Why Everyone Needs a Website, Including You

The post Why Everyone Needs a Website, Including You appeared first on HostGator Blog . Back in the day, a business card was an indicator of being in business. It told the world what you were about and where you were heading. Today, the same can be said for your website. If you run a business , do freelance work, or even work as an employee, a website has become indispensable. With endless social media profiles and other forms of digital representation the question arises, “Do I even need a website?” The answer is a resounding yes . Having your own website gives you a medium that you control 100%. Beyond that, we offer even more reasons below. Keep reading to learn why everyone needs a website. 1. Set Yourself Up for Future Success Your website gives you a vehicle to showcase your expertise, build a personal brand , and offer a way to showcase your creativity. Your site will continually evolve with you as you progress throughout your personal and working life. By having a personal website you extend your opportunities for growth and success. For example, by creating a blog that’s filled with captivating and compelling content around your area of expertise you’ll not only be able to network with other’s in your niche but also establish your authority in time.   2. Stand Out From The Field You can even think of your website as a digital resume. Instead of just listing places you’ve worked and skills you’ve acquired, you can actually show off those skills in real time. If you’re looking to give yourself a leg up on your competition, then your website can be the perfect way to showcase your skills. For example, a standard resume is kind of boring. You can use your website to the same effect, but you can also make your past work experience more engaging by including photos, testimonials, additional text, and even video.   3. Control Over Your Image Having complete control over how you present yourself is important. Today, whether you’re applying for a new job, pitching a potential project, or simply introducing yourself to someone, the chances are high that they’ll Google you first. Even though your social media profiles may come up, this won’t give people a curated version of yourself, but instead, an aggregation of the pictures and words you thought were worth sharing with the world at that moment in time. Your website gives you a chance to showcase yourself in digital form. It’s near impossible to have this same level of control by relying on other platforms, or not having a website at all.   How to Get Started Building Your Site So, you’re convinced you need to build your own site. That’s good, creating your very first website is a closer reality than you think. With the new GATOR builder , you can have a site online in as little a couple of clicks. Of course, you’ll want to spend time thinking about the overall goals of your website, what you want it to look like, and it’s purpose for existing. But, by using a website builder you can create your site without having any existing development experience. Just select your theme, drag and drop certain elements until you’re satisfied, then publish your site online. Hopefully, you have a better understanding of the importance of having your own website, even if you aren’t planning on monetizing it directly. Find the post on the HostGator Blog Continue reading

How Much Is My Website Worth?

The post How Much Is My Website Worth? appeared first on HostGator Blog . How Much Is My Website Worth – Knowing When To Sell You’ve put a lot of time and energy into your website. After another long day of typing away at your keyboard and working away at your website, you’re probably wondering, what’s the end goal? Some people create websites for the love of it, or as a necessity for their small business. Some people create sites with the goal to eventually sell their site down the road. Have you ever thought about selling your site and asked yourself the question, “How much is my website worth?” This post is for you. Below we’ll show you how to determine how much your website is worth, so you can answer the question, should I sell my website? Should You Sell Your Website? If your website has been generating consistent revenue, then it is up to you whether you want to continue that monthly income, or try and cash out for a lump sum payment. Ultimately, choosing to sell your website is up to you. If you’ve been generating consistent revenue, have decreased expenses as much as possible, and optimized your revenue streams, then you’re in a solid position to sell. If this sounds like you, then it could be time to sell your site: You feel like your site has reached it’s potential, both in income and traffic. You feel bored with your current site or frustrated that it’s still taking up your time. You want to cash out and move onto other opportunities. Selling your site should be something you’re excited about and not something you feel forced or pressured into.   How Much is Your Website Worth? There isn’t a way to determine the exact amount you’ll get for your website. But, you can get a general range that’ll be pretty close to what you can expect to get for the sale. To get a sense for how much your website is worth you’ll multiply your monthly or yearly profit times a certain multiple. How large that multiple is depends upon what kind of site you run, its legacy of income, its traffic sources, and a lot more. The general equation is: ( your monthly revenue)  multiplied by (a factor of 24-36) . However, this multiple will vary based upon a variety of factors. Below we explore how you can both determine and increase the amount you’ll get for the sale: Your Net Profit — How much does your website actually make? What’s your yearly or monthly net profit after expenses? The higher this number the better. Long-Term Profit — Have you been consistently generating revenue for years? Or, are you experiencing an income spike? Buyers like to see steady, or increasing income, month after month. Multiple Revenue Streams — How many revenue streams do you have? If you rely on a single revenue stream your site could be risky. While if you’re diversified across things like your own product income, advertising, and affiliate products, you’ll get a higher multiple. Multiple Traffic Streams — If your site relies on a single traffic source it could be risky if that dries up. Having a site solely based on SEO can net you more cash than an advertising-based site. But, the more traffic sources available the better. External Factors — Do you have an engaged email list ? How about active social media channels? These aren’t necessary, but they can help to improve the overall value of a sale. Time Required to Run — Does your site require you to work a 50-hour week? Or, is it optimized where you only need to put in an hour or less per day? The less time your site requires to run the more it’ll be worth. If you want to get an accurate representation of how much your current site is worth then check out the Empire Flippers valuation tool . It uses the criteria above and more to give you a general valuation of your existing site.   How to Sell Your Website Although you can technically sell your website to anyone at any time, the recommended approach is to go through a website broker. This will help get your site in front of potential buyers and help to ensure the safe transfer of your site and payment. The three most common places to sell your site are highlighted below:   1. Flippa Flippa is an auction site where people can place bids on your website. You can list your site for a certain amount, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll get that amount, or that it will sell at all. They currently have around a 10% sell rate for the websites listed. You can think of it like a marketplace that’s similar to eBay. Typically, sites that are sold on Flippa end up selling for smaller amounts, however, there have been some larger deals processed through the platform.   2. Empire Flippers Empire Flippers acts as a partner in helping you sell your site. They help to walk you through the entire process, get your website in front of serious buyers, and even transfer over the site to the new owner, so you don’t have to. You can expect to pay a higher fee than listing your site on Flippa. But, if you’re selling a high-quality site, and you want it done right, then they’re worth checking out.   3. FE International FE International is an online brokerage that helps you sell your website and online business. They will work with you side by side the entire time and make it as easy as possible to sell your website or online business. With a 94.1% success rate, the chances of selling your website are high, as long as it’s high-quality.   Is Your Website Worth Selling? Hopefully, you have a better idea of when you should sell your site, how to determine how much it’s worth, and where you should consider listing your site for sale.
