The Ecwid E-commerce Show: Buying and Selling Websites and E-commerce Businesses

Buying and Selling Websites and E-commerce Businesses

Apr 2, 2021

This week, the Ecwid E-commerce Show hosts Jesse and Richie are joined by Mark Daoust, founder of Quiet Light. Quiet Light is a brokerage for buying and selling websites and e-commerce businesses. Mark gives listeners some inside advice on how to make your domain a valuable web property, and how to eventually sell a successfully developed domain or business.

The discussion touches upon:

The value of buying an existing domain rather than starting a business from scratch
Structuring a company for eventual sale
Making your domain a valuable web property
The value of landing pages to capture niche markets and drive them back to your site
The benefit of finding successful domains related to your business, which you should consider buying
Activities to help with building a successful ongoing business, while creating a sellable asset
The brand as a big piece of the value of your business
Moving beyond just reselling someone else's brand.
Four pillars of value: risk, growth, transferability, documentation.
