HOW TO SELL WEBSITE(TIPS AND TRICKS)
- Choose a topic you are passionate about and subject your website focuses on because if you launch a website on the topic for which you are not passionate about then you will interest and inevitability stop working on it.
- Choose a domain name that is relevant to your topic as I have discussed in my previous post(
- Think about your long term business model and to make your website popular you need to research about your topic beforehand.
- Choose US based servers and reliable paid host for example bluehost, hostgator etc.
- You need to make your website design and layout look very professional as first time visitors will judge your website within first 7 seconds of loading ,so you need to make sure that your website’s design appeals to them and they like it.
IMPORTANT TASKS WHICH NEED TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE LAUNCHING THE WEBSITE:-
- Who are your direct competitors ?
- How do your competitors make money?
- How will your website make money ?
- How can you make your website stand out from others ?
- How long will it take to monetize your website ?
Now at last you need to sell website and the platforms on which you can sell websites are discussed above.
HOW TO MONETIZE
- You need to sign up and register your website(which you want to sell) on any platform discussed above right now I am taking flippa.com as I consider it the best. So flippa works on bidding model which means the highest bidder gets the ownership of the website
- Now, how to set bid price for your website, always remember this-set the bid price of your website 5-10 times greater than the current income of your website. For example ,if your site is earning 500$ per month then you can set the basic selling bid price of your site at least 5000$.
- Start the auction and wait for bids. People will start bidding and once you receive the bid that satisfies your target selling price, then finalise the business deal with the bidder. Flippa will manage all the payment and technical stuff for you and you will receive your commissions via your selected payment method.
