How would you value a site?

Ok so I have a few sites which I am planning on selling, I sold one recently for $7,000. I was earning $850 a month from it. (was this a good or bad deal?)

Anyways I have another site and I want to know what a good price would be for it.
The amount of potential you can make with it is high, I would say up to $200 a day from it.
However currently I am making about $10-$50 a day from it, this past month made $700 from it. It is 1.5 months old. Managing the site takes like 10 minutes. No traffic from google, all traffic is from forums and a few other sites that are ranked in google.

Knowing that information, how much would you say I could sell it for on Flippa?
I am a brand new seller on Flippa (so maybe people would not consider me trusted?)

    I have site that sold 80x the last 30 days revenue and I have site that was sold for just 2 times the last 30 days revenue.

    My suggestion is, if you feel that the site earning has peak, just list it on flippa ... it is hard to determine the value with a few details. Always the best to let the market determine the value of your site.

    Ever notice that people who spend money on WSO, memberships and courses, are always complaining about being broke and not making any money ?

    They should have bought ASSETS instead.

    Hey aluminum -- you might not know this, but Flippa doesn't allow listings for sites under 3 to claim revenue. If your site is only 1.5 months old, you won't be able to claim the $50 a day you're currently making as revenue.

    One possibility here is to hold on to the site for a few more months, work on it a bit, get it back to the level where it was making about $100 a day, and sell it then.

    Adie had a very good answer to your question.

    But for me, the bottom line is that price should near or over the money that earns, i.e. if you can make more by keep it, then just keep it

    I would list it on Flippa, and see what the market says, like already mentioned here. When you list, you can still talk about that it has made the $50 a day, but it won't be verified on Flippa because of the time limits of the age of the site. You can always put a reserve on it that is high and see where it goes, if it hits your reserve, awesome, otherwise see what happens.

    But, you said that you made $700 last month with it? You may want to consider holding on to it for a couple of months and see if you can repeat that. You may not want to sell it if you make $700 a month, spending 10 minutes a day. Then you would also be able to list with verified income in the future on Flippa if you really wanted to.

    Lots of information needed to value a site. Traffics, Google Pagerank, Backlinks, domains age and etc. You only have a few information so it would be very hard to value it.

    Hey there,

    Because the site is so new and unstable its not going to fetch nearly as much as it would a few months ago. Unfortunately, over the past year there were alot of 1 month wonders (sites that made x,xxx in the first month that sold for 1-2x revenue making a quick buck for the seller, but were fraudulent).

    So, I think you have two options:

    1. If you need the cash, sell now. Start your BIN price at 8-10x Monthly earnings. Put your reserve at your current monthly income. See what happens and adjust your reserve/BIN accordingly.

    2. Hold the site and use it to build actual wealth.

    Quick site selling works for the short-term. But for someone like yourself. If you can build these types of sites and build cash flowing assets, then you're sitting on something very profitable for the long run.

    Thanks!

    I take the monthly earnings and multiply that by 12
