A question for my blog readers - Have you ever been approached by any person who is interested in buying your blog?  Have you ever thought of selling your blog and if yes then what really made you think on the same? And if not then why shouldn’t you be selling your blog ? Eventually money has to come anyway, either your carry on your blogging with a hope to see people visiting in huge numbers on your blog and being kind enough to click on your ads or affiliate links which eventually keeps money pouring in. This surely doesn’t happen overnight and instead requires continuous involvement, dedication and commitment to pursue your blogging goals. It may take a year or two to see those results and when it happens, nothing looks more satisfying then. Well, I am still to reach that satisfaction level but anyways, what if I had sold this blog.

Believe me, I have never ever thought of the same till date but I was in a kind of indecision a week back. I was actually made to consider my blog for a sale to an unknown person. Yes, the proof of the same can be found below in the image - 
Email inquiry for blog sale
Its been almost 5 years of blogging and there have been advices, recommendations and suggestions coming to carry on with the same and to add to it, I am currently into niche blogging as some of my very good friends wanted me to move from personal blogging to the niche blogging. Honestly, it was never ever easy to go for the same but I think I have managed it very well eventually. Anyways, niche blogging can also be termed as problogging or professional blogging where the main motive is to make money online. Though I am not completely into this money making mindset yet it is very hard to resist when you see others making hay while the sun shines. Personally, I do not find it wrong by any means after all it isn't about stealing other's money. It is complete knowledge sharing which if liked and compensated well...is a big plus..!

Now, as I said earlier...I was approached to sell my blog. It was truly one of the most shocking things to happen in due course of my blogging. Initially, I decided not to look any further into the same and simply refuse the proposal but honestly, I was in a bit of indecision over the same. The only thing which was making difference - MONEY. As you can clearly see in the above image, the person had promised me to pay a lumpsum cash in exchange of my blog. Money can make things go in your favor...maybe he had thought this and very rightly too. I was finding myself helpless and eventually made up my mind to sell this blog to him. Can you believe it ????

To complete the whole process few mails were exchanged and to take a final decision on the same, the person wanted me to fill some details on his site online form. The details to be filled were my blog statistics and related analytics. It was not easy but still I managed to fill all those details as required. Now, I was waiting for the climax and I was a bit nervous yet quite positive with the same. But this was very short-lived and the reason can be seen in the image below -

Sale Rejection Email
Well, all’s well that end’s well. Surely it was not the same with my case. However, I couldn’t regret much on the same as it was never ever going to happen anyways. Why would anyone buy a blog which doesn’t even fulfill the basic requirements? I was very honest with whatever details I had shared in the online form and if I hadn’t done the same and had decided to fill some misleading details then could things have gone in my favor...I don’t know...maybe yes..!! This blog was rejected because this blog doesn’t make $300/month. Interestingly, if I were to make so much from my blog then do I really need to consider my blog for the sale? Honestly, not..! I think it would have been my foolishness but anyways there were some obvious reasons to consider my blog for sale  -
  • Blogging has become hectic these days and it is never easy to keep it fresh and updated so often and again.
  • Lack of time has made it really difficult to blog as I was able to do it 2 years back when I was more enthusiastic and free for the same.
  • Money from sale could have been used to launch some other blog on some other or the same niche.
hmm...just few simple reasons.  What say ?? Did I made the right decision to consider my blog for the sale ? Was I being too money-minded ? Did you had ever thought of me being into such indecision?

Please do share your thoughts...!
