Blogs = Sellouts : Bloggers = Authority

17 August 2008 - By Ahson Rafiq - Filled in Blogging

I wanna make one point clear here, since theres alot of hate going on around lately about bloggers selling their blogs for some quick cash. So do not take this in any offense at all (to all my readers and any one who loves this blog).

Blogs are made to be sold.

We are here to make money online, so yea even I will sell this blog at some point.

Blogs aren’t what defines authority, it’s the author. ie, Me or you.

Now that my points are clear, lets get on with the subject, alot of big blogs that people really love got sold, specially the whole WP Designer incident, even John Cow (even though I had my share of bad things to say about him), I gotta respect the guy for flipping the blog for some big chunk o’ cash ( $50,000 ). To be honest it wasn’t worth all that but still it was pretty good. And my due congrats to the founder of John Cow for the big sale.

Just like that one day I might sell out as well, but I’ll still be blogging else where, you can always buy out a blog but never the blogger (unless they sign a non-compete contract, which I never will). I still have loads to teach all you webmasters out there as I learn them, I don’t consider myself as a mogul or anything, I’m still learning to earn big, I started with 10c/day I ended up with xxx/day, so that’s what I preach about here, but it never ends now does it?

It’s never enough, so until I’m doing things you can’t do I’ll be online blogging about things, teaching whatever I learn myself ( that’s a big commitment in my opinion, because I’m a normal kid here, If I can do it, you can sure as hell do it as well! ).

Just remember, if you sell out your main blog, that you worked so hard on with all the networking, link building or whatever, it doesn’t mean you’re done for, you did it once and you can sure as hell do it again.

Here’s to all the bloggers capable to sell their blogs at high prices :D

    I agree with what you said especially make money blogs. I mean we blog to make money so why not sell it for a big chunk of money?

  4. Urban Fashion Says:

    But, if you start a blog that’s based on your every life and experiences, strictly personal….would you sell it then…it would be like selling a part of yourself, wouldn’t it?

  5. Technology Tips Says:

    well, most of bloggers thinks.. even if they sell out their website (for quick cash), they will start another blog and use the previous experience and sure it will build up a more valuable website.
