    I'm thinking of buying a developed, self updating website to do with twilight. Cost around $60USD. Are these types of websites worth buying and can they make money? What things should I be looking out for? Your opinions greatly appreciated. Cheers

    No, self updating websites get found out quick with google and noto only that but wordpress blogs are free.

    Rather than purchase a developed website, look for a site with an aged domain name, these can be a good buy if they are keyword specific to what you are marketing. Google and other search engines will be quicker to show up your site in their results.

    That sounds like a cheap price. There must many of them? Try designing something with a friend. But good luck with your efforts.

    I believe it's worth buying a developed site as long as you're comfortable with the niche and know stuff about it. You dont want to buy something that doesnt interest you...I did once in the past and the site (with a great domain name and potential) is sitting untouched.
