Yeah heard this news, actually that guy started that as a hobby and to show his interest towards economy and banking aspects, and with time it became really huge, and hardwork pays for sure at last.
Yeah. I agree. The buyer was a bank, which means that it's not that bad of an investment to advertise their strategies. I wonder how much he was making monthly on ads before they bought.....? Hmmm
Wow this may have made my mind about a domain name and hosting I had sitting around and trying to figure out what to do with it. The finance niche is good if you know what you are talking about. I just have a hard time believing that with the type of traffic he was getting and the frequency of his posts that he received 15 million for this website. I guess when you are doing credit card deals that you get $200 a piece from and probably minimum 50 cents a click if you are getting decent traffic you can make some money. Steady traffic is hard to come by I hear in the finance niche.
Wow. Insane. 15 million. He can do a lot of things that can create more topic for him with that money...
Lucky boy but i am sure there are younger kid than that who sold even more than 15million but just didn't say how old they were.
That's cool. I heard about the news a few weeks ago and still feel very excited when I came across this thread. Let's hope we have another success story here on DP, and I hope that it will be ME next!
I think the bank might have hired that guy continuing blogging. or he might be starting a new one as well.
