I have seen so many turnkey sites selling here on DP and many other forums and yes also on ebay and the price is also not high as compared to other sites. So my question is there any adv or disadvantage buying these turnkey sites.Can we earn some revenue from these sites. Which type(niche) of turnkey sites r better. Thanks
Are you refering to an established "turnkey business" or a newly created "turnkey site" that is ready for you acquire and start promoting? There is a difference. There are a lot of turnkey sites that have potential to be moneymakers as long as they are promoted properly. Most (unestablished) turnkey sites are bought by people that are expecting a get rich quick miracle. With that said, if you find a turnkey site that you feel has potential, then ask yourself a few of questions... 1. Will I have the drive to properly promote this site so that I can turn it into a moneymaker? 2. If I take the time to properly promot the site, will other people be interested in this site's product or services? 3. Is this site just like a million other sites out there? (In most cases it is ok because again, most people buy these sites hoping that they will magically make them rich and when it doesn't happen they let them sit there unbeknownst to the rest of the world.) Buying a turnkey "business" is a different story. An established site that has been properly promoted and already has a customer base can be a turnkey operation as well. In a case of a turnkey business, you would have to do the research, go over the numbers, and then decide if it is worth buying.
If many people have bought the same mini sites with same content, then Google can label your site as dup content. You may drop in ranking.
it is not worth it if you are't going to modify it coz it is basically a copy of many many other sites. My best suggestion is to work on the turnkey itself i.e. make it unique. After that, you are guaranteed to get some good traffic to it.
And then again getjimmy, a lot of people will buy but then lack the knowledge of getting them uploaded and working on a web host... A lot of good information provided above too. Best advice, if you like the basic concept that the site provides and can think of a few ways to modify it, (header, footer, sidebar) go for it.... For the most part they are still cheaper than most "templates" you can purchase.
Well as for turnkey sites, they could be very useful for somebody who hasn't the slightest clue on internet marketing, online business, etc. It could serve as the first step toward modifying their site, making their own, etc. Of course this is assuming the site can be modified. I started out with a turnkey site, but since then have modified it to my own liking (after toying with HTML and learning bits and pieces), and I have made money off of it.
