Need advice selling my Amazon Affiliate Site

11 replies
Hey guys,

I have an Amazon affiliate site I want to sell. It's in the fitness products niche (reviewing products) and it averages just under 1K in monthly commissions (let's say 11K/ year for the past 2 years).

I have high quality content, but just don't want to work on the site anymore, haven't done SEO on it forever and it's been ages since I wrote my last high quality review. I average about 4K unique visitors/ month, most of the traffic is coming from Google.

I was offered 8K by someone that emailed me, but I think that's too low. I know about Flippa, but I want to sell this site within the next week or two.

Any advice for how to best approach this? What can I do to maximize my selling price?

Thank you!

NOTE: If you specialize in website sales of this size or know someone I would love to have a quick Skype/ phone call with you for advice. I will gladly pay you for your time, just let me know the cost up-front.

    Try selling via Empire flippers.
    They take a hefty commission, but have a reputation to get you top prices.

      I agree, Empire Flippers is a great way to sell if you have a site that makes money. Check out their listings and see the premium prices they get for their sites.

      They are here on WF as well.

    On EmpireFlippers, every website sells for [3 Months' Average Net Profit] x 20 = Listing Price

    In your case, $3000 x 20 = Whopping $60,000

    Give them a try, you wont regret.

        HI,

        Please let us know if and when you sold it, I bet many of us have marginal sites that we could
        sell, but if you are not selling this premium one, then I wonder how less profitable sites will sell?
        Just say'n

        Hey Irwin,

        Are you SURE it's us that's looking to purchase? We don't do a ton of reaching out to buy sites, so I'm thinking this could be someone pretending to be us?

        Funny enough, there is ONE site I know about that my business partner (Joe) was targeting for purchase. It's in the health/workout niche. If this DOES happen to be that one site, man...what a small world!

      Thanks for the shout!

      I think, though, that the OP is stating the site makes $1K per month, which would put it at a less-whopping $20K listing price. Still not too shabby, though! :-)
