Can buy ready-made code directly

Do a website and then spread to other countries, expect foreigners will love and use, we call "website export", such a site will not be used in Chinese. However, apart from language and the knowledge of setting up websites, the most common obstacle for people is that they do not know what websites will be popular with foreigners. In other words, cultural barriers.

In addition, even if you think of good ideas, how to start is a big problem. Unless you happen to be a programmer, the average person probably won't be able to write. Hire a programmer to write? It sounds thang big and the budget is a problem. Get a company to do it? That's really big. After the site has been written to promote, a wide range of questions that people do not know how to do.

If you already have some programs written by foreigners, how about buying them directly?

I write my second English website program in Chinese New Year. Because of limited capacity, it took about 500 dollars to buy three off-the-shelf programming components (Microsoft ACTIVX), directly in the development of the Web site. Many people probably never thought they could buy ready-made code, in fact, there are a lot of places to buy code abroad, and buying behavior is very common.

These codes range from discussion areas, customer service systems, order systems, content management to search engines, classified ads, and even free open-source software. Download or purchase these software to modify than from scratch to build faster, the technical knowledge requirements are relatively low. For example, the author does not PHP, but it is not a problem to modify the PHP code written by others.

To find resources for free/paid code, you can search with keywords similar to the following:

Free Search engine Scripts

Directory Scripts

Add scripts to the type of program you are searching for. In general, a large number of opportunities will be found in the foreign BBS or forums where someone is asking about a certain kind of code which is better. A closer look at the discussion on the web will help you get the right code, or find a place where you can download free code.

Direct purchase of foreign websites

Only the code you buy must also be changed or applied to the code that you are currently writing. It's still an obstacle for people who can't even modify the program. So, is it possible to buy some foreign websites directly? Do not want to do the website and export abroad to the trouble, directly buy foreigners do not have to do?

What? Buy a foreign website!

This idea for the author is also very unprecedented, we have never thought of this possibility. When I was immersed in the promotion of my second English website, an idea came out of my mind: I could actually sell my first English website I finished. So, the search engine into the following keywords to "How to sell the good English website" research:

How to sell a website

After reading a lot of pages and discussion area, I came to a website called sitepoint.com Forum. This is a very famous personal webmaster concentration, which lurks a large number of network marketing experts, they are good at making a website to make money, there are many people are in the Thousand Dollar Millionaire. This forum provides an auction platform for people to buy and sell websites.

SitePoint marketplace:established Web Sites for Sale

Look at this auction area, what other sites do you buy and sell? I have been watching for a long time, a little silly. My second English site spent one months of time to develop their own, online after the promotion of the situation is not smooth, but also according to the results of the promotion of the site modification. However, there are many grabs websites, many of which can be profitable to thousands of dollars a month.

Development of their own web site to enter foreign markets, the ultimate goal is not to profit. But if you buy these foreign websites, revise them and transfer them to your right promotion skills to bring immediate income, what am I working so hard to develop the Web site for? The website is not necessarily to do its own website can be exported!

Notes on buying and selling websites

The sale of the website is very rare in Taiwan, if any, it is often a tens of millions of to hundreds of millions of transaction between large companies. However, due to the vast number of foreign internet markets, small and medium-sized websites with a monthly income of thousands of to tens of thousands of dollars are ubiquitous, and many of these sites are run by even one person. Frequent trading leads to the existence of trading platforms for such trading sites.

Because the site itself is involved in technology, it is not suitable for the full web site operators do not have the concept of trading. Because it's not easy to figure out what to buy or how complicated it is to buy something. Many sellers offer services that are installed on their behalf, but only when the transaction is completed, and later maintenance is also required.

In general, the following items need to be paid attention to when buying a website:

-Source of revenue from the website. An ad league? Is it a commission to sell goods? is selling goods? If it's the first two, does the other person sell you the current AD League username? If the latter, the other side of the sale of goods there is no future? Is there any breach of the law? If there is a question of whether there is copyright in the sale of digital goods such as music files? Where are the music files?

-Site content sources. If it is a highly content-related site, buy the most troublesome is to update the content, because the content is in English, I really do not know how to deal with. Some sellers will provide you with a way to find new content, and this is the place to learn how foreigners can promote the site.

-Maintenance is easy. Most sellers will want you to prepare a website space, after the deal he can help you install. However, the site needs to be run and you always have to take the time to take care of it. There are a lot of websites claiming to take care of one hour a day. Ask each other to describe in detail what these one hours to do, the steps, preferably with the website admin background interface.

How to estimate the price of a website

In addition, the value of the site to how to estimate, is also an interesting science. For example, a website claims that he earns 1000 dollars a month, so it's priced at 3000 dollars. is the price high or low? Because everyone has a ruler, so the use of competitive bidding method will be the price of the market mechanism to determine the decision seems to be reasonable, anyway, the highest bidder.

But if the upside is that you want to sell the site, then how much do you want to sell the price you will be satisfied? It is generally believed that the price of a website should be three to five times times the monthly profit is reasonable. For example, the author's first English web site monthly profit is 1000 U.S. dollars, so the reasonable price is USD 3000 to 5000 yuan.

But if the site can only be sold for three months of profits, I believe many people think it is not to sell. There are many classic articles that say that the price of a website ultimately depends on how much the buyer is willing to pay. This sounds like nonsense proverbs seem to make sense, because if your site function is very special, so just match the buyer's needs, the price is often discussed.

Sometimes, your hand on the site with someone else's site to match up, can play a more attractive or lead to the site revenue than the original two individual plus total more, this is a complementary transaction, not only to see the other side of the current revenue just. As a result, there are a number of sites on the SitePoint, even if the monthly income is zero, can also find buyers.

Can a website operate indefinitely? In the fast-changing world of the Internet, it seems particularly unlikely. Always have an up-and-comer to launch an updated service. Therefore, when we are doing the business of the website for export, the heart is somewhat prepared in the appropriate time is the site to dispose of the time.

Profit end, website export complete. Next, put in a new project.
