first sale

I am planning to sell one of the websites that I have been working on, but I have never sold a webstie before. What is the best way to go about doing it and how do i start?

 

First, you need to come up with a selling price. There are a variety of ways to determine this, but a simple calculation is yearly profit x 3 years. Keep in mind, the number of years you use is determined by a variety of factors (ie: website niche, reputation, popularity, brand regognition, page rank, etc.). But I would say paying for 3 years of earnings is about average...

 

I would go to a website marketplace like Flippa.com and observe the auctions. You will see what information buyers ask for, what information sellers provide. Try to find a site that is in a similar space as yours and see how popular the auction is (keep in mind all the factors as stated by fpaulego can impact the popularity).

 

Sold it a flippa !!!!! or you may just provide this web design services and earn money base on their request.

usually selling a site is not that easy ...unless it would be a nice template ! high pr website ! or base on their business need.

 

You have the point buddy!

 

First of all an income projection/ annum. then chart a portfolio this will help you better to sell your site

 

Peachncream I think this daddy03 has a really good ideas for selling website at Flippa.com and definitely study it carefully before going further.

 

thanks for all the help. My website is historicgraveyards.com. Can anyone tell me what it's worth?

 

Not a lot , the domain name is not bad . I'd say that is 10 to 100 but the rest of the website is next to worthless . It's just a (badly designed) blog filled with YouTube free content . Judging by the interest for this niche the traffic is also low . So the only thing worth anything is the domain name .

Sorry to say this but don't get any hopes .

 

well its one of the first websites ive made. im just starting out and trying to learn as i go

 

I'm not criticizing you , I'm criticizing the website .

 

What about just estabilished sites? (without revenue, visitors, but with some content)

 

thanks for the feedback. I was told that the domain was worth at least 50 on its own because it is 8 years old and pr2.

 

The best way would be is reading some articles on successful website buying and selling.I know many people make a good amount of money by selling website in Flippa.You can read their experience too by searching in Google.
