Hi everyone!
I am in the market to purchase another blog. If you are interested in selling one or know someone that is, feel free to email me at deacon@wellkeptwallet.com.
Thanks!

Flippa looks like a great resource. Thanks for the tip!

Careful with Flippa. Make sure you really investigate. You can get some good deals but I usually build sites based off of ideas I get from Flippa because I know I am not out to scam. Others however are.

Hi
Out of interest – how much are you willing to spend and what would your aim be in purchasing another person's blog?
Kind regards
Isaac

WLW,
Just some friendly advice, Yakezie is not really a good place to buy blogs (I, with a partner, own 9 or 10). The reason is that if the person is a member or challenger they are active and thus their pricing has more to do with either private advertising (which you may not be able to replicate, but may have to keep up due to their outstanding deals) or just pure love of their site – and you get RIDICULOUS asking prices. Like pricing so out of whack with reality that it makes the 2000 stock market look cheap.
Just trying to help out! Good luck out there,
Evan

I did notice some sites on their that look fishy. Like they bought the domain last month, threw some content up, and are now trying to sell them. I will be sure to investigate thoroughly. Thanks for the heads up Jai!

Hi Isaac, I am willing to spend whatever I think a site is worth in terms of the potential revenue it can produce. The reason that I am looking to buy another blog is to diversify. Right now most of my money comes from one site and since I am self employed, that is a dangerous situation in my eyes. If I could have two or three sites that are generating revenue, then if one goes down I still have others that are bringing in income.

Hey Evan!
That makes sense. I just figured that perhaps there were some people that read this forum who might be wanting to get out of the blog world, but I do agree with you that it is not the best place to find blogs for sale. I think Christopher's suggestion to go through Flippa looks like it will be my best route. I will use caution of course :)
Thanks,
Deacon

But potential revenue is surely linked to original content being delivered? So you buy the site AND buy the author, otherwise indexing and rankings will decrease as nothing new appears… so not aimed at someone who wants to sell up and leave the blogging world?
I have heard of blogs being sold, but the original author still contributes something to keep readership.

No need to keep the author as I will transition the site to a new staff writer who will write content and I will implement SEO to get organic traffic from search engines as well. I already have several sites that I am looking into that look promising. Thanks for your input!

Seems like buying and selling websites is big business. I never knew this, can someone basically build a niche site then turn around and sell it?

All the time:
- Buy a domain with decent keywords
- Get a template with some related stock art
- Put up a few posts (probably outsourced for about a penny a word) — or do the "autoblog" thing and it's even easier
- Get the site listed in the search engines
- Possibly get a few backlinks (this can be outsourced)
- Sell
- Rinse
- Repeat
Once you have a formula it probably takes only a few hours' work to get a salable site. That might be a high estimate.

Absolutely. I saw a site on flippa that I loved. I wanted to buy it but it sold for 11k. Way out of my budget. And it was only around for 5 months with a pr 4.
I then took that idea and found a niche similar to it and did an even better site.
The site has grown nicely in 100 plus days.
I won't consider selling it until there is a pr update but I got this site up and running in less than a week.
Today there are 19 articles and growing and just last week I had 66 organic searches. Needless to say I am very pleased with the growth.

Check out Sunil's Extra Money Blog (http://www.extramoneyblog.com). He writes a fair amount about niche sites and the tools that he uses.
