your chance.
I recently had a chat with flippa marketing manager, Andrew Knibbe about all things flippa.
There's been a bit of talk of late about Flippa's just sold results defaulting to showing only sales over $2,000 and ignoring what I call the "shallow" end of the flippa sales pool. Andrew explains that and a host of other questions I threw at him.

These guys regularly sell brand new, zero traffic, zero ranking sites, yet they are getting $247-$297 for these sites, sale after sale.
I'm not going to enter the debate here as to the worth of such sites, that’s for another day, but obviously there is a market for start up sites.
What I want to talk about is why these guys are selling so many sites at the

30 steps to building a website from scratch
When I started selling websites on flippa, I just couldn't get my hands on enough stock, so I put together a system for researching, building and then testing new markets.
The key to all of this is to use the minimum amount of time and resources possible and start to test the mareket as soon as I can. Even with the most diligetn research, there's just no way to know if the website will "stick" and be a success without testing.
