I'm considering selling a site I've had for awhile now, now making $250 to $280 per month with CPALead. It takes 30 to 40 minutes a week to maintain, very easy stuff - could be outsourced for under $10 easily. Domain is a .com and just over a year old now. I started up the CPALead stuff mid April this year and made; April: $84.92 May: $223.80 June $283.81 July (Up until the 25th) $257.50 Looks like it should hit $280 again this month. My question is, should I try to sell it on DP or on a dedicated website auction site? Also - roughly how much do you think I should set my BIN at? Thanks guys
Why do you want to sell it if it's making an income if you don't mind me asking? Rough rule of thumb is 8 - 10x monthly income. But it also depends on other factors such as where the traffic comes from and how much there is. Not sure if you would get that kind of cash on DP. Sitepoint maybe.
I would have to agree with the above estimate. Some websites can fetch 12+ months revenue, but with the limited revenue proof I think the range mcfox suggested is pretty spot on.
Funny, two replies and I recognize both names. Nice @mcfox - to be honest I'm not sure if I'm going to sell it yet or not; I am attached to it and I know it is a good little earner. That said, I do want to move out of the Webmaster biz by the end of the year I think. Frankly I don't enjoy it any more, it's just a chore - I've begun developing apps and want to focus on that for at least the next 5 years. Plus the cash injection would help me with that too, both with artwork, promotion and buying myself a desk that isn't old and wonky, lol. @dcristo - Thank you. IF I do decide to sell it I might wait a month or two more so it has a more solid history or $280 to $300 per month, then aim for 10x monthly revenue. I agree it is unlikely to sell it for that much to anyone on DP, but will definitely have a look at sitepoint - thank you
This is not right time to sell this site. Please wait patiently to get more price for this cool website after 6 more months.
if its organic traffic im ready to pay you * avg 10-12 month fast cash money. can you send me more details about the site ? and stat of the traffic ? do you have google analitics ?
As i see form ur details, its income is increasing with every month. So if it is not necessary, u must keep it.
Mcfox, I know Biger - so I'd trust him - however I'm sorry to say that the traffic is not organic. (Not currently, anyway.) I do wish to sell it as I want to move out of the Webmaster business; however I may hold onto it a few more months to try and get a better price. I know selling it might seem silly, but frankly I just don't want to be tied to the internet for business any more; it isn't creative or fun for me these days. I also don't have analytics; however the eventual buyer will (I imagine) only be interested in the number of clicks and leads on CPALead; for where the traffic comes from I have one source, which I'll share with them. Thanks again everyone for all the responses
you should maybe give it a a go trying to sell it here but where ever you sell it you will have to give PROOF of TRAFFIC and REVENUE. Also you should get around $1000-$2000 for this site because of your earnings, but i suggest keeping it
It's OK if you want to message me about the site. I'm not online as much these days though so don't expect an immediate reply.
Things are good, my birthday is approaching and the weather will start to warm up soon. On that note, we should not bump this thread with chit chat.
