I have a website I built and I’d like to sell it ( http://freeforexsms.com ) because I just don’t have time to add more features and continue development. Now selling websites is no new thing to me or some cryptic ordeal. But my complaint is that there is no place where you can sell for free. The old adage really does go everywhere; You gotta spend money to make money.

Here are some places where you can sell websites.

Flippa.com

Probably one of the best places I’ve seen solely dedicated to selling websites and they do a very good job. I hate their fees though, that goes without saying.

• Listing Fee: $19
• Success Fee: 5%
• Maximum Success Fee: $498
• Minimum Success Fee: $5

It cost’s me $20 just to even list my site for sale on there? Damn. I wouldn’t mind that if  I was asking for a bit more. Here is their complete pricing structure because they do take a percentage of the sale. I think I’ll pass on listing here.

DigitalPoint Forums

The Digital Point forums area haven for webmasters. Not just for selling and buying websites and scripts, there’s a lot of discussion and help on various aspects of web development, search engines, internet marketing, and the like. I tried to post my site for sale in their for sale section, but was unable to.

You must have been a member for 14 days, not have an overall red reputation and have 25 total posts to post in the Buy, Sell or Trade forum (which includes link exchanges) or the Politics & Religion forum.

Now being a member for 14 days was no problem, I’ve been registered since May 25, 2007. However, I never had made any posts yet. I don’t want to spam their forum, and it’s probably a large enough forum where I can start posting and in a few days I’ll easily have 25 posts, but that’s not the point. I can’t really nag on these guys for this rule, it weeds out a lot of crap that would probably get posted there.

Ebay.com

Ebay was my last idea only because I don’t know of any other free places (well, next to free) to list. Ebay will definitely take the least amount from my sale.

I’m not even going to try and explain Ebay’s fee schedule here, it’s way too complicated. But here is a link to it: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html

So my question is, where can one freely list a website for sale? Because I cannot find a decent reliable place for this. Does one even exist?

I’ve had a few thoughts running through my head about branching out and making money not only online, but offine as well.

I figured, what do I like to do naturally? Computers (for the most part). So I pondered some more and thought about moving to the other city again and possibly opening a business doing computer consulting. Computer repair, installation, network installation, phone installation, and of course VoIP, just to name a few.

I don’t doubt my abilities. I’ve installed networks for 100+ computers back in the days when we held LAN parties. I know computers like Bob Dylan knows music.

I just have to take that step and do it. Once I get enough money from hustling online, I think my next action will be do move to the other city and start doing this consultation business on the side, because lets face it, my REAL goal was to get out of the USA. I can’t lose sight of that goal, even it takes me longer than I imagine.

Does anyone have any other ideas that I could do for making money offline?

It’s now just about February and I’m not very close to reaching my goal yet heh. But I do have some short term goals.

1. I want to move into an apartment in a city. I have found cheap ($400-$500/month)  2-3bedroom apartments in the college town nearby, about 30 minutes. This alone would do drastic measures for me.I absolutely loathe living in the middle of nowhere.
2. I want to start an internet tv show. I have plans brewing, so it will happen.
3. Learn more Asterisk. I want to set up a phone system for some use.
4. Set up an LLC for all my projects.

Well, those are my short term goals. Hopefully within the next 3-5 months these will be started.

One thing I’ve wanted to do for about seven years now is homebrew, that is, brew my own beer.

I finally took the plunge and bought a homebrew kit yesterday.

Then I got to thinking, how can I make money off of this??? And so my brain went to work. Perhaps you’ll see a new type of beer being advertised here soon

My hustle hasn’t been 100% yet this year. I’ve had some severe bronchitis for about 4 weeks now that’s killing me. I’m going to the doctor to get this fixed. I need to get hustling.

Help me doc, you’re my only hope.
