Apparently the most common approach is to trade for Bitcoin on an exchange and then exchange that for dollars.

That used to be the most common before moolah, kraken, vault of satoshi, etc. came along.

Can confirm.

Kraken is eventually going to enable me to convert it directly into USD, but it still has some regulatory hoops to go through in California at least.
