Advice on selling website

[Claire H]

Hi there,

I've been running my online business selling homeware and gifts for over a year now. Due to other commitments, I'm struggling to devote the time it needs to generate more sales, especially in relation to marketing efforts. It's a well designed, attractive wordpress site and the products I sell are of good quality.
The majority of my sales have come in organically through Google to my site as well as through magazine promotion and ebay but due to my lack of time I'm reluctantly looking to sell my business. I believe the site could be a good investment for the right person but I'm unsure whether anyone would want to buy my site and how do go about doing this and at what price? I also have approx £500 of stock.

Any advice would be appreciated or if anyone else has been in a similar position.

Thanks

I would approach competitors directly as a first option.
