selling a website, need advice

[pkyi]

I'm thinking of selling one of my website, it's a college forum for OSU. Are there any specific site that will help me do this besides ebay? What if I find a buyer, how will the money be transferred?

I'm not sure what the value of the site is. Is there any dependable website value calculator out there? couldn't find any through google.

Thanks.

First off, depending on what your Page Rank is (PR) as many webmasters want the site based on this and also (at a minimum) the content and name of the domain as well, you won't sell it for nothing.

Secondly, send emails out to friends and college friends. Also be sure to check out the forum here on v7n to sell your site and see what members think of it and what they feel the value of it is.

Thirdly, don't ever use a script to tell you what your site is worth, it's never accurate

Most of all don't ever let anyone under value your work and time spent in advertising to get it for cheap. You will never be a good sales man (or woman) if you are not honest with yourself.

Best of luck!

I think most transactions happen through Paypal for your money transfer question.

Also, I believe you can just post your site for sale on this forum (or another forum like this one) with stats on monthly uniques, PR, monthly advertising revenue, etc.

I would double check on this, but I think for the most part sellers ask for a 6-10/month multiple (could be wrong!).

Hope that help!

You can try Sedo.com I sold several domains with them. They hold the money in escrow until the transaction completes. You could also list the website on bidding if you get any offer.
