Chris Hammond lives in the sunny Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. He is what we call a certified Flippa Super Seller: he has completed 13 transactions on the marketplace, for a total of $572,943 US.
Chris was a Project Manager in the corporate world for over ten years. After climbing to the top of the corporate ladder, he realized he wasn’t feeling fulfilled in his career – and life. That’s when he decided to change everything.
Freeing up his property’s capital, he started to make various investments into websites on Flippa. This allowed him to completely change his life, giving him the freedom he lacked in the corporate world.
“Having capital invested in a website is one of the best ways to keep your worth as an individual”

How it All Began on Flippa
Chris bought his first website on Flippa for just $400. The content site focused on natural dyeing products, and wasn’t monetized. Chris had to invest time in making it a revenue generating business. He monetized it with ads and affiliate programs, created an e-book and one year later, he sold the website for over $4K on Flippa.
This was the point at which he knew he had tapped into a winning formula – and his next acquisition resulted in a six-figure exit. Chris acquired a unique content website in the dream interpretation niche, he improved it over the course of a year, and eventually sold it for over $200K on Flippa.
Chris’ next purchase was an established 11-year-old blog focusing on French-inspired weddings. When he decided to sell it, the deal took just 30 days to complete, and he had multiple offers from a diverse pool of buyers, including big corporations.
“There’s so many people monitoring Flippa. You can press Buy Now, be on a Zoom call with someone and then the next day put in an offer, and the transaction is wrapped up.”

Finding The Perfect Business
In 2022, Chris was browsing Flippa and found an unmissable opportunity: a nine-year-old WooCommerce site selling engraved seeds, Live Love Bean. He purchased it right away for $4K, knowing that there was plenty of room for growing the business.
The business is now booming: the products are sold online, direct to consumers, through wholesale, as well as at local markets during the weekend. Chris and his family are absolutely loving this new business venture.
“To anyone thinking of buying or selling on Flippa, I would definitely recommend it.”
