“Tiffany, Will You Flip My Lens for Me?”
February 8th, 2008 | 
Author: Okay, since I launched Flip That Lens, I’ve heard from some people who have no trouble selling their lenses off for $200 a pop and some who can’t seem to find an audience.
I don’t have time to evaluate every single lens to tell you what I think, but I’ve gotten a TON of emails asking me to flip the lenses
for you for a split in the profits.
So something popped into my mind ever since I bought a lens the other day, fixed it and sold it. (Of course this was a disaster
lens I had to repair): What if I buy the lens from you for a set amount, then I turn around and sell them for 50% more than what I
paid for them?
Like an affiliate program for an eBook, I’d make about a 50% commission. So if you had a lens I knew I could flip for $125, I’d
pay you $60 for it, you’d transfer it to me and then I’d turn around, after doing whatever I felt needed to be done to it (if
anything) and sell it to my list.
The thing is, I don’t want people offended if I say “no thanks.” Some of your lenses may need too much work in my opinion, some may not be about topics I feel are sellable topics, and if you used PLR to create it - I won’t take it (I check it against copyscape). It has to be unique content for my list. You must have thick skin 
I have something that will help you, too. Go to:
http://www.squidoo.com/lenscritique and read what I say to other people because it’s almost always the same - longer introduction, use keywords in your titles, tag it to 40 tags, etc. It MUST have a
250 word (approx) introduction, 2 additional text modules, a guestbook and then the rest is up to you as far as whatever you
use - poll modules with hyperlinked product options, Amazon spotlights (don’t use the big Amazon module), etc.
If you’re interested, email me at tiffany @ tiffanydow.com with your lens URL and any behind-the-scene stats I can’t see, such as traffic or sales, and I’ll get back to you. Send me a list of lenses if you want to.
Whew - hope I don’t hurt too many feelings along the way! I’m brutally honest with my lens critiques, but it’s meant to make you
a better lensmaster and not to be mean

How about a before and after video showing how you made changes to a lens and flip it? Also where you get your graphics from you use on your lens?

errr…. If you buy at $60 and sell at $125 shouldn’t that be 108.3% more than you paid for them?
So that’s how you got such good golf scores!
