Short, practical guide for : selling a news site is selling a small business — not a per-page ad slot. Marketplaces and brokers are options (as other members hinted), but the fastest way to get a good price is to package the site so a buyer can quickly verify income, ownership, and transfer steps.

Buyers look for predictable, lawful, and transferable revenue. The clearest single metric is monthly net profit (all revenue minus real expenses) plus a trendline for the last 6–12 months. Valuation is usually expressed as a multiple of historic profit; that multiple rises with stable recurring revenue (subscriptions, long-term sponsors), diversified traffic sources, low manual overhead, and clear content ownership. Red flags that lower value: single-source traffic, lots of manual moderation, unclear contributor agreements, or legal/DMCA history.

Checklist to prepare before listing (share full details only under NDA):

  • Google Analytics (or server logs) with date-ranged screenshots and a view you can grant.
  • Proof of revenue: merchant/payments, ad/affiliate statements for 6–12 months.
  • List of recurring expenses: hosting, contractors, tools.
  • Contributor agreements or proof you own the content.
  • Subscriber/email export and opt-in proof.
  • Social account follower counts and admin transferability.
  • Ads/affiliate/sponsor contracts and transfer notes.
  • Technical docs: CMS, backups, deployment steps, credentials plan.
  • Any legal history: takedowns, disputes, or trademark claims.
  • A short transition plan (30–90 days support) and an NDA/escrow preference.

Practical steps: create an anonymized listing (no full domain until serious), require NDA before sensitive data, use an escrow service or broker for payment, make clear which accounts the buyer must create (merchant/ad networks usually cannot be transferred), and offer a short transition period. As said, focus on income and sustainability rather than raw page counts; as @BestRentSA and suggested, marketplaces can work — but preparation wins the sale.

It depends on the services of your site. Have it evaluated by other web masters so that they can give you an idea of how much you should sell your site. :)

There are websites that specialise in selling websites for example http://www.flippa.com
Id set a Reserve price, cause they can go cheaply.
