The Wealthy Blogger has been Sold
By Mike Hillyer | Related entries in IncomeAs the more observant of you may have noticed, posting on this site has slowed recently. I have recently found that I have become busier and busier with work and other web projects, and that has combined with a feeling that I have said my peace.
As you may know, I am not in the personal finance industry, I just have an interest in personal finance. I started this blog because I had some things I wanted to say, and I find blogs to be a good way to do that. The problem in this case is I found that my well was drying up, so to speak. I had covered the major topics I wanted to cover, and I have never been a good link blogger: when I write I would rather get in-depth, and in-depth writing takes time.
This was weighing on my mind last week when Jeremy contacted me on Skype and said he thought the same and believed he could get a good price for this blog if we sold it. Now I know Jeremy had previously sold (and re-purchased) his own blog, so I knew he could manage this kind of thing.
In fact, Jeremy managed it in less than 8 hours, fetching $2000 US in a buy-it-now style bid.
Don’t worry, now that I have free cash I am walking the talk and dropping my share directly onto debt, increasing my net worth and improving my FICO score like a good boy should.
In any case, I thank you for your readership and comments, it has been great interacting with all of you.
If you want to track me down you can find me at the following URLs:
www.openwin.org - My personal blog, technically oriented, has nice pictures.
www.kanatutor.com - A work in progress, teaching others how to write in Japanese.
www.recipewiki.org - A work in progress, hopefully a way to share recipes in a wiki format.
www.wealthywiki.com - The new home for my personal finance writing, a place where I can write in-depth stuff less frequently.
I have high hopes for the wikis, I think the wiki format has a lot of potential for providing a pool of information without the pressure of producing content on a regular basis.
I hope you treat the new author as well as you have treated me, and I hope the Wealthy Blogger continues to be a source of ideas, thoughts, and advice on personal finance. As the final M*A*S*H episode said, Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.

Congratulations! Best of luck with your new venture. How about one last post telling people how to create a blog and make money off of it? I’d be interested on your thoughts. Are you familiar with any other blog sales? All I see on ebay for sale are books about writing blogs.

Heh, blog sales are good fun. I’m thinking of doing more of them

I am going to mention this at my Blog Smart Resources site (on the blog of course). This is a newsworthy event to all who blog.

Hat’s off to you, dude! Much luck!

It’s fitting you made some cash out of this blog. I’ve enjoyed reading it and I’ll be keeping an eye on your wiki.
Thanks guys…

I guess that sets a standard of what a financial blog is worth. I’m sure it is of much interest to all the other financial bloggers out there.
