Make loads of money by moving your site to the UK

by Patrick Altoft on August 6, 2007

Living in the UK is expensive. We pay lots for insurance, houses, electronic gadgets, phone contracts and pretty much everything you can think of.

While this might be upsetting for most UK residents I just look upon it as a great opportunity to make more commission from affiliate marketing.
This post was inspired by a comment I made at Self Made Minds today. Last year I bought a site based on the money it was making outside the UK and transferred it to UK hosting and added UK specific affiliate offers. The site cost £250 and made £600 ($1200) in the first month.

So if your site is a .com hosted outside the UK and capable of running some affiliate links you could move it to UK hosting and make a load more money.

If you don’t want the hassle give me a call and I’ll buy it.

we have been outsourcing design to London and it has been the best thing that happened to us.
The change here is 1 x 5 so you can have an idea what I do every weekend :P

Never even thought about that… Would it work as well to host it in the US but cater to the UK?
