There have been quite a few of you guys contacting me asking if I would help sell their blog or asking how much X site would potentially get so I figured I’d address a few things if you need help selling your blog.
The few that I asked me to help sell their blog offered to pay me either by commission depending on how much the blog sells or by a flat rate. At the time, I actually turned the offers because I felt it would be hard finding a buyer, plus, I think they didn’t want me to simply just list an auction on sitepoint or something.
There have also been some that I have contacted me asking for me opinion on how much certain sites would sell for. I think my answer is usually the same: “It all depends.”
Ahhh… yes… the “depends” factor.
Quite frankly, it does all depend. There are many factors that buyers take into consideration but more importantly, you have to remember that just because a site has the potential to make X amount in a site flip, it doesn’t mean that it will.
A good example of that would be Jason of Theuniversitykid.com. His site is worth a lot more than what he got in offers and unfortunately he didn’t sell for the first time. Luckily for you potential buyers, he’s selling it again and I heard he’s selling it for cheaper than before!
But when it comes down to it, a blog sale all depends on finding the right buyer, not just a buyer. I think people tend to overlook that aspect.
When you find the right buyer, you should automatically know.
A good example of that would be Sly of Slyvisions.com who sold his blog a few months ago to the right buyer. Not only did he sell the blog for a lot more than he expected ($9,500) but he also found someone that is pretty good at this online entrepreneur stuff.
It’s not exactly hard finding buyers but I think we all want to find that right one. You can do various things to find buyers such as:
- List your blog at sitepoint auction (but you pay a fee)
- Find potential buyers through sitepoint’s “want to buy” section
- List your blog on other forums such as DP but more than likely you won’t get as much that way
- Spread the info through word-of-mouth
- Let other blogs know, they may write about it on their blogs
See, there’s a bunch of ways, you just need to look.
I’m definitely still willing to help people sell their blog or give them my estimate on how much I think their sites are worth but when it comes down to it, I’m sure you guys can do it by yourselves. 
Good ideas for selling your blog. I think the best places to sell a blog are either Digital Point forums (In the BST Section) or Sitepoint, even though there’s a fee there.
Do you enjoy blogging or do you just do it to flip blogs for money?

The price of a blog depends on the buyer. If the buyer likes the blog and is willing to pay at that price, he buys it. If he is not, he looks for another blog.
Blogs don’t sell well on dp and there are a lot of scammers on dp compared to sitepoint.

Thanks for sharing. I haven’t visited Site Point for way too long and forgot they even had such a section for selling your sites…

Not only depends on the buyer, but also depends on the site ranking, PR and the regular visitors visit the site daily or weekly.
I’d steer well clear of DP, too many scammers and idiots there
Hello:
That is my frist visit this site, it is really OK. I read a lot of my interest in this web blog. I am sure that is still willing to help people sell their own blog or give me the estimated number of them, in my opinion are worthy of their website but when it comes down to it, Thanks for sharing.
not thinking to sell a blog right now. they are a lot of thing to do before sell any blog that we have with a nice price.
I don’t think can estimate how much a site is worth. Just like the saying goes… “Beauty is in the eye of beholder.”
