Pricing Your Blog
How much is your blog worth? It can be really difficult to figure out how much to sell your blog for. Ask too much, and you won’t find a buyer. Ask too little, and you’ll be missing out on money you should have had.

Here’s how to work out what to charge.

First, determine your average monthly profit from your blog. You’ll normally do this for the past 6 to 12 months. Let’s say you’re making $1,000/month.

Then, multiply this by 12 to work out a starting point for selling your blog. That gives you $12,000 as a baseline price point to consider.

Now, some people will say you can ask for 20 or even 40-50 times the average monthly income.

On sites like Empire Flippers where I spend a lot of time looking at blogs for sale, most sites have a sale price that’s a multiple of at least 40x their average monthly income.

Your sale price is naturally going to depend on other factors, like how much potential your blog has for growth, how big your mailing list is, how much organic search engine traffic you get, what niche you’re in, how high your email list conversion rate is, which revenue sources you have, and much more.

Ultimately, it’s up to you how much to ask for.

If you’re not in a rush to sell your blog, you might want to start out by asking for around 30-40 times your blog’s monthly income (that’s $30,000-$40,000 for a blog earning $1,000/month) and see if there’s interest.

If you don’t get any interest, you can simply lower the asking price a little.

You can also use online website valuation calculators to figure out a rough price for your albania phone number resource . With these, you’ll need to answer some questions about your blog, like your annual revenue and monthly visitors.

Another good option is to check out the price points for similar blogs on Flippa, Empire Flippers or another marketplace, to see what the going rate for a site like yours is, right now.

Taxes
After selling a website, you’ll likely need to pay taxes on your blog income. Your profit may be considered a “capital gain” similar to—real estate.

This is good news for you, as it means you’ll only need to pay tax on the difference between the development costs (e.g. the amount you paid for the site or the amount you paid to develop it) and the sale price, instead of paying income tax on the full sale price.

You’ll likely want to consult a professional accountant or tax attorney to make sure you’re paying tax correctly on the sale of your website or blog—and not paying more tax than you need to.

Contracts and Accepting Payment
When selling a blog, it’s really important to be clear about exactly what you’re selling. That could be:

Everything to do with the blog: Your domain name, content, design, logo, other branding, email list, social media accounts, and so on. This is what most people think of when they’re selling or flipping a blog.
Just the domain name: Buying and selling domain names is a whole entire industry, itself.
Anything in between: For instance, you might sell your domain name, content, and branding, but not your social media accounts if you’re using those for other projects too (or if they’re your personal handles).
