How much would my site be worth?

14 replies
Hello Warriors,

I have a simple question. I started a site less than 60 days ago, totally custom wordpress design, very good for social media.

I've gotten to $10 per day average now, over 400 pages of self-written content. I try to add at least 14 pages per day on a serious schedule. Good days I do the full 18.

With that in mind, I work on it myself. What would the resale value be ? An estimate.

Also, the site is an annual niche . Yes it will keep earning later but it will draw the most home page traffic this year.

Thanks for the help in advance. Look forward to answers.

    Honestly , there is no way to tell this early on how much your site would be worth..

    If you've really created all that content yourself within 60 days , which is kinda an overkill ... you should schedule everything out I mean cmon , 400 fresh content pages? Drip feed that b*tch that is enough content to keep your site building naturally for over a year.

    But let's be real , Are they all videos or something?

    I agree, if you can knock out that much content try to just do 1-2 high quality posts. Just build a kick-butt site, don't worry about gaming the system. Just my 2 cents though.

    The worth of you site, depends on the niche, how stable things have been, how much depend there is for a site like yours, ect...

    How are you making $10 a day Adsense? You could test other monetization methods.

    Hi CBusiness,
    No one can tell you the price unless he/she wants to buy it. So, you can submit it to Flippa.com and see where your blog stands. And you have done a lot of hard work and hard work pays. So, you would get a decent amount through selling it.

    10x30 equals $300 a month.
    Usually 5 to 10 times total revenue

    Yeah, I was thinking around 5x-10x monthly revenue.

    I need some new ideas to definitely earn more from the site. It's in the entertainment niche.

    Yes, I wrote all content myself. I've observed a 'top site' on-line [ top 100 alexa ]. They KILL THE WEB because they have ~40 posts per day and it's not even with written content. They are a video site. Just they update so much, people are always checking in and Google LOVES the constant content.

    My goal is create a high update frequency website with lots of unique content.

    A lot of my articles written have 220-500 words, all written by me so far. Although, once I hit a certain level of income I will hire writers and move to the next site.

    Once earning enough I want to hire people and cut my profit margins to RAISE my free time tremendously long-term.

    I just started working a 2nd site today.

    The 1st site I speak of, 5AM-23:59PM , 1 post per hour.
    The 2nd site I speak of, just starting, aiming for 3 to 4 posts per day. [ Google News Approved site since like 2009 ]

    If you can point me in direction of good writers, do let me know!

    It would worth around $1500-3000. I recommend you to keep the site and scale it up!

    If your site is making $10/day in less than 60 days after creating the site, it's likely that you haven't had enough time to level out your traffic/earnings yet. Many of your pages aren't yet indexed, moved their way up the search engines for longtail traffic, etc. If it's earning $10/day right now, you may be able to STOP today, wait 60-90 days, and see that your site is earning $50/day. (Which would SERIOUSLY improve the value of the site)

    We typically sell our sites (and others) for 20x monthly revenue. TODAY...your site would be worth $6K. Waiting until your revenue starts to level off? It depends on where it levels off at...but if it's earning $800/month it would be worth $16K.

    The problem with the value: You said your traffic is tied to 2013 traffic. Ugh. If it's a laptop site (for example) you're more short-term with it than you might be with a car site (for example). A car site may have another few years of earning as people will go back and look for those particular models/years into the future.

    You're a content machine, it sounds like...that's awesome. See (in the next go-round) if you can have one category be a particular year so that you're not as limited. Maybe limit yourself to a particular make or model and not to the year?

    Are you able to grow a mailing list through your site? If you have a good sized mailing list, plus Facebook and Twitter followers, that can help increase the overall value if you were to sell the business.

    With 3 months of history, it doesn't really have any value. I'm sure there would be someone out there who would buy it for something, but as TryBPO mentions, you might be leaving money on the table if it could continue to grow without work.

    Additionally, with all the content you are currently adding - the site is worth nothing. That's why buying sites based on "revenue" is stupid. It might be making $10 a day but you're also writing 14 articles a day (which, even if outsourced cheaply would be $50). So your site is actually effectively making a loss. I would imagine you are also spending time/money on SEO or social media, too.

    With regards to the 2013 thing - that's a major issue. If there is no way to make the content relevant in 2014 then it's not really worth much. Why would anyone pay 10x monthly income if in 8 months the content is no longer relevant?!

  • I wouldn't sell it. You might be lucky enough to find some sucker who will buy it for a good amount, but realistically, it isn't worth that much, yet. It needs to level off and get some age. Then, you might consider it.

    It used to be that a domain could be sold just like any other asset. Look at the monthly income, minus the cost of self-sustaining, and multiply that by "x" number of months. 10 months used to be a feasible number, but I don't believe anyone with half a brain will pay that in our post Panda, Penguin, and other update world we live in. Website ranking is too volatile.

    I would write some more articles, and let them trickle. See where it levels off in a couple months. In the meantime, see if you can't find something related, but with a higher value keyword (assuming you're monetizing with Adsense), and maybe filter some of your visitors to that site. Just an idea.

      Sure they are still buying - you're just speculating. Many investors are still buying, it's still a better prospect than most traditional investments. Buyers are more aware of not relying too much on search traffic, but that's not to say no-one is buying sites. 10 months as multiple is also an extremely low number for a site with any sort of stable history.

    I agree with a few quotes above: $1,500 + You have to remember with any transaction.....you need potential buyers! Maybe you get lucky and find someone that will pay more! Also, what is your time worth?
