Earlier this year I sold a website on Sitepoint (flippa) and the listing was only up for 2 days before I got the “Buy It Now” bid of $48,000 – which ended the auction and sold the site!
In addition to that I received a private bid of $60,000 for the same site from a very well known and respected internet marketing guru. However, I had already started the transaction with the original buyer and I am not someone who backs out on a deal just because I can get more money from someone else.
Okay, so I admit the subject of this post is a little misleading because it took me a lot longer than two days to build up that site to the point of being worth that much money. However, it shows that you can make a lot of money selling websites.
Take the time and put in the effort to build a website or blog up to the point where it is getting good traffic on autopilot and consistently bringing in a solid monthly income. If you are willing to do that, you can sell it for THOUSANDS of dollars.
Most people say they would never sell a site that they had built up to the point of getting great traffic and consistently high earnings. I used to say the same thing. However, that nice lump sum of money is great for funding new projects, buying more sites, paying off debts, taking vacations, or whatever else you want to do with it.
There’s no doubt that you can make money flipping blogs & websites so if you are looking for an extra income stream, this is a great way to do it. What could you do with an extra $48,000 or more right now? Think about it!
