Selling websites: This is a kind of online business, in that we can sell or buy any type of website for different prices and by getting a commission in different ratios.
Types of websites: In the Website selling business, usually some types of websites get more bids and are easy to sell. Including eCommerce stores, content sharing websites, and auto pilates websites.

Website creation: Development and designing of websites is the main thing where actually we need to invest. The procedure of creating a website has different types that entirely depend upon which type of website do you want to create. E-commerce stores and content sharing websites we can easily make using different website builders like WordPress and Wix etc. While for the tools sites we need to go for custom websites. For both methods, we can hire web developers from different freelancing sites.
Content to post on site: After the creation of the website, the next step is the creation of value-giving content. Which definitely we decided before making the website. Usually, all types of websites have content in written form. But content-sharing blogs and e-commerce stores always need more articles. Which we can write by own otherwise we can hire content writers for this purpose. Likewise, at this phase, we can have to pay writers for creating the content for the website
Ranking: Ranking websites on different search engines is very important it and it is just possible by doing SEO. If you don’t know how to do SEO then we can have hired an SEO expert. For this too we can need money.
Selling website: After the all above steps, the last step has come which is the selling of the website. Means the time to enjoy the result. The selling price of websites is decided by website worth or from monthly revenue if your site is made 100$ per month and 1200$ annually then your site estimate price will be 3500$.

- Empire flippers (commission rate between 10to15 percent)
- Micro acquire (free for both)
- Exchange (takes some Commission after sell but the listing is free)
- Side projects (free for both but have a premium version )
Alternative of the first method
Besides this complete procedure, there is another alternative method that is very short and easy to follow. But it will work for you if you have some extra money to invest and want to start this business but don’t want to go through the full process. The second method is, you can buy a site from the buy and selling website, afterward do some work on it and then can sell receiving some commission.
Along with the first method I also use this method to make some extra money and especially in that case when I get the opportunity to buy some good websites at low prices. Next, I do some investment of money and time to improve the site the state and sell it after three months for the triple price.

- If your site is a blog or news website so it must have Google AdSense approval. If it has no so will be good if you get Google AdSense approval for this website just this single thing presence can increase the price of the website.

The old domain always had a good domain authority along with some search rate, That can be varied to vary for different domains. You can make a new website with an old domain afterward can sell it for a high price.
