Questions about selling a brand new WP site

    I wanted to ask if it would possible to sell a site based on potential because of what it has and offers and not on traffic or revenue yet.

    For example I build a site with a premium theme from studio press ($79) I install WP robot (169) RSS pro poster (47) WP unique (32) Video Jackpot ($100) images from shutterstock ($50) and all the free recommended plugins. The domain would come from research on niche finder (90) and I would highlight that as well.

    Do you think it would be possible to sell a brand new site based on this information, on the potential traffic and revenue a site like this can generate with adsense, amazon and clickbank?

    I'm talking maybe $50 per site, I don't know if that is too low or too high, or if it would even sell, I would also offer free hosting and free domain transfer and help on everything needed but again I don't know if it would sell.

    I created a subdomain site just to practice, can you tell me it if looks like a site that could be sold, it's the currency one on my sig. Again that was only practice and I don't think I would pick such a competitive niche.

    thank you for your help

    Most people who buy other people's websites are interested in results.
    If you cannot show at least $1 per day income for the past 60-days, you will probably be very hard pressed to find anyone interested in buying it.

    If i am not wrong then there are few people who buy fresh sites as well and then develop it at their own.

    DON.

    I'd agree with you. However it is a much smaller market and the majority of the time the sites bought have to be unique. Not just a premium theme but one that is customized to look and act different AND have a good domain.

    This isn't 'always' the case but it's more likely to get a sale that way.

    cool thank you for the replies, I will try one and see what happens, if it does not sell then I will keep it and develop it. Otherwise I will build traffic on them and try to sell them.

    I agree with your point that your blog price more compare to other only just because of paid tools/service/products whcih you are using. I really beleive that you're unable to make even single $1.00 / day then all your value is worthless. I suggest you to keep work on your project, get good results and then think about to sell it.
