Want to get bloggers “buzzing”? Sell your blog for big bucks. That’s what happened when John Wu sold his Bankaholic blog to Bankrate for a cool $15 Million.
Cath Lawson did the math and the 26 month old blog netted that blogger a cool $3348 per hour.
If you’ve been blogging for more than a few months, you may be wondering what makes the Bankaholic blog worth so much money. After all, the blog doesn’t get NEARLY the number of comments that Cath’s blog gets. There’s very little “community” on the blog – unlike on Cath’s blog, yet it’s raking in a record setting payday for the blog’s developer.
The key to the Bankaholic’s success is simple: KEYWORDS. The Bankaholic’s blog expertly targets the right keywords – the keywords a mega-site like Bankrate wants. If you’ve run a PPC campaign lately, you’ll see where the $15 Million dollar price tag for a blog that ranks well on highly sought after keywords might actually be considered a BARGAIN!
I love it when people “do the math”. SEO Diva did the math and showed how a $20,000 domain name can be a BARGAIN in the end.
The Bankaholic blog sale happened just as I was in the middle of doing a review for one of my 8 Week Power Blog Launch customers. Turns out, people want to fix their blogs in 30 minutes or less, not 8 weeks. (Mock Horror and Surprise!). So, as I was in the middle of creating this “Fast Blog Fix” report, the Bankaholic sale was announced. I put my 30 Minute system to the test and applied the principles to the Bankaholic blog. The results are revealed in “Fast Track to Blog Success”.
I’ll be offering this product for sale next week, and I’ll definitely be adding it as an “added bonus” for people who buy the 8 Week Power Blog Launch.
However, this week – until October 10th (Friday), you can get this report for free. Just use the code CathRocks and click the button below. This discount code will give you a 100% discount on this report.
I was going to email it to people who commented, but the file has lots of screen shots which makes it too big to send via email. So, I’ll be using e-junkie to give this away!
Click the button, enter the discount code and it will be yours for the taking. I’m sure you’ll find the analysis of the keywords used on the Bankaholic blog fascinating AND educational.
Of course, when it does go for sale – there will be an Affiliate Program so if you recommend the book to family, friends and blog readers you grab your piece of the action.
