A couple months ago, I thought seriously about selling one of my blogs. The blog had decent traffic and yes, I enjoyed posting to it, but lets face it, with a book launch coming up, I’m strapped for time (big time).
I ended up not selling it.
Why?
The number one reason was that I didn’t know how.
Sure I could have done all the research but if I didn’t have time to blog, do you think I had time to do the research? Nope.
I’m not the only person in this busy boat. Talking to many bloggers, they mention that they’ve thought about selling their blogs. Talking to many aspiring bloggers, they muse about how much easier it would be to simply buy a blog.
Which leads to an opportunity. The blog transfer middle man. A head hunter for blogs. At the time, I would have happily paid a % of the purchase price to someone who could facilitate the transfer for me. Someone who could handle the details.
Yes, there are blog auction sites but I care about my readers. I don’t want to hand them over to someone who might mistreat them or worse. Its about more than the purchase price to me and blog auction sites don’t really handle that aspect.
Where there’s opportunity, there is usually profit.
