Typically for a quick turnaround it can take you from 2 to 3 hours or one or two days for a bigger project. Bear in mind that many factors from design and subject along with the site age will determine the sale price. It stands to reason that the more time and research you invest in your projects, the more money you can expect to make.
How much can you sell for?

This sounds lie a business that anyone who know how to build webs sites can do. In fact if you decide to create a blog you can just use premade wordpress templates.
