Flippa is decent, but there is a lot of garbage to wade through to find anything real. Empire Flippers is a little better, they vet the sites some before posting them. Bizbuysell.com is mainly focused on brick and mortar businesses, but there are some online businesses for sale there as well.

Having said that, finding a true "passive income" business that is profitable and someone wants to sell is challenging. Most of them (that I have found) end up being scams. Do your due diligence and scrutinize their income and expense reports, traffic figures, etc. I can usually "smell" when something isn't right.

I bought a coupon site on flippa and realized a lot of the traffic was from images of coupons. that linked to the site.

No way to do due diligence before hand?

You don't know what you don't know. the traffic lasted a couple months. only spent a $1000 on it. I just wasn't willing to put copyrighted material on the web linking back to my site to get traffic.

I find it kind of funny how many sites on flippa make tons of money but the people just "don't have time" for a "no maintenance" site. And when you look at the charts it's, of course, all traffic leading up to the listing and nothing more.
