Has anyone had much success on Flippa? - Zigg - Jun 9, 2016

Has anyone had much success selling their websites on Flippa? I've just listed my website which has made about $1500, so far it's got 3 watchers and no bids though

Also has anyone tried buying websites that are already making passive income? Was wondering if this is a viable way to make money

be patient , you cant sell it so fast

Well I guess it depends on the quality of your website or maybe you are pricing it to high

Read this earlier but you say your website has made 1.5k right? Why not stick at it? Earn more money!

Quick money now yeah but in the future you could be making A LOT more

How much does it generate monthly, and is it through ads?

It can generate about $600 - $800+ a month, however this is with many hours of work a day, which I don't feel is worth the time. It doesn't use ads

Gotta be super patient with that site.

$600-$800+ a month? Why not stick at it and make $2k a month? I think it's worth it, $2k a month is not a low amount of money.
Especially not when websites earn usually more and more if you are dedicated.

I would have to be working on it full time to be maintaining those earnings, and I want to be earning more than that.

For how long does the site exist? People on Flippa tend to not buy sites younger than 6 months, when they don't offer any reliable analytics.

The real "investors" only look at the long term data and calculate their overall ROI for several time-horizons. Sure, you can always be lucky and sell a young website if it has potential, but its not that easy.

Really? They have a whole section dedicated to starter sites. My site is 4 months old

Yes of course, you can always be lucky and get your sites sold. But there is a reason why there are complete agencies who only sell your website for you if it at least 6 or even 12 months old. It is a lot easier because people see a steady stream of income or visitors.

But nonetheless, I wish you lots of luck with your site !
