I have a site that I am looking to sell. Since January, it has brought in around $5000 a month in income (after expenses). How many months is the general rule of thumb for the sale of a site? I was thinking 12 months. Am I too optimistic, or am I leaving money on the table.
I am starting a new 9-5 that is commission based and need to keep my attention focused on that. Plus, being that it is a commission based job, the lump sum I recevie from the sale of this site will sustain my living expenses until I get rolling. This is the site: http://www.collectible-central.com/
Hello, All depend.. Do you have a good domain name? Do you have unique content? How old is your domain? Etc etc.... Jakomo
Is traffic organic, or PPC? That's the biggest factor I would think. If organic, I would think 10-12 months would be possible. If you're spending 10K on PPC to make 15k, then I would think a slightly lower factor.
I could easily put my CJ page on here that shows payments. Unless you are interested in purchasing the site, I will not post that information.
mrX, how do you know that site is the selling site? If that's the site and that information is true (created dec 06, 5k at january 07), why would anyone sell a powerful income like that.
I folks, i´m really a newbie and iread these forums to learn something and i work hard to one day be able to earn some money. i don´t know if i´m writing a nonsense here but you will tell me. to earn 5000$ / month and even supposing that all the traffic this member gets is 100% targeted, how can this be possible if: As you all must know one way to see if a website is well promoted is to go to google and type mydomain.com+links If the url from this gentleman is http://www.collectible-central.com/ and you go to google and type collectible-central.com+ links the result is that he just has 4 pages with links. i really don´t believe on that income. I´m very sorry, i don´t mean to offend the seller. I also would like to ask you if i´m thinking correctly. Regards pipaupio
Why would you sell a site like this i advise you to sit back and say LOL i am becoming sucessful becuase 5k a month is very sucessful!
That site doesn't make $500 a month, let alone $5000. You'll never sell it for what a site making that much would be worth, because anybody with $50,000 lying around would never be stupid enough to believe that site makes money. You could photoshop some earnings screenshots, and it still wouldn't trick anybody. (not anybody with the money to buy it, anyway.)
People, always trust people with 4 posts. Specially showing no evidence or anything he MUST be legit. Cough. Stay cautious on this one.
