Why Are So Many Bloggers Selling Their Blogs?
In the past few weeks we have seen some fairly high profile blog sales, at least in the make money online niche, including -
- BloggingFingers.com ($6,000)
- CashQuests.com ($15,000)
- OneMansGoal.com ($8,500)
- Blogtrepreneur.com (Not Sold Yet – Predicted low five figures)
If I had the writing resources available to me I would have loved to have snapped up all these blogs to create quite a nice make money online network, but that would simple be beyond my capabilities to manage at this time.
Blogging Fingers was the first to tip the scale, gathering attention from plenty of other blogs about the sale. This in turn led to the other sales, which haven’t quite garnered as much attention but that certainly hasn’t harmed the final selling price and I think therein lies one of the main motivations for this spurt of blog sales – the money is good.
I’ve been in personal contact with a few of the people behind these sales and I think it’s safe to say for every blog listed above, the main reason for selling is “personal reasons” of some kind, which to me means there are other projects they would like to move on to, they have grown tired of writing to their blog or something a bit more serious has forced them into the sale.
