Build a simple WordPress blog in a specific niche (example: 'best espresso machines' or 'small dog breeds'), write 10-15 informational articles with affiliate links, and let it sit for 2-3 months to generate some traffic. Then list it on Flippa or Motion Invest. A site with a few hundred monthly visitors and $20-50/month in affiliate income can sell for $500-1,500. Buyers want proof of concept, not fully built businesses.
🚀 First Step
