In the marketplace forums you only pay one fee and you can sell many websites and domains without paying extra. If you decide to join a marketplace forum, you can also earn money selling other products and services like content writing, software, scripts, freelance projects and even banner and link ads.



Ready to sell? What now?

When you are ready to set up an auction for your website on a marketplace forum like www.zidbiz.com, you'll need to list the price for you website, and the description of the site you are selling. Make your description include the pertinent information like how much the site earns each month, what you spend on advertising and your overhead costs, how many visitors you receive monthly, and why you're selling the site. People want to know why you're letting a profitable business go, so tell them the truth.

The best advice for a winning description for your website auction is to be forthcoming with the relevant information and truthful about the reality of the site, and your intentions. Buyers appreciate honesty, and the truth seems to be recognizable.

While some people tend to oversell their site, others tend to undersell it. Don't be afraid to boast about what's great about the site. Does it address a certain niche with very little competition? Does it have unique content from an expert in the field? How do you differentiate your site from the others in the pack? Make sure buyers know why your site is special.

Accepting Payment

Payment can be a tricky transaction that comes with risk if not properly executed. A service like Escrow.com helps both the buyer and the seller reduce the risk involved in making the transaction.

Both buyer and seller register at Escrow.com. The buyer initiates the payment and puts the agreed upon amount into escrow. The seller must transfer the site to the buyer, and once transferred, the buyer releases the payment to the seller and pays the escrow fees. This way both parties are protected and the transaction is complete.

You can also accept payment through PayPal, if the seller feels comfortable with this. This is the typical payment method for sites selling for under $200.

Selling a website can just be a matter of putting it out there for bid. You never know when someone needs a site in your niche, or you type, and with your market share. The more value you add, and are able to prove in numbers and statistics, the more money you can make.

All in all, if you are selling, sell something valuable. Build up some content, promote it a bit and sell it after. Don`t ask for to much! If you bought a domain for $10 and someone is giving you $50 for it, consider selling! Yes, you could maybe sell it for more, but it is better to let the money flow. It will help build up your business and your psychological energy!
