You can’t get rich doing this but if you create 4 sites a month, add at least 20 pages of content, wait for indexing and a PR update you can make $100 -$200 each for each site.

So on average 4 sites a month will make you $500/mo.. To really make it work the system needs to be automated so you get some decent inbound links and free original content. That’s the secret.

Anyway, it would be a great business for a high school kid that needs a few bucks. Beats mowing lawns.

@Dan, websites do tend go for more in the Established, mainly because you have to have income from the site in order to list it in that section. I’ll be posting updates on how I market the site as well so be sure to follow along with me and hopefully we’ll see some good results that you can duplicate.

This sounds really interesting – I think selling in the established section on sitepoint is a plus anyway as websites usually go for a lot more there! I havent tried making an established website yet, namely as Im not so good at the marketiting of them yet! lol

@Paul, I’m not a huge fan of churning out startups either and as I said, I think the real money is going to be in the middle to longer term (3-12 months) type sales. However, I think if you have quality content, any type of revenue, a good design, and a solid domain name you’ll make money on even a short sale.

I’ll be tracking the hours spent and in fact, I’m going to try to outsource as much of it as possible. I haven’t yet decided whether I’ll do daily or weekly updates but either way I’ll be sure to share all the info here.

This will be interesteing Ben. I like this idea more than simply churning out startups, as much of the value in the site comes after you’ve put it live. What you do to get the traffic up will be particularly interesting.
