Should I Sell My Website?

Please Warriors I need your advice. I have a new website that deals with information on how to make $200 daily on facebook. I recently sold some few copies at a forum and I am planning to bring it to Warrior Forum as an WSO.
A member of the forum where I recently sold some few copies mailed me and requested to buy my website and the product for 10000% of the original price. That means he will have 100% control over it as if he's the original author and owner of the product.
Please should I sell it to him or I should keep promoting the product? Click here to visit the website

    Depends if you think you can make more selling it yourself or selling it to this guy. 10K% return is unreal unless your cost to start it up was $.10

    If you think you'll get more from promoting it yourself, then go for it. If this guy is giving you a great offer and you rather not be bothered with promoting it, just sell it. I sell my websites when I grow bored or need funding for new websites. If the offer is good, I say go for it, but only if you're ready to let your website go.

    If by "original price" you mean the price of your eBook, then 10,000% would be equal to selling 100 copies. That seems like a low figure to me, but it will depend upon your sales and your expectations of how many copies you think you can sell yourself.

    You need to promote the thing like crazy, show some profits and then list it with a real business broker. My last ebook/website (31 page ebook) sold for 48K.

    Flippa doesn't attract buyers with a lot of money (in my experience). There are folks with money that are dying to have an online business. If you can show it's profitable, they will pay you traditionally 2.5 x your yearly net.

    when I started my internet ad company a few years ago I was able to pull major profits when i sold it by showing generated traffic, sales, and I even threw in scripts I wrote up for the answering machine and phone as a bonus --Told the broker I would double his percentage if he got it done in 30 days instead of their 90 days he promised and sure enough 29 days. So the key if you want to do something else and want to make the most money have as much data and proof and value to your biz and you can even get more.

    Helper,

    I would outsource your video to someone as it is hard to hear you and understand you with your accent. Quite honestly it was brutal. I would have clicked off immediately if I was not trying to help you out.

    As far as the history of Facebook etc. I don't think it is necessary. Anyone wanting to market on Facebook probably already knows enough about it. Just get into the meat and potatoes of what you are doing, how you are making money and why they should opt in.

    I did not opt in. But based on the copy and bullet points I am assuming your sales letters, email follow ups, etc are lacking. I would outsource this as well.

    Basically if you want to make a go of this and the product is quality I would invest some money in the video and the copy. If you are not willing to make this investment than I would suggest selling it because with what you have right now I don't think you are going to get very far with it.

      I completely agree with MrMatt. The video was brutal, I couldn't understand you very well and the the history lesson on Facebook made me click away immediately. If I'm there to find out how to market with Facebook I better dang well know what Facebook is and why it's popular! Cut that part out and just skip to the part of how your product is different and how it can make the visitor money.

        Yeah, I'm afraid brutal is too kind.

        The photo at the top of the /thanks page is also hideous.

        Maybe I'm too picky and don't fall into the demographic of your target audience, but when I see a site with poor graphics and fuzzy images, I tend to wonder if the product being sold is as bad.

        As for the sale of the site, the percentages you mention mean absolutely nothing. Nobody could honestly give an opinion without knowing the actual dollars involved.

    One thing I noticed, you're using the testimonial box from Google Sniper. I don't think you can use that unless you have permission from the owner of the image .

    I would hold on to the site and make it more profitable. It will yield you more money in the future. There are some site vultures that are in the business of low balling site owners that do not know the true value and potential of their site.
