How to Sell a Magazine Website
Selling a magazine website can be more difficult than selling other themed websites because of the larger focus and different genres within the website. It could have travel, personal, health or fashion articles that fall into a broad range of categories. Consider selling it as a media/publication piece. Check out the market for your website theme, then ask for a website appraisal before you advertise the sale.

Start selling your magazine website by asking for an appraisal from a professional. You can find them online and in various media and technology companies. Put in 'website appraisal' in a Google search and see what results you get. Usually these companies will know how much money your website is worth when they look through it and ask you some specific traffic and revenue questions.

Clean up your personal information in your website. Take off any affiliate programs and advertisements you have had with third party companies. When you sell your magazine website, you might want to protect your security and keep from being affiliated with the website and its changes or developments.
