It seems blogs are the new real estate now. Problogger reports that personal finance blog Wealthy Blogger was just sold for $2000! See the actual auction post here. Dude. I actually never really visit Wealthy Blogger myself, solely because somehow the specific text style and size they chose shows up horribly on my old 17″ monitor, and really hurts my eyes. They seem like funny guys though.

I can certainly understand the former owners’ desires to get out of blogging and refocus on other things they like more (and make some money on the way out), but are blogs really able to be sold like that? How is the tone going stay the same? I mean, is reading a book by Warren Buffett the same as reading something by say, me? Or the guy that bought lunch with him?

As for myself, I don’t plan on going anywhere. I’m still having too much fun. And I think this blog is way too me-centric anyways. But hey, send me a bid. =)

    Haha, that’s awesome. I’m gonna stick to my blog though. Over time a website with decent traffic makes more than a one time deal of $2k.

    One thing I have learned over the last 10 or so months is that blogging is a lot of work! A blog that isn’t updated frequently will die quickly.

    Just thinking about their numbers, based on my level of revenues off my blog, it would take 3 years for a $2,000 investment to pay out. $2,000 would be a little steep for my blog.

    I think most of us write these blogs because we enjoy it and then realize we can make a little side money from it too…
