Is there money in selling Blogs?

    For whatever reasons, perhaps you have too many blogs and you just don't have time for them all. Would it be worth selling them on sites like Flippa? I know that the price would greatly depend on the analytics of the blog, and the niche it is focused towards. But on average, would it be worth the time to sell a blog?

    There certainly is money in selling them.

    Obviously depends on content, niche involved, present earnings ( if any), future earning potential and amount of work to be put in.

    There's money in selling just about anything if it has value to someone. I'm not sure I would get into Flipping Blogs as a business model, but I would certainly try and make something off of the ones that I already have if I was no longer interested in running them

    Can't tell you how successful you'll be, the market has kind of calmed down to normal since 3 years ago when people were just buying anything that had the word "blog" on it.
    But bottom line, if it makes money or fits what someone is looking for, then it is worth money. Finding a buyer is hard, but people do it all of the time.

    I agree! As long as your blog has some potential, you can definitely sell them. You can actually earn with selling blogs, but there's a lot of factor to consider.

    It really depends on what you want in return. What do you consider "Good Money"? There are plenty of people setting up sites and selling them on Flippa and making a living out of it, but it's not a get rick quick scheme, they work hard for their money.

    If you want to find out how what your blogs are worth, try taking a look at the Just Sold section on Flippa and find some blogs with similar traffic, PR and revenue.

    I think if you can make some blogs and get them to pr3+ you could flip them with no problem. Consider though the time ad effort to do this. If your spending 20 hours getting backlinks and seeting the blog up you would need to sell the blog for at least $200 i would hope.

    Might be worthwhile buying a link package if those really would work...

    Earning money by selling your blog is not easy. Number one factor that needs to be consider is finding your client. If you're lucky enough, you'll find someone who's willing to pay for your work. The point is, make your blog worth buying.

    It depends if the blog is well developed, how many visitors see it and other factors.

    You can earn money through selling blogs if your blogs have already traffic, good content, strong popularity.

    Selling a ready-made blog of course. But if you already have an established one, why not make the most out of it. Who knows, you might be selling something that's worth more in the long run.

    selling a site is not that easy, and on selling at flippa is not easy more, because it can collect all the data by itself, like stats copies, etc.

    So, you must need high establishment.
