Difference between a 500 000 and a three Hundred thousand dollar sale let me show You how to maximize your multiple and There Therefore your total sales price The biggest multiple multiplier that I’ve seen is to sell your website when Your numbers are increasing when your Traffic is going up when your profit is On the rise buyers want to be able to Ride that wave and assume their first Month with your site is going to be Bigger than the ones before the next is To Simply sell bigger websites websites Making fifteen thousand dollars per Month will automatically have a higher Multiple than websites making 500 per Month next leave room on the table don’t Completely max out your Niche and write On every topic leave about twenty Percent left for the buyer to improve on What you’ve done no one wants to buy a Business that can’t grow after that Position your website as a brand this Means a few things have a brandable Domain name amazon.com is a brand Bestpingpong tables.com isn’t have the Social presence from what I’ve seen Having a presence on YouTube Pinterest Or Facebook seems to have the biggest Impact on your multiple in that order The main reason for a social presence is An alternative traffic Source if a buyer Knows that you’re not 100 dependent on Google that’s a plus in their eyes and
The big one is having an email list real Brands have captured their audience’s Email addresses it’s a step that most Typical affiliate blogs don’t do and It’s also an alternative traffic source That is a hundred percent independent From any third party the affiliate lab Has a special module on affiliate Marketing for affiliate sites to jump on That Black Friday in addition to having Multiple traffic sources it also helps To have multiple Revenue sources Diversity makes buyers feel more Comfortable especially when it comes to Income there’s no reason you shouldn’t Have display ads on an affiliate blog It’s a no-brainer now once you’ve given All this information to the broker They’re going to come up with a price For your website please note that this Is not what you’ll receive in the sale There’s a 15 broker fee which is taken From the sale price at the time of Closing you might assume that this is The biggest downside to working with a Broker 15 is a lot but what you need to Remember is that these brokerages have Huge customer lists and because of that They can price High they’re likely able To sell your website for 15 higher than You can yourself so it all works out Even in the end the next stage is the Vetting process for about six to eight Weeks the broker is going to look at
Your financials and make sure that Everything you said about your earnings And traffic is true you’ll most likely Need to provide the following a detailed Month-to-month profit and loss sheet Showing your income and your expenses Screenshots of your affiliate and Display ad dashboards as well as Analytics access next once your numbers Are verified it’s time to list your Website here’s what a website for sale Looks like in the Empire flippers Dashboard as you can see we have your General Niche listing price your Multiple profit numbers and a brief Description of your site down here Notice how there’s no mention of your Domain name and all this information About your backlinks and financial Details are hidden they don’t show this Information unless someone actually Verifies that they have enough cash to Buy your site so there’s a level of Protection after that you’ll start to Get interest in people who set up Meetings with you to discuss your site This is especially more common if you’re Selling your site for more than a Hundred thousand dollars the typical Questions they ask are why are you Selling your website in the first place And what would you recommend to do to Grow the site password is now now once You find someone that loves your site
And they’re ready to get you paid now we Start the migration process now as Mentioned before when you sell with the Broker they can take care of this for You which is good because it’s a pain in The ass the mic immigration process Involves copying the site to the buyer’s Hosting account applying to the same Affiliate and display ad programs you’re On and getting accepted creating new Affiliate links for the buyer and Updating all the links on the site then There’s a holding period of 15 days to Make sure that the site makes at least 50 percent as much as you said it does Prorated after that holding period the Money leaves escrow lands in your Account and you’re Now Rich bear in mind These are the same steps that you need To take care of during migration if you Do a private sale which is what I’ll get Into now A Private Sales how you flip a Website if you’re doing it yourself you Can do this strategically by emailing Businesses that might be interested in Your site or you could post in Facebook Groups the flipping website group run by Investors Club is pretty good here’s What an example website sale post looks Like alternatively there’s a lot of Website transactions going on in my Group The affiliate SEO Mastermind the Main benefit of selling privately is That you avoid The Brokerage fee but
This is arguable because you’re Extremely unlikely to get the same Multiple as if you’re using a brokerage Anyways a more tangible benefit is that You’re able to sell websites making less Than 500 per month also known as starter Sites which most brokerage charges won’t Touch by the way I never recommend Selling a website making less than 500 And I’ll tell you why how you evaluate Your website is decided entirely by you With the private sale most people like To follow the marketplace model of Average profit times a multiplier you Can set a 50x multiplier if you want but You’re not likely to get in a private Sale the reason I don’t recommend Selling a site if it’s making less than 500 is the following let’s say your site Is making 100 a hundred dollars times Thirty equals three thousand dollars Most likely you put in more than three Thousand dollars of your time and Resources into it now this puts you in An awkward situation you want to charge More because you feel like it’s worth More but by using all conventional means Of pricing websites it’s simply not Worth more than three thousand dollars Just hold on to the site and get it to Make more before you sell besides Website starts to snowball when you gain Authority don’t tap out before you’ve Even really started in a private sale
The vetting process is all the buyer’s Responsibility most likely if they’re Gonna ask for the same stuff earning Screenshots analytics access Etc and With migrations as you know this is your Responsibility building a private sale So do a good job and don’t miss any Affiliate links or else the buyer is Going to think you’re full of which Do I like more brokerages or private Transactions I like to buy websites Privately and sell through marketplaces I like to get my hands on small websites With small multiples that have a ton of Room to grow and then flip them when They’re massive profit machines for Maximum multiples on marketplaces Remember to sign up for the affiliate Lab this Black Friday for 50 off Bookmark the link in the pin comment Then come back Black Friday to join the Fam
