What To Know About How To Sell A Website


by Anna Barnes


People are making millions from selling websites these days. It is a relatively new business that is picking up fast. People sell their websites for many different personal reasons, which often never matter to the buyer because they simply do not want or need to know. Internet platforms such as Flippa and eBay exist to make such sales much easier and convenient for sellers. This writing is intended to shed some light on how to sell a website.

The selling process is done in steps starting with preparation. It is impossible to sell if one is not well prepared and organized. Providing buyers with sufficient information about the site makes them more willing to pay. The information should be presented with confidence and must be relevant and detailed enough. Without that, it could take a really long time before selling and if sold, the cost would be much lower.

Traffic and revenue are the two key pieces of information that must be known about a site before it can be sold. Traffic indicates the number of daily visitors the site receives. Google Analytics application is the industry standard in monitoring and analyzing traffic information. Owners can install the app on their websites any time they want.

It is recommendable to install Google Analytics the first time the site is launched. This will allow the application to capture information about statistics from the beginning. This way, all relevant statistical information will be available to the buyer. Changes in the level of traffic can also be tracked over a specific period of time. It is best to have at least a year of Google Analytics data.

Revenue is another aspect that plays a big role in selling of websites. All revenues and expenses incurred on the site must be maintained in accurate records. Buyers consider net annual profits in valuing websites. The only way to convey the value of websites is by looking at the financial records maintained over a given period. Financial records should be accurate and provable.

Valuation also means a lot in this industry. It is vital that the seller know what their site will probably sell at. Final cost is determined through the multiplication of annual revenue and a multiplication factor lying ranging between one and three. However, multiplication factors are not constant and they can be lower or higher compared to the stated range. Instances have occurred where sites have sold for much more or lower than they should.

What multiplication factor is multiplied by the annual profit varies depending on a few factors such as the stability of the business. Additional determinants are uniqueness and sustainability of the business. Listing up the website and leaving market factors decide is the best valuation method that one can apply.

Sellers have several payment methods through which they can receive money from the buyer. Goods can only start being transferred once the buyer has made the payment first. Similarly, money sent to the seller cannot clear in their accounts before they finish the transfer of the site. It takes between 3 to 5 business days for that to happen.
