While keeping eye on the news and latest updates about
online marketing and business you can get many ideas and new concepts. And this thing is one of the most amazing thing in internet. Recently, I heard about a Pakistani guy [
Farrukh] who sold his website with 10 millions Pakistani Rupees. That guy was featured in local newspapers and also appeared on many platforms, just because he sold out his website with an amazing amount. And you'd be surprising about the topic of that website; the topic was simply Comics and jokes in English. He registered his site on a website called [
Flippa] which is the biggest marketplace for selling and buying websites. and according to his statement, he sold the website within three months. So our today's topic is all about this business and this is the continuation of our
making money online series, which will be continued for a long time on this blog. Inshallah
We'll talk about what are the important elements and components, which a website must have in order to sell a website on a marketplace or manually. Also, we'll talk about how to buy a website in this article. And most importantly, I've two video tutorials in Urdu language, so you can also watch them below the text article.
Why should someone buy your site?
The first thing is first, and which is why should someone buy your site?. Everyone in today's world is a businessman and a genius, so everyone looks for profits and money. So one will buy your site if it has a good reputation i.e ranking, Fans, Readers, visitors and most importantly your site is earning a decent monthly income.
In very simple words, there are just five things which a buyer always look for and can buy a website with thousands or even millions of dollars, but if he finds below five things in a website:
- Website has an international branded domain name
- Website has original & unique content
- Website has a professional looking design
- Website has a decent traffic, fans and readers [Good Alexa & Page rank too]
- Website is making a decent monthly income [this the most important factor]
It looks same like you sell a shop or a corner place to someone in Urdu it is called [Teia]. So if your shop is making income and it has a lot of daily customers then you can sell it with lackhs or millions, but if it neither has customers nor income then someone is not gonna buy it with even few pennies.
How to Sell website on the internet?
Having a website which is famous, you can easily sell your website to someone or to a company. There are many groups on Facebook just for selling and buying things and you can also present your site there for auction. However, you can show a banner on your site and write that this site is for sale. Moreover and surprisingly there are some famous websites which do everything for you. You just need to register your website there and put all the details about your site such as: Traffic snap shoots, Earning proofs, Readers records and so on. So buyers will automatically find your website there and will be offering you amount, you'll first set a final price for your site and people will be giving their bids.
Flippa.com is one of the most famous platform for selling websites and millions of people have sold their websites by using this platform. I've also used this site and found it worth using. So you should also prefer this site for selling your site. However, the complete list of websites where you can sell your site is following:
Above websites may be used for both purposes like Selling websites and buying websites. And for buying websites you need to browse the categories in above websites and you'll find all websites relating to your desired category. If you are interested in buying a website then consider the above points which I mentioned in this article.
Last time I talked about
selling domain names and today the topic is similar to that one. So keep in mind that a successful website which can be later on sold, of course, can make you millionaire.
Summary:
First of all you have to create a website with any topic you are interested in, such as; Fashion Cricket, Blogging, Marketing, computer tips,
web development,
web designing etc. Then you've to work hard on that website for at least one or two years and produce high quality content for that website. Then optimize your site with SEO and try to create a huge readership for your site. Then use advertisements and earn money with your site and after 1 or 2 years you can then sell your website to someone with thousands or even millions of dollars, but it all defends on the reputation, ranking and the current earnings of your website.
That Pakistani guy who I mentioned in the starting paragraph of this article sold his website for an amazing amount because he was receiving 0.6 [600,000] page views per day and was earning hundreds of dollars monthly with his website. So therefore, he sold that site quickly and got big amount.
