Blog Flipping Gone Wild
I’m pretty exited in what’s going to happen in the next few weeks. What’s going to happen you ask? A blog flipping contest is going to happen, that’s what!
Quick Overview
Other than my own individual site-flipping project, I am currently involved in another project. Over at Site Flip U (a blog made by an old friend, Bryan Clark), there is a huge blog flipping competition that is going to start very soon. The competition consists of different teams with 5 people in each team. Once the competition starts, all of the teams have 45 days to create and sell a blog. Whoever sells their blog for the biggest sale-price wins.
What Exactly Do We Win?
Well, here’s the thing to all of this that makes it interesting. To enter the contest, a team has to pay up $25 for an entrance fee. All of the entrance fees will then go in a pot, and whoever wins the contest will win that pot of cash. As of writing this post, there are 4 teams that are set up. Do the math, and that’s $100 up for grabs, minus the $25 that my team has paid for.
But that’s not all. Don’t forget about the profit made by selling your team’s blog. So that means that even if there’s only 1 winning team, everyone still gets some cash from selling their own blog. Oh, and did I mention that all of the losing teams will have to send over 10% of their blog sale earnings to the winning team? Yup. More cold hard cash for the winners.
My Team
When the news about this competition first broke out, people everywhere were trying to get in on Bryan Clark’s team (including myself). But unfortunately for us, Bryan had already started drafting his team even before he published the post about the competition! So my hopes were gone in getting a guaranteed win since Bryan basically makes a living flipping blogs. Then I tried Joe. When I got his reply, he had already made his team.
But then there was Ryan. Yes, good ole’ friend Ryan Shamus who now also flips blogs for a living. When I contacted him to see if he already got his team made, I was told that there were still a few spots open. So I got in, and so did 3 other people. Meet our team, “The A-Team”:
- Me (Co-Captain)
- Ryan (Team Captain)
- Justin Kander
- R.J. Adams
- Paul de la Warr
Some of you guys might not know the rest of my team members, but the only thing you need to know is that they all have mad site-flipping skills! We’re ready to kick some a$$! If you’re interested in joining this competition, hurry up and get a team started! You have just a few hours left before the doors close for new teams. Read this post to learn how to get started or to see the official rules on how the competition works, and here’s the list of teams that are participating. Other than that, I’ll wish the other teams good luck! You guys will need it.
