very good list. i’ve been flowing your site since i first read it on johnchow. you write long indepth posts that aren’t too technical and boring. thats why i keep coming back. one thing tho. since you have had success in the past with other web ventures, i would like some posts covering the starting process. i think its important to point out that the way to monetize a blog about making money online is to reach out to blogger noobs. readers that already have accounts with affs and services are not going to make you any money. its about getting the little guy to sign up under you right. isn’t that the point about making money online. help us noobs out. thanks

Great list of advice, Scott, and timely for me; though I’m selling only undeveloped domains at this time - not nearly as complicated as developed sites - the advice helps. I consider myself a fairly good negotiator but really appreciate the legal tips which I’m sure I will reference in the future.

“Do you have any suggestions for lines to say if they ask for a price or range you’re interested in?”

I agree with Ron’s advice above.

Great list. I’ve sold numerous internet properties and this list would of helped me, although none of my deals went sour (thankfully). In response to the previous comment, if a buyer asks for a price or range, I usually just respond with “We start our negotiations with a buyer offer, and then we go from there” or something. Essentially just make up different things until the buyer makes their initial offer. I made the mistake numerous times when I was starting off of setting my price/range at a number, and I could of easily gotten much more.
