How Much Is My Site Worth

17 replies
Hey everyone. Merry Xmas.

I have a site i have owned for a few months now, and want to sell it. It makes a true passive income of roughly $50 a month.

All traffic comes from Google, and it requires no work. Its a CPA site, thats how it is monetized.

I think the site is worth at least $400

What are your opinions. how much will i get for it on Flippa?

    I'd say you might get $400 for it, yeah. Why not list it and find out?

      i want to but im pretty nervous. never done this kind of thing before.

      Im thinking of doing the whole 7 day listing no reserve thing, but terrified that il have to let it go for $15 or something.

      Thanks for your reply. Anyone else got any advise?

    Yeah I'd say it's worth about $200 - $300 dollars. It depends how old the domain name is. All the best with it. If it's making $50 a month I'd hold on to it! all the best xxx

    If you are not sure that it will get around $400 or not, you should work more on that site and try to increase the monthly income. Let it be at least one years old and have a reliable income stream. It will become worth above thousand $$$.

    If your site is running from only last few months, then the highest price you can get is $400 on flippa, though the most reasonable would be around $250-$300
    Good luck with it

      I would say to put a little work into the site to generate more traffic. As is you could probably get around the $400.00 But, with a month or 2 of work you might be able to double or triple that.

      A good rule of thumb to find out how much a business is worth an thats any business would be to take the monthly income and times that buy four.

    There seems to be a consensus in the other replies that you most likely will only get $3-400 less selling fees, however, you asked "how much is my site worth?" and in your OP you answered that question when you stated it is producing a passive income of $50 a month or $600 a year.

    I would suggest that unless you need an immediate cash infusion of $3-400 why get rid of an asset that is producing $600 a year? Why not continue building sites/blogs to produce the same level of passive income and build a portfolio?

    Just a suggestion from someone who has considered selling his site many times and when evaluating the long term value to the short term cash has changed my mind. Think of your site as a stock or certificate of deposit that is producing dividends or interest, then consider how much money you would have to have in either of those instruments to produce $600 a year.

      Thanks for your reply. It does make sense, but i need the money quite sharpish. I may make a site similar to it in the future, but right now i want to concentrate on clickbank, so would like a lump some to get that started.

    You really need to be more specific. When you say few months, how many? If it's less then 6 months it's a pure gamble and I'd might give you $200, after confirming that everything else is the way you said it is. If it's more then 8 months I'd pay $400 no problem.

    I understand where you are coming from and I wish you success!

    You may wish to check out GoDaddy's auction and SEDO.com - although most of their focus is on domain names rather than functioning websites I believe they both accept fully functioning websites.

    One note of caution - based on what I have read both here at WF and other forums, I would be cautious about accepting payment via Paypal due to PP not backing up digital product refunds - there are several posts I read here at WF recently about people selling their domains, getting paid via PP and ultimately the "buyer" defaults and claims fraudulent payment etc..

    I have had past success with Escrow.com and the process was fairly easy and much more secure than PP. Good luck!

    But that depends on a number of factors: product being advertised (does it have a history?), design (is it professional?), content (how many articles?), SEO (how many links pointing to your website?), calls to action (what is being made to make the visitor click for th offer?), number of e-mails collected (does it have an e-mail list?), for example.
    Yes its completely passive. As for articles etc, not many because it doesnt need them. Call to action is not needed. People visit the site because they need something i provide, and they are willing to complete surveys for it.

    My advice - keep it until it's earning at least $200-$500 per month for a year or two.

    It shouldn't be too hard to scale up, now that you've got the revenue consistent.

    If you're earning $500/month, you should be able to sell it for 6K at least, plus all the revenue you would have already generated.

    Just my advice.
