Creating a successful blog or website is the ultimate goal of many of the folks who follow me on YouTube and elsewhere. And it’s a great goal to have because once you’re able to do this, you’re able to officially be your own boss and do your own thing. I’ve personally been able to build a whole portfolio of successful websites. But in 2020, for the first time ever, I made the decision to finally sell a blog I owned and it was able to make me an additional $17,000 in revenue.
Today I want to take the time to explain a little bit about my experience selling the site. I’ll give you a little background about the site, tell you how I created it, and ultimately explain why I made the decision to sell it and I’ll show all of the analytics as well.
