I have a very simple online business that I am considering selling:

I own a domain name that has received a steady 200-250 unique “type-in” visitors every day for almost two years. I send these people to another website that pays me $15.00 for every sale of an information product (which retails at $19.95)

On average, I make around 5 sales per day, which is $75 gross profit. At the end of each month I get about $2250 wired to my bank account - sometimes more, sometimes a little less, depending on the month. Fall/Winter/Spring = more, Summer = less (fewer people online.)

I regularly receive unsolicited offers for the domain name for $10,000, although the domain name is presumably worth far more than this.

Any idea what I might be able to sell this little business for?

Thanks,

Noble Baron
