032: Buying & Selling Websites with Mark Daoust from Quiet Light Brokerage

Welcome to episode 32 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! This week, Bjork talks with Mark Doust about buying and selling established websites.

Most of you probably aren't thinking of selling your website right now. But even if you aren't, knowing what makes a website "sellable" can really help you in the future if that day ever does come.

Mark Daoust has made his living by helping people buy and sell websites since 2007, and he's become a go-to expert in the field. Lucky for us, he decided to come on the podcast today and tell us everything he knows - well, as much as he can in an hour!

In this really educational interview, Mark shares:

• The difference between selling profitable vs. non-profitable websites
• Why having a "personal" approach to your website can limit sellability
• How you can transition from a "personal" website to a more general one when it comes time to sell
• The 4 factors that contribute to a sellable business
• How diversifying income and traffic sources can lower your website's risk
• The simplest & most important part of owning your business
• The most important factors that contribute to your business value
