Internet Marketer Tim Phelan announces launch of an e-book about flipping web sites. The e-book Flipwebsites: The Definitive Guide has information, tips, examples and ideas on how to buy, build and sell web sites. Included with the e-book is a lifetime membership to a private forum where the discussion is about flipping web sites.

San Jose, CA May 2, 2007 — Flipping web sites has become a hot way for thousands of internet marketers to make money on-line and now there is a new e-book at www.flipwebsites.com, written by internet marketer Tim Phelan, that helps those new to “flipping” shorten their learning curve.

Tim Phelan started making a full time living on-line almost three years ago with various degrees of success. He tried affiliate marketing, multi level marketing, blogging, adsense etc…however it wasn’t until he decided to buy some established web sites and then sell them at a higher priced that he really found something that worked well for him.

“I found out that I could make much more money by simply finding good sites, buying them and then working on improving them. Then I sold some.” says Tim. “The time involved was comparatively minimal and the amount I made was significantly more than any other way I found to make money on-line. I felt I had discovered something new although I knew others had been doing this for years.”

One of the reasons it may have seemed new was that not many people talked about this way to make money on-line before. There were e-books and courses about affiliate marketing, adsense domination, building lists, creating membership sites but there wasn’t much information about buying, building and selling web sites.

“That’s why I decided to write my guide about this neglected subject. I want this guide and the accompanying lifetime membership to the private forum buy-alert.com to be the place to learn all aspects of how to buy web sites, build web sites and sell web sites.”

With the recent sale of YouTube for $1.6 billion to Google along with other high profile and high priced sales, the business and work at home world are taking notice. Of course, selling a web site for billions isn’t likely for most, but thousands of people are finding flipping web sites as a real way to earn significant incomes.

An example of a recent sale more realistic for a savvy internet marketer is the sale of mybloglog.com to Yahoo for about $10 million. This site was run by a 5 person team and was just a few years old. Another example is the recent sale of blogcatalog.com. This site was sold for $40,000 and was making $1,500 a month at the time. Since the purchase of blogcatalog the new owners have made significant improvements to make it more web 2.0 and the result is a surge in traffic. In just a few months the site probably has doubled in worth. Perhaps they will be able to sell it for $10 million in a couple of years.

“That is what flipwebsites is all about.” says Phelan. “Just as in home flipping you look for a property that you know you can renovate, with flipping web sites, you look for web sites that you can think of ways to improve. It’s all about buying low and selling high of course.”

Phelan also says people with little money to spend can get started in this industry by building web sites and selling them. He compares it to the real estate practice of pre-construction deals where you pay a small percentage down on a property yet to be built, and then once it’s built flip it. “Flipping homes isn’t always about buying existing homes and selling them. It can also be building and flipping. The same is true for web sites. A flip can also be something as small as making $50 from a site you made just the day before or as huge the $1.6 billion Youtube sale. To me what Youtube did was a ‘flip’. ”

Various techniques and ideas are discussed in the ebook and are continued in the private forum at www.buy-alert.com. Phelan is now showing some examples at the forum where he is renovating older sites to increase their value. Also included with the membership are discounts on products such as scripts, reports, e-books and web sites.

If you were to park one million cars end to end, how much room would you need? According to Tom Lombardi, the line would stretch from New York City to Los Angeles. And as president of AirportParkingReservations.com, Lombardi should know — because his company is about to book its millionth online airport parking reservation sometime this month.

Suffield, CT May 3, 2007 — If you were to park one million cars end to end, how much room would you need? According to Tom Lombardi, the line would stretch from New York City to Los Angeles. And as president of AirportParkingReservations.com, Lombardi should know — because his company is about to book its millionth online airport parking reservation sometime this month.

AirportParkingReservations.com began accepting guaranteed reservations — with the payment of an online deposit — three and a half years ago. Today travelers can reserve a space at over 200 parking lots located at more then 65 U.S. and Canadian airports.

“When I first spoke to parking lot owners about making reservations online, they thought I was crazy. Who would go to the Internet to book parking?” Lombardi recalls. With a background in travel agency sales and airport parking marketing, he knew that travelers would be happy to reserve parking at the airport if given the proper delivery system. The Internet, he realized, would allow for the consolidation of the independent parking lots and provide the means to issue a confirmation as proof of a guaranteed parking reservation.

Pete Carrea, owner of Winner Parking in Philadelphia, was one of the first to sign on. “I jumped at the idea of attracting new customers through the Internet and AirportParkingReservations.com delivered from day one,” he says. “If you’re online researching airport parking, you obviously don’t know where to park. So it’s no surprise that AirportParkingReservations.com is my single biggest source of new customers.”

Many of the lots listed on AirportParkingReservations.com offer options for self-parking, valet and/or covered parking. Some even offer an array of car care services, including car wash, detailing and oil change. And all the lots listed provide luggage assistance along with free shuttle service to and from every terminal.

“Our customers repeatedly tell us how thrilled they are to be able to both save money and avoid the stress and inconvenience of driving around searching for a parking space at the airport,” says Lombardi. “In fact, I suspect it won’t be long before we announce our two millionth reservation.”

About AirportParkingReservations.com, Inc.
At AirportParkingReservations.com, travelers provide their itinerary and airport of departure before choosing from over 200 airport parking operators providing a range of parking options (including self, valet, indoor/covered). The parking lots are secure, most offer discounted rates, and all provide free shuttle service with complimentary luggage
assistance to and from the airport terminals. Reservations can be made online or toll-free at 800-PARKING (727-5464).
