Optimizing your Blog to Sale
Every week I get the opportunity to sit in on a round table discussion at my golf club with a number of attorneys. Since I am not an attorney they look to be to provide the group with comic relief and to make sure their discussions do not get off out into LaLaLand.
They also look to me to provide their group with insight on what the heck is going on in the Internet. They truly all would like to come online but over 90% of them find the Internet not fitting to their professional image. I can agree with them since the vast majority of the Internet is still reminiscent to the Old Wild West.
However, they do like providing me info on issues related to things happening with the Internet and the companies that do business online. For that I am very grateful since their association has keep me out of hitting some of the landmine’s the scammers online set for anyone online.
During a recent session one of my legal beagle friends offered me an article they found in their trade magazine written by one of their associate Ryan Roberts of TheStartUpLawyer.com. In this article Mr Roberts wrote on
How To Optimize Your Blog Sale.
Ryan brings up a number of things to keep in mind if you get the opportunity to sell your blog site.
What I found most interesting is people are selling their blog sites to large blogs site that cover what they are blogging about. Mr Roberts’ suggestion of working the deal to stay on as a feature blogger could be a lucrative way of making addition revenue from the sale.
After my annual trot around the Internet reviewing golf sites I was shocked to find so many very good bloggers abandoning their blog sites. It is a shame since I am sure if those bloggers knew there is a market for selling their blog site they may have hung in there. However, most of the blogs sites I saw lying on the side of the information highway needed to be put out of their misery…so it was probably best they died.
But, for those of you who are blogging and getting things together drawing in traffic, maybe one day Mr Roberts advice could serve you purpose. Check it out.
