Hello fellow 5 Star members,
I'm finally plunging into the deep waters of website sales. The first site I've decided to put on the auction block is already an established, revenue generating site that I simply do not have the time for anymore. But, before I actually list the website for sale, I would like to garner some advice and words of wisdom.
Without giving away too many details, this is a product website, established with a customer base (however, it may only come with a partial customer base b/c I've decided to let the individuals decide whether to be left in the database after the sale), with a mid-level pagerank and #1 Google rankings for a couple highly relevant keywords.
That said, I'm looking for any gotchas I should be aware of, methods of selling (i.e. have you sold a domain through any forums? If so, how did it go?), payment options, and valuation.
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
~ Teli
