How to Quit your Day Job with Turnkey Websites
by: Ty Wenzel
It's one of the hottest searched terms on the internet right now: Turnkey Websites. What are they exactly? According to Wikipedia, The term turnkey is often used in the technology industry, most commonly to describe pre-built computer "packages" in which everything needed to perform a certain type of task is put together by the supplier and sold as a bundle.
In other words, turnkey websites usually refers to getting a pre-built fully-loaded website for one low price, including its domain name, design, images, programming – and at times, also the dropshipper contact info to deliver the products if it's an e-commerce website or the ebooks that the website is selling.
How exactly do you make a living with turnkey websites? By getting them through a low cost turnkey website provider and selling them over and over again on venues like ebay – not only do you secure the customer's money with the final cost of the auction, but you secure this same customer as your hosting customer who will pay you around $9.95 every month for however long they keep their website.
But you know nothing about servers and the hosting business? So what – most of my hosting resellers have never even owned an html editor before, but they're making thousands of dollars a month following my user-friendly plan. Here is exactly what you need to make a lot of money by selling turnkey websites:
1. A hosting reseller account (

2. A membership to a turnkey website provider (

3. A free html editor (we recommend NVU)
4. An ftp program (we recommend FlashFXP)
5. An account with ebay
That's it.
Here is the process:
1. You log into your turnkey website membership and download, say, one of the Real Estate websites.
2. You purchase a domain for it and set the Domain Name Servers to your hosting reseller account (i.e. ns1.yoursite.com and ns2.yoursite.)
3. You install the downloaded turnkey website to your hosting reseller server.
4. You list it on eBay with the description that they will win this fabulous Turnkey Real Estate website and it is REQUIRED THAT THEY HOST THE SITE WITH YOU for $9.95 per month (or whatever you want to charge).
Auction ends and let's says you made $175 for the website alone, on the low side. You just made $175 PLUS WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IN RESIDUAL INCOME from the $9.95 per month! We have resellers making about $12,000 per month within one and a half years, but you can realistically expect about $2000 per month within the first 8 months or less.
5. You next install a Term Paper Store with a snappy domain and once again, you made another $9.95 per month.
6. Then the ebook store gets you another $9.95 per month.
TURNKEY WEBSITE SELLING IS GREAT BUT THE REAL MONEY IS IN THE HOSTING. You get the idea. You're selling information.
The only requirements of most turnkey website membership stores is that you are required to sell their websites with a domain already installed onto your server. You can never sell the script as they do or your account will be terminated.
This is not a get rich quick scheme or a slap 'em up website that you hope will make you money just by existing on the internet – that NEVER happens. Like any business, it takes some sweat equity – but not very much. Normally it takes about 2 hours per day in installing websites (usually takes about 5 – 10 minutes each) and answering questions from potential buyers.
When you quit your day job, you will have so many customers that you will be working 8 hours a day as I do, but it's all worth it – working at home or your own office with no one to answer to but yourself is worth everything in the world!
