Launching your own site is great. You have a business of your own, something that pays the bills but lets you work on your own time. But things can change, you could have time issues, loss of interest, or new responsibilities to keep you from being able to maintain your site. Instead of letting it go to waste, put your site up for sale, have someone else take care of it, and earn some money in the process. Selling your site isn’t as easy as putting a “For Sale” sign in front of your merchandise, though. I mean, it could work if you put up a notice on your site and you find visitors who are interested in buying it or opt to spread the word. But you could also choose to sign up for an online marketplace in order to get more visibility for your site. There are many that get thousands of buyers poking around everyday, you’re bound to find a buyer for yours.
