Do you think using a turnkey website can be profitable?

    I know someone who is willing to sell me a turnkey Amazon website (directs to Amazon when they find what they are looking for via affiliate links)

    Has anybody done this?

    It seems a great way to start off in the affiliates business with the possibility or having one designed at a later date?

    It just seems too good to be true. Why would someone someone sell something for something at a fraction of the price they would earn by programming sites specifically for clients? Is it, because the site is already made and it costs nothing to just duplicate it again and again?

    I can say from my own personal and business experience that turnkey website can be profitable. I use them daily in my business, and I'm happy with the earnings results.

    In software development, typically the majority of the time is spent in developing applications, once they are developed, they can typically be distributed multiple times over. This is what companies like Adobe, and Salesforce do.


    thanks,

    Because they want fast cash. If they decided to keep the site for themselves it might take three months or more to make significant money from ads and affiliate sales. Why wait 3 months if you can get the money now.

    Turnkey website is easy to make and just like you said they can redo it again and again for different niche and make good living out of it.

    I agree with armanpi. Turnkey sites can be redone again and again and flipped repeatedly.

    Yes but it takes some customization on your part. Take B.A.N.S. for example. How many of those can you churn out and not make a cent.
