People who blog full-time will tell you that it is not easy work. Producing quality content involves research, time, and creativity. Even famous authors such as Tom Clancy probably do not write every single day. Bloggers must. You may have found a way monetize your blog; maybe not. Either way, if you do have the drive to start making money, you can sell, or “flip” your blog, and still have some creative input into it – and let someone else (who is probably better at it) worry about all the maintenance, so that you concentrate on writing.
Blogs can often be sold for 1-2 years worth of what the blog would gross. In other words, you can make money from your blog during this time without as much work – or scrapping all of your hard work. Most often, the new blog purchaser is not interested in altering your core concept – although due to different interpretations they may request some minor [changes. However, the heart of your blog will {likely|normally|usually|almost always} remain intact. But what happens if you miss blogging? Well, investors will often jump at the chance to have you continue (while sharing the increased revenues!) In fact, they are usually hoping that you WILL stay, due to the simple fact that they don’t want to try out new writers, be faced with buying articles (which lowers their bottom line, or worst of all, write it themselves.
Think of it this way: don’t you get tired of the non-creative tasks, like marketing?. Instead of endlessly trying to find ways to advertise without breaking the bank, it may pay off in the long run to search for a buyer/investor who is willing to ”play ball” monetarily and take over these ”business-ey” tasks.
To maximize the sale price, it may be in your best interest to prepare your blog for resale (use the exit strategy!) Potential buyers often scout for blogs that have many long posts with lots of keywords, and still have a clearly-defined focus. If your blog caters to a popular niche, even better. Knowledge of your market can ramp up the sales price – as well as any product-driven monetizing. If you are currently making a profit from selling ebooks, sales negotiation is clearly in your court.
If you want to sell immediately, don’t fret about the remodeling. There are plenty of buyers in the game willing to look at a fixer-upper if the price is right. Most importantly, do your research. Look into what blogs similar to yours are currently going for. Be quick to respond to interested buyers and make your self highly available via email or social network sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. Ask questions and give lots of statistics. Explain to your potential investor what you wanted to do with your blog in the past but didn’t have time to do – ideas to improve growth will help them shorten the time they need to think about their next move.
In summary, one of the easiest methods in the long run to monetize your blog is to let someone else(who has the deep pockets and business acumen) take over any tasks you’d rather not spend your time on – such as promoting, designing, and marketing.
