What would make you sell up?

What would make you sell the forum/blog you have worked so hard on? To top up your PayPal or because you simply don't have the time and you don't want it to go to waste in the dungeon of the internet?

Personally, I sold up because I didn't have the time for my old forum!

i think if someone offered me millions for it and i could remain involved i would be tempted lol

on the serious side i really dont know - i would not know until it happened if that makes sense

 

[Martee]

Hey, who can say no to a couple millions? Haha!

Is that your dream job xpl0iter???

 

[xpl0iter]

No, real estate business in my town is easy money!
I don't have dream job I guess!
I just want to earn money, go on a world tour and enjoy life!

I would sell for the right amount or if it ended up I didn't have time to run it properly.

This is definitely a question for @Cedric to answer

We all can say one thing.. but if the circumstances are right, we all probably would sell.
Me personally... it would have to be for enough to buy about 500 acres in a Bortle 1-2 zoned area of the US that was not in danger of light pollution within the next 10-15 years.
It would also have to cover the building of several buildings with installed piers and roll off roofs, a large generator system with solar power also and a large backbone to the internet and the associated remote access equipment.
Put all those hints together and you have a remote astrophotography facility where each pier rents for around $600-$2500 per month (depending on scope size), and you can get (on average) around 30-40 piers per building.
I didn't realize how lucrative that remote hosting of equipment was until I got in this field and started pricing it (this is US based).

And honestly.. I'd then be setting up another site dealing with that remote hosting business... and it would have a discussion area also.

"To top up your PayPal"

I would only sell if I knew I couldn't keep my communities going, say like if a life event happened. If I got less time to work on my projects, I would look to try and sell them so they could at least stay online.

I started creating websites in 2015 and by the end up 2016, I was running almost a dozen websites, mostly blog. I sold my first website in 2017. I sold it because running multiple websites was getting harder for me. When I sold a website for the first time, it gave me an idea that I could make quick bucks by selling websites. I have sold a lot of websites via Flippa.
