Kids of all ages love playing video games.  In fact, many adults also enjoy playing games, especially on the innovative systems like the Wii and the Nintendo DS.  Games like Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution, and Guitar Hero are fun for people of all ages, and because of this, a turnkey website that sells video games is a great choice for anyone looking to make a little extra money.

Video games work as a turnkey website product for several reasons.  In addition to many games appealing to players of all ages, there’s the fact that the video game market is never-ending.  There are always new games coming out, and every five years or so, a whole new set of game systems is introduced.  Some of these game systems play older games, of course, by they almost always require gamers to buy new accessories.  Plus, the newer systems have much better graphics and capabilities, which encourages gamers to buy these new systems.

With the way the economy has been, many people have found themselves suddenly unable to pay their mortgage because they’ve lost their job or they have more expenses then they previously did.  These people find themselves in serious financial stress, and there’s a real danger they could lose their homes.  Many turn to refinancing their mortgages, while others are trying to find ways of repairing their credit after declaring bankruptcy.

That’s where your mortgage turnkey website comes into play.  These types of turnkey sites offer valuable information to those looking to refinance their mortgage or to repair their credit.  The site uses a script to pull articles related to home financing, mortgages, and credit repair from other news sites and RSS feeds.  These articles are available to your visitors for free, and they give them a taste of the other resources you offer.

Most mortgage turnkey sites make their money by selling ebooks and bonus articles.  These ebooks may cover things like getting your first mortgage, what to expect when you refinance, and how to take advantage of the many new mortgage laws that have gone into effect.  Other ebooks focus on credit repair and help readers learn what bankruptcy involves, how to handle credit card debt, and more.  These items are stored on the server that hosts the turnkey site, so customers can directly download them instead of waiting for an item to be shipped.  It also means you don’t have to do anything.  Your site does all the work.

Turnkey websites are among the most profitable types of websites out there, but no one can make use of a turnkey website without a computer and an internet connection.  This is quickly becoming true of many things—the internet and the computer are becoming central to work, entertainment, and information flow.  Without a computer and the internet, a person can be severely limited in how quickly they can access information, news, and more.

This means that many people will be looking to buy computers, laptops, network routers, and the many accessories and peripheral devices that go with them.  A turnkey website devoted to electronics, then, is a great way to make money.  This is especially true when new computers and devices hit the market because many people will want to upgrade.  That’s another great thing about the electronics and computer market—there’s almost always something new coming out that everyone wants to get their hands on, so you’ll have many repeat customers!

Anyone who is starting their own online business or who even wants to put together a very professional personal website will want to have their own domain name.  Having a domain name helps to make an online business look more legitimate, and it makes it easier for customers to remember the website address.  Of course, to get a domain name, one must first make certain it is available, and then they have to register it.  Every domain name, of course, must be unique.

There are a number of places online where one can check to see if a domain name is available.  If you purchase and run a turnkey website devoted to domain names, then you can get in on the thousands of dollars made in this industry.  Most turnkey websites that focus on domain names include information about where users can find available names, learn how to purchase domain names, and more.  They also often include many different news stories focusing on domain names and websites.  There are a number of other articles that you can include on a turnkey site that help visitors learn more about how domain names and websites in general work.

If you’re looking to make a good amount of money from a turnkey website, then you want to find something that many people will be interested in.  What topic will draw a lot of visitors to your website?  One of the most popular types of sites on the internet are sites that provide people with a source of entertainment, especially when they are bored or (as we all do) goofing off a bit instead of focusing on work.  Out of these many entertaining sites, many people enjoy playing flash arcade games online.

An arcade website features dozens, if not hundreds, of different games that visitors can play online.  They typically don’t have to download anything (some may need to upgrade to a new version of Flash if they don’t have it), and generally there’s no charge to play these games.  With these types of turnkey websites, there’s also no need to ever add anything new, although you can certainly add new games if you want.  There’s no need to post new articles, links, or any new bits.

Bookstore Turnkey Website Makes Making Profit Easy

If you love reading books, you know just how much money you can spend on purchasing new reading materials.  If you regularly visit bookstores or shop online for books, you also know just what kind of prices they have, especially the brand new hardcover books.  There’s a lot of money in the book business, and you can easily get in on that money if you purchase a bookstore turnkey website.

These types of websites offer two great ways of making money.  The first is, obviously, through purchases.  When any of your customers purchase a book from your turnkey website’s store, you’ll get anywhere from five to ten percent, maybe more, depending on which bookseller your turnkey website is connected to.  You don’t have to worry about placing orders or shipping books—your website will be connected to an online bookseller that will handle all of the orders and the shipping.  They also, naturally, get most of the profit from each sell, but that’s only to be expected.

The second way a bookstore turnkey website makes money is through advertising.  Whenever people visit your site and click on ads, you will get a small amount of money.  Even if you don’t get that many clicks on your ad per day, the amount will accumulate over time, especially as you get more and more visitors.

Make Money While Helping People Lose Weight with a Diet and Weight Loss Turnkey Website

Many people feel the need to try to diet to lose weight.  Others want to eat only healthy foods.  Yet other people have to be on specific diets because of health issues such as diabetes.  No matter what their reasoning for dieting, many people turn to the internet to help them find great recipes, snack ideas, and tips on how to diet.  This means there’s a lot of money to be made for those who own websites devoted to dieting and weight loss.

So how can you easily get in on this money?  Just buy a turnkey website devoted to either diets, weight loss, or both.  These diets often feature recipes, tips, and more for those looking to eat better.  While these items are what draw visitors in to the turnkey site, they aren’t how you make money, though.  That comes from the different diet guides that are for sell through your turnkey website.  The products these diet websites offer include things like guides to Weight Watchers, Atkins, the South Beach diet, and more.  Many of these guides also include bonuses like calorie counters, ways to burn calories, recipes for those with special dietary needs, and much more.

A Guide to Buying Established Websites

Buying turnkey or existing websites with built in revenue streams is an excellent opportunity to develop a passive income business, but like anything it's important to follow some basic rules of the road.

Before you even begin bidding you should start by finding out the following information from the seller:

1. Traffic. Your first move is to attempt to determine the approximate number of "Unique Visitors" that traffic the site. There are a number of ways to get a gauge of this but there is no one single source for the information. Be sure to ask the seller where website traffic comes from and also what resources they are offering you to verify site statistics.

You can request direct access to Google Analytics if the seller uses it. You might also ask the seller to install a Statcounter from Statcounter.com to verify traffic on a given day. Be aware that some less than scrupulous sellers may not reveal that the site may also house assets such as images, web-scripts or other utilities used by other sites which can inflate a sites' actual traffic numbers. Finally, be sure to verify whether traffic from RSS feeds is included in the overall unique visitor count as this may also inflate traffic numbers.

2. Website Content. Determine whether the content on the site is "unique" i.e not just stolen or scraped from other sites. Visit copyscape.com and check out a few pages to verify the uniqueness of the content. Also find out whether the content needs to be updated on a regular basis.

3. Webhosting. Is the seller offering hosting as part of the sale and if so what is the
duration of the offer? Does the site require a dedicated webserver (much more expensive) or is a basic shared server adequate to meet site demands? What platform (windows or linux) does the site operate on?

4. In-links. Ask the seller if the site is linked to other websites that they own and whether those links will remain intact after the sale.

5. Transfer of Revenue. Determine the sources of site revenue from advertising and understand that you will need to be accepted by those ad networks in order to maintain the revenue stream once you take ownership of the website. For instance if the site makes a lot of money from Google Adsense you will of course need to have an active Google Adsense account to immediately benefit from that income stream.

If you're buying a site that requires warehousing inventory, find out whether the owner uses a service for this and whether you can establish an account with that service. Also if the site accepts credit cards find out what service the seller uses to process credit card transactions and whether you can establish an account with that company.

6. Site History. It's obvious that a well established site with a consistent revenue stream is a better overall investment. Use resources like Archive.org and check Googles cache to better gauge the history of the site. Also, do a "Whois" search on the domain to ensure that the domain is owned by the person selling it.

7. Licenses. Determine whether the site's software is one of a kind. If so, can you have the rights transferred over to you? Otherwise be sure to find out if the seller is licensing the software from a third party and whether there are any ongoing fees associated with the license. If it is a licensed software package inquire as to whether there are other sites using the same package. Finally, you may want to include some kind of non-compete language within your agreement just in case the owner intends to re-use the software and create another site that may be in direct competition with you.

8. Mailing lists. Find out if the sale of the site includes one or more email lists, and if so whether they are "double opt-in" addresses. How often are emails sent out and what are the costs and services involved? Try to request samples of previous emails and check the spam blacklists to see if the domain name is included.

9. SEO Optimized. Verfiy the website's Google page ranking and check to see how many backlinks the site has. You can use the free Seo For Firefox plugin to get a quick snapshot of all this information and more.

10. Transfer of Funds. You may want to use Escrow.com to transfer the funds as Pay Pal will not help you dispute a claim for anything but physical goods. If you would like to use Pay Pal then you might propose that the seller mail you a cd with the contents of the website via Fed Ex, UPS or DHL. If your Pay Pal account is funded by a credit card or bank account, and you are not buying with a Pay Pal cash balance, then you may be able to dispute a claim with your bank or credit card company.

You can also request to pay for the sale with a money order or a check mailed through a "tracked service" allowing you to confirm the seller's address and contact information.

11. Agreements. You can request a signed agreement covering everything included in the transaction. This can be faxed or sent to your home or business by tracked mail.

12. Seller History. You can get a quick read on the history of the seller by looking up their positive or negative feedback. Also, do a Google search on the seller's username to see if they come up in any other forums, and if so, see what people are saying about them. You can also request references from the seller that you can preferably contact by phone.

13. Instinct. Trust your gut instinct as you deal with the seller. Has the seller been helpful and communicative? Request the sellers phone number and have a conversation with them.
