Will You Add? - Tips for a Successful Web Site Auction
Every internet marketing guru will tell you that you need to have your own list of subscribers who you can market to, if you want to make real money from affiliate marketing. Well is this true or is it just a load of hype?There's no question that having your own list is certainly not a bad thing, and the minimal costs of maintaining your own list makes this option a no-brainer really because it can only increase your affiliate income. Your only costs are those of your chosen autoresponder which are relatively small in comparison to the profits you can make.By building a list of subscribers you ensure that a fair few visitors who visit your site are
If the site is built upon a CMS, document the CMS.
If the web site was built using a script, mention that script.
If the site can only run under Unix, document that. Do the same if the site can only run under Microsoft Windows.
Document the Bandwidth Costs
For download, graphics, and proxy sites, document the sites bandwidth usage and what you are paying for that bandwidth.
Concerns over the cost of bandwidth discourage many bidders from those types of web sites.
Place AdSense on the Web Site
Even if the web site has never used AdSense before, place AdSense code on the site to show to bidders that the site has not been banned from AdSense.
Document Rights Which You Will Retain
If you intend to retain the right to use the content of the web site elsewhere, document that. Do the same if you intend to resel
Have you noticed the large amount of help wanted signs on the businesses as you drive down the road? I am amazed just how many openings there are for work, but are they the ones you want? Many of them do not pay enough to survive. Does that mean you shouldn't go and talk to the business owner or manager? Here is a secret most job seekers don't know. Many of those businesses have other positions open. They just don't advertise them so openly. If you see a company with a help wanted sign in the window, go do some investigating. Ask the staff what kind of jobs are available, if you like the place go back different times to talk to different staff.There a
A good site description will make potential buyers feel comfortable in bidding on your web site. The more you can tell a potential buyer, the more potential buyers you will have. And, of course, a larger number of bidders will naturally raise the selling price.
Bidders are willing to pay more for a well-documented site, because they are more comfortable that they will be able to avoid hidden surprises after the purchase.
Here are a few tips to help you create a winning auction for your web site:
State Your Revenue
The simple majority of website buyers are looking for revenue-generating properties.
State your revenue numbers up-front and you won't have to deal with a steady stream of questions regarding those numbers during the sale.
List all of the sites revenue streams, including AdSense, YPN, Commission Junction, and Link Sales.
If a revenue stream (such as a link sale) is scheduled to end at some point, document that point.
For sites costing over $500, be prepared to show proof of revenue for the previous twelve months. For sites costing over $5,000, be prepared to show proof of revenue over the previous three years.
List Your Obligations
If you have traded or sold links, those links should be maintained. Document this for the prospective buyer.
Set a BIN Price
Set a BIN (Buy It Now) price, and make it a reasonable one.
Many buyers will ignore auctions without a BIN price.
A BIN price which is too high will discourage potential buyers because they will believe that you are not negotiating in the proper range.
A BIN price which is too low can cost you considerable lost revenue. If your site sells for BIN on day one, you set your BIN price too low!
Set an Auction End Date
All seasoned web site buyers will ignore an auction with no set end date.
In addition, a set end date raises last-minute interest -- which is where prices really go up.
Set a Starting Price
Setting a starting price informs buyers of the low-end of the price range for the web site and makes them much more comfortable in placing a bid.
Remember, you know more about your web site than any potential buyer.
Document Outbound Co-Op Weight
Many buyers are looking to buy web sites with significant weight in the Digital Point Co-Op.
If your site has 500 or more pages, put the on it so that you can tell potential buyers how much Co-Op weight they will receive.
Document Inbound Co-Op Weight
If you are pointing Digital Point Co-Op Weight at the website, this will boost the Page Rank, traffic, and revenue of the web site.
Document how much Co-Op weight you are pointing to the site and how long you are willing to maintain that arrangement after a sale.
Document Links from Other Sites in Your Private Network
If you have links from your other web sites pointing to the site you are selling, document those links. Tell prospective buyers how long you will maintain those links after a sale.
Mention Your PageRank
Mention your PageRank, to save everyone from having to look it up. The easier you make it for a prospective buyer to place a bid, the more bidders you will have and the higher the final closing price will be.
Mention Your Page Count
Document your page count in each of the major search engines: Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
Document the Registration Date
Document the date your domain was registered.
Document the Technical Requirements
If the site is built upon a CMS, document the CMS.
If the web site was built using a script, mention that script.
If the site can only run under Unix, document that. Do the same if the site can only run under Microsoft Windows.

One popular way you can make money with your website or blog is by promoting affiliate programs. Many people however have found that they do not make money with affiliate marketing - so what are the secrets? How can one ensure that they do make money from affiliate products?The first step in making money with affiliate products is to have some way of capturing leads.

If you have a website this can be done using a lead capture page, if you have a blog you may wish to offer a newsletter on your blog or

When you meet someone new and they ask what do you do for a living or what type of business are you in (and this is a question that is asked often) do you have an answer ready. Or are you unprepared and stumble and stammer and leave them confused about your business. Or is your answer so short that they can not form a picture.You have only one shot at a social networking offline pitch and sharing the highlights of your business to peaking the listeners’ interest. A great offline pitch makes a good first impression that can lead to future business. Even though that person you are talking to may not make a purchase from you, leaving them with a good impress
