I Fail. I Sell. Where to Sell My Website

When my clients decide to no longer pursue a website project, they always seem to abandon their codebase with me … the developer.  How about recouping some of those dollars thrown down the drain?

Read On ...

Fail quickly!

This is a favorite piece of advice I give every startup, one which I originally heard from Marc Ostrofsky’s book “Get Rich Click!”  And yes this dude is smart, he’s made millions online.

The point being, the longer you hold on to a bad idea, terribly executed project, under-funded business, over architected website etc … the more money you lose.

And for many years I’ve built projects for clients, then upon closure … they simply walk away.

Their website is like your abandoned Atari 2600 console in the garage.  At one time playing Pitfall and Asteroids was cool and certainly the nostalgic reason you’re holding on to it, but please … SELL THAT SHIT!

eBay, Craigslist, a traditional garage sale … there are many ways to gain back dollars online and in some cases lose only minimal.

But what about that abandoned website project? I.e. where to sell my website.

You can sell your website on the above mentioned three, but it’s highly not advised.  Like any product, there is an appropriate location to sell it.

The top 3 recommended places to sell your website are:

 

FLIPPA

 

Flippa.com is the #1 marketplace online for buying and selling websites.  And I’ve personally used this site to dump and dig for web properties.

WEBSITE BROKER

 

Website Broker is another great marketplace, website shoppers flock here.

FORUMS

 

A bit more of a risky transaction, heavily traffic’d fourms like NamePros.com have sections dedicated to the buying and selling of websites, forum sections like “Websites for Sale.”
