I'm selling my website...

[annakey]

I'm selling my kids party website + stock and was just asking if anyone know if BusinessesForSale com is a good place to sell? Or any other places that you might know of?
Thanks Anna

 

[gregs2769]

i have heard some bad things about business for sale dont want to reapt but if you do your own digging you might find some stuff.

how come you have deceied to sell up?

 

[annakey]

I don't have the time that I need to spend on it anymore. I have two little ones and the time is just not enough. I have enjoyed the website though building it from scratch and it is doing well after 3,5 years. Might do something similar in the future when kids are bigger.....

 

[MrsPWN]

Have you thought of advertising it on something like www.netmums.co.uk there maybe other Mums with older kidslooking for something similar.

 

[annakey]

Thanks, that's a good idea. I will try that as well.

[annakey]

Yes they are.

Antonia Chitty from http://www.acpr.co.uk/ often advertises businesses for sale to her list - they would be your target market for potential buyers.

1st page of Google as well, I would say a nice little business for someone...good luck!

 

[annakey]

Thanks! I know it is a good site but I don't have the time anymore to spend on it to make it better. I have spent a lot of time to get it up on google left hand side and it's doing pretty good..

for what term?

 

[annakey]

kidsparties, kids parties, kids party supplies etc...

To be honest the key terms that it is ranking for will need looking at as these are not very fruitful compared to others.

Think about putting an NDA in place before speaking to people as this will protect you when discussing the business with people to some degree.

I hope this helps

kidsparties, kids parties, kids party supplies etc...

yeah, guessed that after posting

you could try selling the site without stock on sedo or acorn - the search volumes might attract some interest?

why? - we already know whats for sale and how much

Key terms aren't bad in my opinion - I have two kids sites on page one with much lower volumes for main key terms and they would justify £5,000 anyday?
The party theme is, however, restrictive in terms of average order value but it definitely has some value to someone.

 

[extremedistro]

can you give a little more info:

- daily unique visits
- Current T/O & profit
- What you spend on marketing


Cheers

 

[GreatSEO]

Exactly why an NDA may be needed figures lke the above are obviously something that the OP will not want to share with the world until she has some genuine buyers etc

Dave

 

[annakey]

i will look in to that.

 

[annakey]

Still selling my website...Has anyone heard of Flippa.com. They are suppose to be quite good to advertise your website on but when I look at it it is mostly American businesses? Any advise?
Thanks

 

[SFD]

Is your website still ongoing?

Last time I tried to look, then again today and each time get sql errors.

 

[annakey]

It is working fine. Just got one order is as well and I have just looked. Please try again.

 

[SFD]

Oh yeah, there it is. Sorry, I can see it fine now.

 

[annakey]

I have also seen dnScoop. Anyone hear about them?

 

[daiso]

Hi Anna,

I sent you a PM. Looking forward to your reply.

Extremedistro....Always pipes up on these type of threads, asking for prices, t/over etc.

What I want to ask is: Do you ever go further than a post on a thread?.
Have you ever bought a business from here?
Do you run a business or businesses?.

And if you can answer yes to any of the above, would care to divulge any information to us?

Or is it just hot air and bluster?

Regardless of the forum or participants you can always guarantee that whenever someone offers a website for sale you'll always get at least one joker asking for t/o, uv's and sales. I've even seen it when the site has been offered at £100?

I always think - 'tyre kicker'

(Of course, there are other words which begin wit T!)

I am a naturally Cynical man, probably the worlds most Cynical man.

And I don't suffer fools gladly, so constant attempts at being a "dragon" by forum participants really gets my goat!.

Even more so, when the only "help "they give is asking for vital stats on websites, without ever following it up with a "I've Bought that" it fitted my criteria!....

I'd suggest listing it on Flippa, I believe that 30 - 40% of sites listed there, sell. It gets a lot of visitors from the UK as well as the US. The listing fee is only $19, so if it doesn't sell, that's all you will have lost. If it does sell you will have to pay a percentage of the selling price.

You might also have a look at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=52 where it's free to offer your site for sale.

Good luck with it!
