How to Develop Sell Turnkey Websites on eBay

1. Brainstorm a list of 10 to 15 website topics that you believe meet two criteria: They should be topics people are interested in, and they should be ones that do not already have thousands of websites devoted to them.
2. Use a keyword tracker like Wordtracker.com to perform your keyword research for each topic. A keyword tracker is an invaluable tool because it tells you how often people search for the keywords you have in mind, suggests related keywords, and tells you how many websites already exist that use a particular keyword or keyword phrase. The key to a successful turnkey website business is keyword research.

3. Purchase a Web hosting reseller account. Look for one that allows you to have unlimited domains on one account. You will create new turnkey websites on this Web hosting account, then include a free year of hosting in the website package when you sell it.
4. Purchase a domain name for the website. The domain name ought to include your main keywords, if possible.
5. Choose a template for the website. There are many free templates available online. Load the template into your web design software.
6. Set up an Amazon.com affiliate storefront with items relating to the topic of the website. Follow the instructions to embed your Amazon.com storefront into the website. See the Resources section of this article for a link.
7. Add any extra features you think will increase the value of the website. Some good---and free---things to include are an open-source content management system like Joomla or Drupal, to make updating the site simple for the buyer.
8. Publish the website on your Web hosting account. Load the website in your browser and verify that it loads correctly.
9. Take screenshots of the front page of the website and of the storefront pages, as well as any extra features you include in the website.
10. Create a listing on eBay for the website. Be as descriptive as possible in your listing, and be sure to mention the free year of Web hosting, the Amazon Associates affiliate account, and any other extra features you have built into the website that are included in the price of the website.
11. When the website sells, transfer ownership of the domain name, affiliate account, and any other features you included to the buyer. Immediately email the buyer with a username and password to access the Web hosting control panel. If you included a content management system, send them the username and password to administer that as well.
