If the sites have consistent traffic, I'd highlight that before anything else because it's one of the first things buyers look at.
 
Some marketplaces only focus on established businesses, so smaller projects naturally fit better elsewhere.
 
Don't forget to include information about expenses, hosting costs, and how much maintenance the sites require each month.
 
I'd be cautious when dealing with buyers through social media. There are genuine buyers there, but there are also plenty of people who waste your time.
 
If your websites are in specialized niches, try reaching out to companies already operating in those industries. Strategic buyers sometimes pay more than marketplace buyers.
 
Be patient. Selling a website usually takes longer than selling a domain name, especially if buyers need time to verify the numbers.
 
If your websites already generate income, include proof from your analytics and monetization platforms. That will answer many buyer questions before they're even asked.
 
In my opinion, the best sale isn't always the fastest one. I'd rather wait a little longer for a serious buyer who understands the value of the website than accept a low offer just to sell it quickly.
 
I wouldn't worry too much if Website Closers or BizBuySell didn't accept your listings. Those platforms have their own requirements and tend to focus on certain types of businesses. There are plenty of other places where smaller or developing websites can still attract serious buyers.
 
Before deciding where to list them, I'd first identify why they were rejected. If it's because they don't meet revenue requirements, then a marketplace aimed at smaller websites would probably be a much better fit.
 
If your websites have consistent traffic, even without huge profits, make sure you highlight that. Many buyers are willing to purchase a site based on its potential rather than its current income.
 
One thing I've learned from buying websites is that transparency makes a huge difference. If a website still needs work, explain exactly what remains to be done instead of trying to make it look perfect.
