Hello
Im looking for places to sell a website.
I cant use flippa because i used to had an account 9 years ago that i cant access, now i made a new one but was suspended because they dont allow more accounts per person.
Any other website marketplaces ?
Its a website in the music niche with around 15 mil pageviews month / 4 mil uniques

    Why not work with Flippa support to get your original account restored?

    EmpireFlippers could be a possibility. You'd have to submit it and see if it's something they would be interested in.


    Flippa would be your best option really. As mentioned, contact their support and see if you can get your account back or create a new one.


    Other option, find a broker on Flippa who could sell it for you.

    Here's what I would do:

    1. Understand that "music" is not a niche - it's a huge marketplace - there is a big, big difference. Drill down deep so you understand what niche you're really in. Why is this important? Simply because when you identify the real niche you are in, you will be able to target other business owners in that same niche who will be interested in owning your site - for it's content, for it's traffic, for it's links, etc.

    2. Identify the top keywords and phrases in the niche that describe or apply to your site. What phrases do you rank highly for? (I'm assuming with millions of views/month you are getting SE traffic - but maybe not.) Bot traffic does not count so understand the difference.

    3. Google those same phrases and note the top two or three pages of SERPs (results). Now contact each business owner, one by one, to see if he/she would have interest in purchasing your site.


    Here's why this method works: you are offering a source of traffic and content to business owners already doing well in the niche. If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you like to increase your business with millions of new views/month? The new owner could forward the traffic to his own site, create new subscriber campaigns with the new traffic, keep your old site that was purchased and link to his current site, rework the new site to cover a different part of the niche, and other strategies. The point is . . . you are trying to get successful people with money to make you an offer for your site and the very best way to do that is to personally contact those already in your niche who have a reason to want to add your site to their portfolio. Be sure to offer these and other suggestions to the potential buyer - tell him why purchasing the site will help his current business so much.

    This is very specific, targeted niche marketing and it works.


    The best to you,

    Steve

    You can sell on classified etc...

    BUT WHY?

    wouldn't it better to MONETIZE IT, build a list and promote products?

      Selling is a smart exit strategy, usually.

    Flippa would most likely be the top choice for selling your website at the highest price because they are the most popular and known authority on websites for sale.

    in talks with some of the mentioned sites to see if they will list me .
    yea site is generating revenue , its in the youtube conveter niche
    i doubt competitors would be interested in buying, but i guess i will resort to that in the last resort , or maybe try to monetize it more aggressively
