Seeking Advice on Monetizing and Valuing My Smart Budgeting Blog

Hello everyone,

I’ve been working on a personal finance blog (Smart Budgeting Blog) for about 25 days. It's already showing some good results with traffic and SEO optimization. Before deciding whether to monetize or sell it, I’d love to get your feedback. Here are some details about the blog:

Key Features:

• SEO optimized (perfect 100/100 score)
  
  
• Fast performance (100/100 speed score)
  
  
• Solid traffic (100-200 daily visitors)
  
  
• 20 well-researched articles on budgeting strategies
  
  
• Monetization-ready (AdSense, affiliate links)
  

Can anyone give me an idea of how much this blog could be worth? And what do you think would be the best strategy for monetizing or selling it?

I’m looking for constructive feedback and your opinions on its value.

Thanks in advance!

 

What nonsense are you talking?
How can you claim 100-200 daily visits if your blog is only 25 days old?
What kind of scam are you trying to sell here?
There are tons of similar blogs on the internet; 80% of them are scams, and 20% are nonsense.
Go tell your stories somewhere else.

 

Thank you for your opinion. I understand that it might sound unbelievable that a new site already has 100-200 daily visits, but it’s entirely possible with proper promotion, SEO optimization, and quality content. In just 25 days, a site can accumulate a good amount of traffic, especially if you leverage social media, forums, and other platforms to increase visibility. Just because some websites fail or are scams, it doesn’t mean that every new site is like that.

As for my site, I’m not running any kind of scam - I’m working to build a quality online presence. If my approach doesn’t resonate with you, that’s totally fine, but there’s really no need to insult me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I’d rather seek advice from professionals who understand how digital marketing and web traffic actually work, not from those who make baseless assumptions.

 

I understand your concerns, but I would like to clarify a few key points.
First, as I mentioned before, my blog is new only 28 days old, and it has already achieved 3,200 pageviews in that time. This is not something that happens by chance. This growth is the result of proper SEO strategies and targeted keywords. So, in such a short period, this is already a significant success, which I was hoping to share with you. If this is surprising, it's because the blog is new, and one doesn't expect to get 100,000 visits overnight.
Additionally, this is a niche content blog, and while it may not have mass traffic, its value isn't solely based on traffic. The content is specific and targeted, and this means that the blog already has value, even without huge traffic. The blog is worth at least 100 euros, and that's a minimal estimate based on the niche market I’m addressing, which has its specific needs and a dedicated audience. Yes, this is a niche blog, so traffic isn't always measured in the same way as larger sites. But that doesn't mean the blog lacks value.
Regarding the theme, yes, it's simple, but it is 100% responsive. According to the stats, 1,000 visits from iPhone users is proof that the site is fully optimized for mobile devices. I don’t believe an outdated theme would get this much mobile traffic. The theme is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s unusable or from 2005. On the contrary, the minimalist design I chose is meant to provide clean and clear user experience, without too many distractions that come with excessive ads or a complicated design.
In reality, these comments about the outdated theme are pointless. If I add more ads and banners, it would look like a site from 2017, which is actually standard for many blogs today, and it can't be seen as negative. In the end, it’s content and SEO that truly create the blog’s value.
As for the sale of the blog, as I’ve already mentioned, the realistic price is between 80 and 150 euros, and that reflects the blog’s current value, considering its specific characteristics and niche content. This blog is not a massive website generating millions of visits, but within the niche it operates in, it is worth more than just the starting price.
I understand that you may have a different perspective, but I think it’s important to appreciate the specificities of niche blogs, as well as the growth that has already been achieved in such a short period. The blog is still in its growth phase, but it already has its value, not only through visits but also through the quality of content and the audience it attracts.
P.S.
I would also like to note that I have not insulted anyone, nor have I attacked anyone. However, I have been subjected to insults and negative comments about both myself and my site. I find it interesting that these actions have gone unpunished, while I'm the one being criticized for defending myself and explaining the value of my work.

 

You insulted me personally, insulted my profile, and made disrespectful and disparaging remarks about both. You even disparged my French heritage and did it in both French and English. Your nasty comments have since been removed. Nice attempt to try and play the victim card.

 

You're not insulting, you're trying to scam people into buying your site.
Other ones come here to ask for help and advice, you're here to scam.
And people on the internet don't like scammers like you.
If your site has good traffic, why sell it?
Monetize it - you're a financial guru, you should know how to make money from it.

Yes, a lot of traffic... for only 1 indexed post.

 

The last 24 hours have been very successful, thank you, Google.

 

The jealous clowns are at it again, lying, whining, and reporting. I just hope this isn't a communist forum that values conformity, since I still see their spam posts aren’t being removed from my thread. I’m looking for constructive suggestions, not for idiots and their opinions. I don’t go to their threads and bash them for their ridiculous websites, we, as designers, know better. This Mexican website looks like a children's picture book, but at least you have friends to reassure you that everything’s fine.

 

Don’t come to my thread anymore if you’re not respectful, unless you want to whine again. And if I’m spamming someone or doing something wrong, then let the forum admins delete my thread.

 

Please don’t mention yourself and the word “design” in the same sentence… you’re as far from a designer as the moon is to Earth.

So I take it this was a jab at me and my site, MexicanRoutes.com?
There’s nothing wrong with my site — my traffic is stable and real.
And the design is solid, Mexico is a vibrant, colorful country, and my site reflects that spirit.
If I ever need someone’s opinion about my design, I’ll ask someone else — someone more worthy than you.

I hope they won’t remove your thread — you’re an amusing scarecrow.

It’s amusing how many people from a "very native English speaking country" like Russia and China are googling in English to land on your blog, which only has one indexed post.
Oh, let me guess, you are a Russian brainwashed serf?

You went after me for being from France (racist posts since removed) now here you are going after another member for being from Mexico. I too hope that you don't get banned, but you are skating on thin ice.

 

I don’t think he was trying to insult me based on nationality, he just called the site "Mexican" because it’s about Mexico.
My design must have offended his "refined" sense of beauty, and he wanted to hit me.
And to top it off, he considers himself a designer - and even wrote "..we, as designers, know better…" lol
.

 

He attacked my profile as being childish and Windows 7 stuff and made disparaging remarks about it being done by a Frenchwoman. (posts since removed) There was no need at all to point out our nationalities and tie them in with anything.

 

Yes, I know.
What I meant was that when he called my site "Mexican", he wasn't referring to my nationality, but rather my design style on my website about México - MexicanRoutes.com.
BTW, on his own site, he has only 1 indexed post, and uses a free WP theme, and here he tells us about good traffic and his design "skills".
Lol
