Why people buy websites:

Most people who buy websites are marketers themselves. People buy websites because they believe they can improve the value of the website. Improving the value of the website means adding more content and providing valuable information to the blog readers. When marketers come across sites with great content that are not marketed optimally then potential buyers would  make good offers to blog owners to buy their sites.

The website sellers get good reward for their content on their website. So it’s a win-win situation for both parties.

How much to sell the website for:

This is a common question people tend to ask when they decide to sell the blog for. The value of a website primarily depends on the amount of revenue it is generating  per month at present. One can expect to sell at 10-15 times the monthly income of the website. Ultimately it boils down to the marketing and negotiating skills of the website owner and potential buyer.

Where to sell it:

 There are several ways to sell websites. One of the most common ways to do is to list your website on sites which are meant exclusively for selling websites. These sites are called as website flipping sites. Flippa is the industry leader in website flipping. You can pay for website listing and mention the number of visitors to your blog/month, number of subscribers and revenue generated from your blog. Your blog will get great exposure since it will be viewed by hundreds of thousands of potential buyers and  you can decide to sell it by choosing the best offer from potential buyers.
