Aftermarket — selling your stuff.

 When you are throwing up sites fast and linking to them – well sometimes you need an influx of cash to buy that server, or get a bunch of domain names.  If you’ve been working hard for a few months and just want to take the ‘honey’ out for a night on the town – here are some places where you can turn those sites you made pretty fast.

(Since your sites should have some revenue, traffic, and links – they should sell nicely)

  13. DigitalPoint: Digital Point’s Sites Forum allows you to list sites and find resources at the same time.
  14. Experiment: Selling a Domain Name on eBay, Part 1: eBay isn’t considered to be one of the best places to sell your domain. Nonetheless, this domainer’s willing to give it a try. Learn about his experience here.
  15. SnapNames: Get 30 day advertisement and an auction with lots of exposure as well as easy payment and transfers on SnapNames.
  16. Tulip Domains: Put your domain up for sale on Tulip Domains, and you’ll get offers via email that you can accept or reject, with a 5% commission to Tulip Domains.

Note – not my list – the credit goes to a post by seo_mike on wickedfire – but he found it from Jessica Hupp.

I’d like to add a few more places though.

- sitepoint.com’s forum.

- to other98percent.com members (there is a spot in the forum)

- me :)   (Seriously. If you’ve got some content and some links going – hit me up since I might be interested).

Sites usually sell for about 6 to 12 months revenue – but content does count for something as well.  If you have a lot of content that has value as well.  Experienced buyers know that a new site isn’t going to have ‘kick butt’ revenue and will ’sometimes’ pay a premium for a good site to round out a network.

Trends, ideas, and content.

When I’m looking for a new topic or product to break into sometimes I get paralyzed by the research phase… sometimes I can’t even think of a topic to get started on.

I’m sure it happens to everyone so here are some ideas to help you out.

Google Sets and Google trends are a great way to get a small list of words and topics from.  Check out google trends – then move onto google sets.  Once you have those 12 or so topics it’s time to head over to Wordze.

Another great place to get started (and possibly find some content or learn more about the topic) is alltop. I bet if you spend a few minutes in there you will get some ideas.
