Selling One Of My Businesses -- Need Help

Aloha Friends,

As some of you know, I decided to get out of the incestuous "teach people to make money" market -- and am now focusing on a different niche.

I am selling off the assets I have... including:

** A website (goldblogger.com) and blog that stretches back to 2002. Good usable, original content.

** A website (MakeMoneyBlogging.com) that sells a $597 physical product at a 1.38% conversion rate.

** Copyright and license to a $597-797 physical product

Does anyone have any experience at this? Is there an auction site for such a thing?

Aloha,

Jason Cain

http://www.sitepoint.com seems to have very good success in this area

Use the "marketplace" link on the site

Thanks for asking Jason.

* First approach your competition and ask them if they want to buy your website and products out.
* Then approach your friends and subscribers.
* Only if that doesn't work out - go to sitepoint.com or ebay.com

He is one of the guys who buys other peoples blogs. You may want to contact him.

Thanks Phil and Ankesh,

Great links and ideas presented by everyone.

I have been looking over SitePoint and see that I have some prime VRE (virtual real estate) with both MakeMoneyBlogging and Goldblogger.

Goldblogger averages over 30k unique visitors a month. And MakeMoneyBlogging.com gets about 580 unique visitors with over 1% converting to sales. I know that MMBs traffic levels and conversion rate can be improved by someone wanting to devote the time to doing it.

Ankesh, I am going to offer the sites to competitors and subscribers first. I am gathering the facts and constructing a salesletter.

I have also trying to have the sites appraised. There are a couple companies that do that apparently.

Thanks for the help folks!

Aloha,
