If a website makes $1k a month, how much should it sell for?
 

say a website consistently makes $1k a month, month after month, and takes about 20 minutes a day to maintain.

How much should it ask for a selling price? How much do you think it should sell for?

8-12 months revenue?

i'd say 12

So far since Jan of 05 its made $8,338

i might give you $12k for it.. what is it?

why would someone wanna sell a site that generates 1k in revenue a month with 20 mins daily of work?

I'd say about 10-12 months of revenue but it all depends on the site. If it's unique and with potential for growth then more.

If it's a mainstream site and you're interested in selling it, hit me up, I'm always looking for mainstream sites to buy. :)

why your selling?
hit me up. 162027899 thanks.

You should be able to get about $10K to $15K.

Just curious what its worth. I just had it sitting there figuring its nice extra money but if I got enough money to sell it I might sell it.

All depends on the website ;) but if it's stable ... 10-15k $

Not looking to sell at the momentl, just wanted a ball park on prices.
thanks for the estimates, i have a good idea now.

I would tend to agree

DH

10k is cool :)

not if its a tgp i have owned sites in the past that took 20 min's a day of work never got 10 months revenue.

You guys are nuts. It is 6 months or so. If it is all SEO it is even less. Not trying to beat you up on it but everyone says 12 months until you are actually looking for a buyer.

This is the first thread I have ever seen anybody say 10-12 months. Did Internet stability suddenly sky rocket?

Its always been said 3-6 months, or better yet, whatever somebody will pay you. It is really hard to judge though without knowing what kind of site it is. A site that has been online for years is going to be worth more than a new site simply because it has more stability and loyalty.

By you saying the site only takes 20 minutes a day to update lowers the value, IMO. It sounds like a very simple and automated site that could crash very easily. Paying 10-12 months on that would be a HUGE risk.

LOL you are right. 9-12 months is crazy unless it is some super established big company.

realistically you will get 6 months, but I personally wouldn't sell it for anything less than 12... you are probably better off running it to the ground than selling it...

Id say 20 months if it really does take just 20 a day to maintain without losing any profitability.

a lot depends on how well developed, domain and artwork, etc etc

Try auction it with a reserve!

lol
you guys are fucking nuts
10-12 months?? you can buy any of my sites for that lol

if it's se related I'll give you 3-6 times what it makes depending on how good it is
email in sig

exactly 3-6 months top but the big q is why sell?

I would say 12-16 months revenue.

:1orglaugh 20 months is WAYYY to much if its not secure and stable

no no a LOT more maybe err 500 months or wait 50 months hmm 49,5 months














:1orglaugh

I'll give you $350 for it.

Amazing how this guy calculates his turnover based on 5 months... so :

Ive got a site for sale, its doing 1 mln a year (since it just made a sale in 10 mins so 6 times the sale time 24 time 365 is one million) whats it worth?

5k turnover can be *woosh* in 1 sec if its depending on low retention etc

I need about tree fitty! :winkwink:

I'm not sure what the 20 min a day update has to do with anything
what determines the price IMO is where the traffic comes from, SE traffic can be here today gone tomorrow, traffic from hardlinks from other sites tends to be more 'permanent' etc

depends on the kind of site & the variance of earnings imo

I've sold websites making much less profit for much more then $ 12K

Know what ? I'll sell it for you: You get $ 12 k, I get everything above that.
:2 cents:

time is money... 20 mins per day (20 mins is probably underestimated)
is 10-15 hours per month, in that time you can get ton of other work done..

It also depends on how much it costs to maintain. Content costs money so If if you having to outlay a large amount to buy or make the update content then at some point it simply wont be worth it.

On the other hand...if its a site that makes money from refshares then its a different ball game.

well, what actually puzzled me was "By you saying the site only takes 20 minutes a day to update lowers the value, IMO", you can have a very profitable site that needs 20 min a day, and you can spend hours on another site and make nothing

As for the time is money lets see, if 20 min work a day brings you $1000.00 a month 8 hours work day will get you $24 000.00 which is pretty good ;)

10 month of revenue sounds fair enuff

Even 10 months is alot these days....plus it depends alot on the sort of site we are talking about

It all depends on how stupid your buyer is.

depends on stability. tell us what the site is.

As others have mentioned it depends on the stability of the site and the traffic sources. Anything greater than 6 months is a risk on something that isn't established or easily maintainable.
