Poker Blog Sold For $1,500

by Deneil Merritt on August 2, 2010

Today I started off in a really good mood. I felt so good I took $1,000 off the asking price of the poker blog for sale in the thread I was running. I then contacted 4 people that was looking to buy it and 2 of them got back to me really fast. I am proud to say that one of my readers/favorite bloggers bought the blog for $1,500.

Here’s a short back story behind that blog. When I first started making money online back in 2007 I was getting paid to signup for stuff and write articles for others. This one offer paid out a lot for this signup so I did it. I didn’t get credit for the signup which sucks and I was out of $92. So I had this domain and hosting for a year and I had no idea what to do with it. So for about 4 or 5 months I totally forgot about it and kept doing what made me the most money which was writing articles. Shity articles but hey for the price I was paid you wouldn’t waste too much time writing them either.

Fast forward in time a bit I have it as one the make money online blogs that is really growing readership. So I thought to myself if the blog is going to be popular I want my name to be known and blogging with the domain of your own name gives you a lot of room to blog about whatever comes to your mind. So I bought this domain and turn kushmoney into my personal poker blog since that is all I was blogging about at that time.

Fast forward to now, I have sold my baby. The very first site I have ever own. The new owner has told me what he plans to do with it so I feel its in good hands. :) Thanks a lot for buying it. If you didn’t who knows what someone else would have done with it.

Do not worry, I treat each and every one of my websites as if they were sprung from my very own love nuts. Some may be a little more troublesome than others but they are all loved.

Kushmoney has gone to a very good home.

It is a really difficult decision to decide to sell a blog, especially if you treat them like I do (like my baby).

I have only sold one blog and I missed it terribly and was really happy when the new owner realised he couldn’t handle running it and wanted to sell it, I got it back at a much lower price than I received for it. :P
