Re: waddya think?
Ok. Interesting. My questions are:
Do you want to sell it?
If yes, then:
Why do you want to sell it? Because you're tired of running it? Because you want to invest the money elsewhere? You're ready to retire? There are many reasons for selling, but make sure you have a reason.
Assuming you want to sell, you have to pin down a few things for me (I am not asking you to disclose all this publically, but a buyer will want to know this).
How much traffic does it get weekly, monthly, annually? Can you provide potential buyers with stats showing these trends?
How does it make money? Just through Adsense, or are there multiple streams of revenue?
How has revenue trended in the last 12 months, month over month? Last 11 years, year over year? Where do you project revenues heading next year? Why?
How much do you spend annually on advertising, and via what methods? How much of your traffic comes via online ads and how much is type-in, returning clients/customers and via search engines?
What is your asking price? This, along with your revenues/expenses/profit will help the buyer determine whether it is a wise investment.
What multiple of earnings are you trying to achieve via a sale?
Have you identified potential buyers? Are they in the trucking industry? The classified ad industry? Web entreprenuers?
There are lots of questions to be answered.
If you are really turning a $30 K a year profit on this site, it will be of interest to others. You just have to identify your market, have your numbers ready to share, know your goals, etc.
If you're serious, you should probably hire someone to sell it for you. They'll take a commission. But you should expect to sell this for more than $100,000 I think, so it makes sense to have an experienced broker to work for you.
