As my story goes, I sucked at making money online until I found a website marketplace. Which is when I started selling my “failures” to others who knew what to do with them.
Eventually it started getting called Website Flipping and our seniority on the topic has made us the foremost experts on the subject.
Our most often asked question is where do you sell your websites, so we thought it would make a good blog post. Plus now we can have just one link to send people to when they ask.
If you want to buy an Internet business, then any of these marketplaces would be great research points…
Top Three Website Marketplaces (Must Use)
Flippa.com
Used to be the Sitepoint Marketplace but is now Flippa.com – This is currently the #1 most active marketplace. Although, lots of controversy over switching names and drastic price increases have lead to a slow and steady decline in activity and listing quality. To their credit they are still seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars changing hands each week. I’ve sold websites for as much as $40,000 in this marketplace.
WebsitePush.com (GONE!)
The new cowboy in town has ridden into the sunset!
WarriorForum.com (WSO Area)
This is the highest traffic place to sell your site and I recently sold one for $7,500 in this marketplace. This one has worked very well for me in the past and just about any website valued at $200 or higher will work. This one will cost you $20 for the listing and you will need to meet some basic forum posting requirements before being able to list.
These Should Be Mentioned Too…
WebsiteBroker.com
This site get’s some decent activity but their listings are expensive compared to how much more activity the top 3 marketplaces are getting. They have some great resources for website flippers and website buyers as well. If you’re selling a site for more than $1,000 and not listing it here you are making a mistake. This marketplace owns the #1 rankings in Google for almost every website for sale keyword you can think of which means buyers passing through from search traffic.
Webmaster-Talk.com
Ton’s of traffic plus it’s FREE! However, your listings are mostly auction style here and there is no real “BIN” (Buy It Now) button like in other marketplaces. Yes it get’s lots of traffic but it’s website sales area is lacking and action is low – Good thing it’s still free! Did we mention this one is free?
WebsiteAuctionHub.com
I have used this one successfully in the past, but it’s no where near the top three in successful sales. It’s much better for either really low priced sites or websites that are already earning a monthly income of $1,000 or more. Mid-level sites for a couple hundred dollars with no revenue rarely sell here.
BuySellWebsite.com
This one is not good for selling websites that are not already making money. However, most of the sellers in here are way overpricing their websites so if you have a site already making money and charge 7x to 10x monthly revenue you should be able to outsell the competing listings.
Throw These In IF You Have Time
