Reason Not To Give Up On Your Blog

Or maybe 95,000 reasons. If you need inspiration for keeping on keeping on with your blog, then you must read "When You Don't Know What To Do, Say A Prayer and Buy The Book" Gayla McCord sold her blog for $95,000.00!

I have heard of people selling their blogs for years. Here is a snippet from the article: "As I read about selling blogs, I realized I was sitting on some fairly nice, prime online real estate and I was going to take a shot at selling one of them. I followed the plan as described by Darren and Chris and composed the perfect pitch. Once I was comfortable with the wording and presentation, I emailed the proposal to seven people/companies who would likely have interest in my particular niche. With a quick prayer and a click of my mouse, the wish was released and the waiting began.

Within 2 days the first bid came in at $75,000 and by the end of the week, I agreed to accept a bid of $95,000. June 14th I signed my letter of intent to sell and the rest is history."

I just love reading something like that!

The book she is referring to is: ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income

And to quote Gayla, buy two, one for you and I to give away. What a perfect Christmas gift!
