I have been buying for some time now which cannot be sustained forever.
I also make a really crap seller as I am usually the one with ‘unrealistic asking prices’

Selling is not something that comes naturally to me as I am building a present and a future, after spending hours finding gems and buying domains, developing mini sites and buying old sites that are zero maintenance how on earth are you meant to consider selling something that takes zero effort and brings in a few hundred a month for a fast buck?

The general consensus is to multiply the net monthly earnings by {x}

24 months? No way not from me, not worth it, if you selling then contact me and I may buy for that.
36 Months..possibly
48 months.. The buyers tend to baulk at these still and it’s about the least I would take to walk away.

At the start of this month I was looking to raise some cash, I had decided and priced up getting a swim spa in the garden, a swim spa seemed like a good solution, we don’t have the climate for outdoor pools so needs to be inside in a pool house, a swim spa is like an endless pool with jets so there is a current you swim again meaning that it can be smaller than a pool at around 4 metres and also has a jacuzzi in built, easier to heat and run.

5 metre by 5 metre pool house with veranda (£3445 delivered)
Electricity run to the shed on it’s own RCD ~ £300
Swim spa/Jacuzzi with cover, ladders & a few extras £5500 delivered

So pretty much a kick in the arse of off £10k ($20K) for all this, this prompted me to look at selling a couple of zero maintenance sites to raise funds, checked back stats for two sites that could be sold as a pair, they can earn a good £600 + per month, I spoke to a couple of people about a 48x multiple at around £25-£30k but things were moving slowly and not getting anywhere quickly, then after a visit from my mate who has already invested in a few domains with me as a bit of fun - he suggested that he buys in 50% on them. We already had a small site that was earning around $20 per day and we have a few domains as a well so already have a small partnership.

After a few games of snooker I agreed that I would sell to him on a 36 month basis and let him buy in @ 50%, so we agreed on a price of £9000 for his 50% share, an excellent outcome, this means I get my cash for my pool house and I still get to keep these sites and earn 50% of the revenue forever, much more attractive than selling out. Both sites cost under £200 to make initially so pure profit really. My mate gets a 50% share in a pair of sites that need zero maintenance and that takes our little partnership income up from around $20 per day to somewhere around $80 per day.

Partnerships are not for everyone but in this instance, for me, this was the best way not to sell and raise some cash.
