398: Build a Website or Buy One that's Already Working?


Listen Later

If you want to start an online business, you’re probably going to need to build a website.

But could you shortcut the process by just buying one that’s already working?

In this episode, which is the fourth and final episode of our Showdown series this month, we’re comparing two ways you operate a revenue-generating website; building your own site vs buying an established website.

For this debate, I’ve got a couple of powerhouse guests:

  • Mark Webster from AuthorityHacker.com and the Authority Hacker podcast, one of my favorite resources for all things SEO and affiliate marketing. He’ll be representing the build side of this conversation.
  • Dom Wells from Onfolio.co is on the buy side. Onfolio, among other things, has a management service for website investors. He’s been in the website building, buying, and monetizing space for years.
  • There are pros and cons to both starting and buying websites. But, as you’ll hear discussed, there are some key differences between each method and might help you lean one way or the other.

    Tune in to hear both Mark and Dom discuss the different strategies behind:

    • Getting started
    • Finding a site to buy
    • Quick wins and monetization
    • Marketing
    • Pros and cons of each model
    • And more
    • These guys both have a lot of experience in building and buying websites. By the end of this one, you’ll have a good idea which path is best for you.
