Hi everyone,
Iv'e been facing a dilemma in the past few weeks, and I figured it would be a good a idea to post it here and get some quality insights from ya'll
I have a website that makes an average of $250 per month.
I've received an offer to sell my website for $4,250, which is about 17 months (or about 1.5 years) of future profits.
The website is ranking for every single word in a certain niche, let's just call it "eyelashes" in my country (literally everything).
The income is 100% generated from Amazon Affiliate Ads, and it's 100% passive.
Back in the day I was playing with the idea of creating my own eyelashes products, and sell it on my website, which would increase the revenue but will also require me to deal with logistics, order, customer service etc = eliminating the passivity of the business, without a life-changing increase in profits (I could make $2,500 out of it per month, but I will have to work on it every day).
At the moment, I am the only eyelashes Authority website in my country, and I'm years ahead of my competition. I get about 10,000 unique visitors on a monthly basis from google, which is roughly 80% of the organic traffic in this niche around here.
It costed me about $2,250 to get the website to where it is today (not including the time I've invested), as a hobby that I did in my free time.
I know that a big company has made an offer of $7,500 to a Facebook Group in my niche with about 2,000 members, so I figured my website should be worth 2 times more than that.
So my dilemma is: should I sell the website and cash out, or just keep on getting the commissions? Or, any other idea you might have that I haven't thought about yet?
P.S
The offer I received by the way, is not based on my website's profits (the buyer didn't ask about it before he made the offer), so I believe he wants to buy it for some other reasons than the affiliate commissions - maybe he has a product in the niche and he wants to dominate it from day one.
