ReTweet.com sells for a quarter million dollars!
What does it take for a site to sell for $250,000.00?
Well it’s a complicated question and there are definitely a lot of factors. In the case of ReTweet.com that just sold for that amount it’s basically three factors.
First the amount of visitors comes in to play, 26 million visits a month and 12 million of those are unique visits. You can get more of the actual stats from the sales page on Flippa where the auction took place.
Second the domain name plays a huge part, Twitter has a function called “ReTweet” which basically means to repost something of interest on Twitter, so you can see how this domain can be of interest.
The third reason, is actually what probably limited the sale to that amount is the fact that the site hasn’t been monetized, basically that they aren’t making any money. I do believe that they haven’t tried, and once someone tries, if it’s done right, it will work and bring in quite a bit of money. That being said, I’m sure if they had monetized it first they could’ve sold it for much more, but a quarter million dollars might be the right amount not to go through with all that effort.
Evidently it was for them.

It isn’t simple and will probably be tougher to make decent cash on-line,while you begin you just cant cease pushing, day by day something new until you attain the stage where it’s turning into routine to make cash, once you come to that time, than you’ll be able to say it is easy, a lot of work and dedication—
another great way to sell online is to find deals for resale . which you can find on clearance at your local stores like walmart,target,ect which you can sell on ebay or amazon for a great profit. all you do is check the completed listings on ebay to see if the item on clearance that you are considering is profitable.
