Create public project, have a contact-form/email somewhere on the website, if someone is interested in buying it, they'll reach out to you and you discuss the details. Isn't much more magic than that :)

And also finding your niche idea, that also solves a real world problem and is interesting enough for someone to acquire. Generate enough visibility.

I'd argue there is some kind of magic here.

How do you get any visitors to begin with? By posting it on HN?

"Show HN" (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) is a great way of getting a general (but very techy) group of people to try it out and give feedback.

Otherwise, if you're solving a specific problem in a niche, start hanging out wherever those people hang out, participate in the community and share your solution if it's applicable to the discussion. Make sure not to spam/self-promote a lot though, as it comes off as really tacky in most places.

Or share it with friends and coworkers, write an article about it, write good texts on the website itself so that search engines can pick it up, etc. pp.

Solve a problem and people will probably find your site.

IG reels, TT

You would have to have enough followers though, don't you? So that begs the question: where did you get so many followers from? :P

no, that's not how the algos work anymore. they test content with a couple hundred viewers, and push out further based on engagement. even if you have followers, it won't push content to them if it doesn't engage the initial test audiences (whether followers or not).

this is part of why many now pay creators to start new accounts to post viral organic content rather than to their existing followers.

when you find a video format that works for your product, you can create many accounts (or pay people to do so) and keep posting the winning formula

I've sold through Acquire.com, Flippa, and also had people reach out to me directly

Would you be ok with giving a range of selling prices?

Sure, Highest was $8,000 and lowest $250. Total so far is a bit over $35k. Thinking of adding the prices to the page soon.

Thank you for sharing and congrats.

Microacquistions maybe? I haven't looked much into it and I don't want to link to a random $$$ website, so instead here's the subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/microacquisitions

well looking at the list of projects and seeing the site `ZeroAcquire` there it looks like he asked himself the same question and sold the solution

Haha yeah, I guess I built the problem and then sold the fix. Didn’t plan it that way, but it worked out.
