When you think Christmas gifts, you don’t usually think of websites… but we are entering 2009 and times are changing.

Today we ask the question, would a website make a great gift this Christmas?

The short answer is YES, but, it has to be for a certain type of person.

A good understanding of the Internet is a plus, and the person should have an hour or so of free time per day to work on it.

Also, you should match the topic of the website to their passion.

So, for example, if they love football, you can buy them a fansite of their favourite football team.

How To Buy The Site

There are loads of articles on this site to show you how to buy a website, but the first step is to set a max budget. e.g $500

Then, you wanna head over to a site like Sitepoint.com and use their marketplace to find your site.

You can use the search feature to search for your chosen topics, or you can post a “Want To Buy” post which will request that type of site.

Summary

Buying a website as a gift can be a life changing gift, it can give them a whole heap of new opportunities, and potentially set them up with a monthly income for life.

That said, there are some technical aspects to the process, so consult with an expert first.
