Someone somewhere has made a nice bit of money after selling off a small strip of land which can best be described as a ‘roadside path’.

The 50 year old adventurer and television presenter, Ben Fogle, spotted the land listed by a local estate agent and shared it on Instagram.

He couldn’t believe that what he saw listed could be priced so high.
The land outside Wokingham – complete with a narrow tarmac pavement, was originally priced at £100,000. The land has since been sold meaning that someone has actually bought a small strip of land with a roadside path.
I don’t know what sale price was agreed, but someone bought a strip of land which doesn’t look big enough to do much with.
Maybe the council sold it off to raise a few funds, I don’t much more about the sale itself other than someone somewhere has spent a lot of money buying a pavement to nowhere.
It’s crazy when you think about it.
This week I also saw that a detached house in Dorset with structural damage was sold for over a quarter of a million pounds.
We are not talking about a fairly large mansion house left derelict; this was a three or four bed family house in a typical British street.
The house is damaged and needs repair. I don’t believe that anyone could move straight into it without first address the structural damage.
If a short stretch of pavement in the UK can be sold for around £100,000 and a small structurally damaged and unliveable house can be sold for over £250,000… then it is safe to say that you need a good amount of money to live in the UK.
Property has always been a great way to make money but with prices being as high as they are currently very few people can afford to get started.
Online property on the other hand… that is incredibly affordable to get started with, and it can be incredibly profitable too.

Yesterday I read an email from a woman sharing how a student of hers had made over £30,000 ‘flipping’ websites.
Most of that £30,000 will be profit.
The student, a woman from Norway if I remember right, builds simple starter websites and then sells them on platforms such as Flippa.com.
These websites take very little effort to create and they can be sold quite quickly.
A hosting package that allows you to build multiple websites can cost less than £150 for two years.
Domain name purchases can cost as little as £12.
A website can be sold for well over £200 a piece. Some go for several thousands of pounds.
People buy websites as investments.
So if you build one which is earning money each month, even if it is just a few pounds, there are people who are willing to buy it off you.
Often these people have access to a lot of traffic and so if you had a website that was earning £20 a month, which is actually quite easy to achieve, they may buy it from you for around £2,000 and start sending people to that website.
It won’t be long before they have made their money back and are soon in profit.
If you build one website a month and sell it for £2,000 you have a rather decent £24,000 a year side business.
You can work on more than one website at a time.
There are people who make six figures each year selling websites.
If this is something that may interest you but you believe that you don’t have the technical skills to build a website, watch the video here:

PS… This really is an easy way to make money.
The biggest obstacle at the beginning is confidence. You may struggle to believe that you are able to build a website worth selling.
You can.
Start small, build a really simple website and list it for sale for £100 or £200 and start from there.
