Mark Daoust, Founder of Quiet Light Brokerage, just contacted me to let me know he’s offering a 10% referral fee.
Quiet Light specializes in acting as a broker between buyers and sellers of small-mid-sized sites mainly in the $100k-$1 million range. They cover a variety of business models, including subscription content sites and paid membership sites, but also including other ecommerce and ad-based sites.
Mark’s team typically receive a 10% commission on any sales they help broker. In turn, they are happy to give people who help them find sales to broker 10% of that commission. So if you refer a site to them that winds up being sold for $100,000, they’d get $10,000 and then cut you a check for $1000. Which isn’t bad for making a quick introduction. (Psst, if you decide to sell your site through them, tell them SubscriptionSiteInsider sent you.) Actually we ourselves are clients of Mark’s, only on the buyer side. We’re looking to buy b2b niche content sites and we’re hoping Mark’s team can help us find some. So, we’re very happy if you refer folks to Mark whether or not we end up with any commission :-).
In the meantime, if you are interested in selling a subscription service or site — or in just finding out whether you should consider selling someday — definitely check out Subscription Site Insider’s on-demand webinar: Subscription Site Valuations: How Much Is Your Online Business Really Worth?We have two top experts discussing how they determine valuations and what sorts of subscription properties are looking to be red hot for site buyers this year.
