1. Using Google to find buyers
Search for the keyword phrases you are targeting or get the most traffic from.

For example I get a lot of traffic for “cpalead ebook” on this blog. I would search on Google for that and then find sites that have a similar business format and make a list of them to email.

2. Making the list
Once you have found the sites you have to gather the e-mails of these buyers using whois lookup. I like using DomainTools to lookup domain name registration information.

<— You want to e-mail the address that is there.

If the domain is protected you have to manually write down the string and it will forward that e-mail to the person that owns the domain name. You should check the website first to see if they have a contact form because that will be much easier than copying the string of numbers of a protected domain.

3. Composing the e-mail

This is the hard part because you have to make sure the spam filters will not pick it up. I tailor each e-mail to the website I am sending it to.

Example Email Subjects
Email Subject: CPALead EBook Website For Sale — CPALead EBook is the Google search term I found the potential buyer.
Email Subject 2:  Domain.com Website Purchase Opportunity — Domain.com is your website in this example subject.
Email Subject 3: Website Similar to URL.com for Sale — For this one URL.com is the URL of the persons website you are e-mailing.

Example Email Body
I found your website URL.com using the Google Search “CPALead EBook” and wanted to contact you because I have a similar website for sale right now. Here is the link to view the auction, [auction url link].

If you have any questions about the website or would like any stats/proof just reply to this e-mail or contact me at the marketplace website using private message. All of the websites I sell come with support and use either Escrow or PayPal to protect both parties. My range to sell the website is 10-12x but I’m open to any offer you would like to submit. I know this website will be a great addition to your portfolio of established websites and make your rankings stronger for the keyword “cpalead ebook”.

Regards,
Your Name

I will be sending out a weekly serious of tips and advice for both buying and selling websites. Read my blog and subscribe to my email list for even more updates and free material.

Looking over the websites that actually sell in the marketplaces I noticed that they end up with a price of around this formula. Of course I suggest using common sense and pricing the website at around 12x the monthly revenue like everyone else but this formula can give you something to think about.

Formula: Monthly Revenue x Amount of months site has made that revenue
Example: I own a website that has made $500 for the past 18 months on autopilot. I should be looking to sell it for around $8000-9000 based on my formula.

Below are examples of the prices of a couple of websites that sold in the various marketplaces. I was very suprised at how many no revenue sites that sell purely based on their design, support of the seller, and potential. About 75% of the sites that were selling were less than $250 and had no revenue (can be considered startup sites).  It looks like there is a market for those at or around the $200 price range.

Niche Sites
$600 sold for $3000 (5 months)
$850 sold for $11000 (13 months)
$1500 for $14495 (10 months)

Arcade Site
$330 monthly for $3300 (10 months)
$30 monthly for $5400 (13 months)
$15 monthly for $227

Affiliate Product
$67 monthly for $1400 (21 months)
$15 monthly for $227 (15 months)
New no revenue for $97, $147, $297 (Niche sites selling clickbank products)

Blogging
$650 monthly for $60,000 (92 months)
$335 monthly for $4500 (13 months)
$23 monthly for $500 (21 months)
$100 monthly for $720 (7.2 months)

Did my formula hold up? No! I will point out the site that sold for 92 months revenue as an example. This site is old (1.5 years but not extremely aged) has a premium domain name and great brand recognition. The domain name alone has a value in the five figures (in my opinion and a lot of the people that placed a bid on the site) which leads me to the point that there are hundreds of factors that go into valuing the website not just the common multiple. Determining the price is hard and there is no simple answer it is on a case by case basis. To help you at least get an idea of what your website is worth I am starting a series to teach you how to sell your website.  In my next blog post I will cover even more tips for selling your established website.

2010 Blogging Goals

• Make 4 blog posts per month
• Meet 4 new bloggers per month
• Promote my services through my blog
• Attain #1 spot for Derek Baker
• Create video posts and build a following on YouTube
• Learn one programming language (personal but I want to put it here)

I recommend all the readers of my blog read and subscribe to these blogs (and mine of course!). They have great freebies like John Chow’s Make Money Online With John Chow dot Com eBook which helped get my blog up and running back in 2007. I have not been keeping close tabs on the blogging world for making money online so I will need to update this list at least a few times over the coming months. I hope that all these bloggers can continue with the same high quality level of content and regular updating in 2010 and wish them a successful and prosperous new year.

I ask all the readers of my blog (and future readers) to leave more comments and interact more. Since for the past year I have spent most of my time creating and working with video content I will try my best to blog about that. Hopefully I will come across as an expert and get praise from those that read my blog wanting more posts! 2009 was a great year for me, and I know that 2010 will be even better. I try to keep me personally outside of the blog, but my ideas, reviews, and input will always be there. If I get enough people wanting me to change the blog to an “About Derek Baker” type blog I can do that. I know that it will get 10x the amount of traffic and readers but I like to keep a great deal of my online matters personal so it would definitely be a challenge.

Happy New Years,
Derek
