This blog is sold part II
By admin | Related entries in UncategorizedI want to thank Jeremy and Mike for the smooth transaction.
Yes I bought a blog! Why on earth would somebody buy a blog?
The answer is simple: it’s called a return on investment. Where better to prove this then here ? 
Many of you now will think: what’s next.?
My plan is to keep the Wealthy blogger alive. On a personal level I am more interested in how to keep
my earned money (tax related) then credit cards and investment tips.
If I blog about credit cards it will only be about anonymous South American cards.
Recently one of our European Employees moved to Panama (our headquarters). Obviously this person
had a million questions and at one point in time he said to me: you should open a little ‘how to’ site.
When I noticed this site for sale I figured it would be a nice match.
I plan on using this blog as a starting point to built a few sites related to offshore tax structures, moving to
other countries etc.
Long story short for now: I will try to blog at least once a week about our adventures with banks,
working in South America, how to move to a tax-friendly country, dealing with all international aspects
including those damn taxes and the mistakes we make/made. How you can blog from the beach
at zero percent tax rate and many more exciting items.
Once more Mike & Jeremy thanks for the help so far. We might experience a few technical glitches
the next couple of weeks as we move the site to our servers.
Fabian

14 days with a stale old post up here. Wow, you really spent $4,000 to lose all this readership within the first month?
Total return on investment year to date -$4,000 - foregone interest -many readers.

No longer coming back…too bad because this use to be a nice place.

I’m disappointed because I enjoyed reading Jeremy’s articles, having his participation in the personal finance blogosphere, and, what could’ve been with this blog especially with all the “press” it received after being sold. That could’ve been leveraged into something good… someone dropped the ball big time.
September 9th, 2005 at 5:29 am
Oh yeah, and the last million comments on this site that aren’t for this post… it’s all comment spam.
September 9th, 2005 at 6:48 am
I will be reading it from now on.
Greetings from Sweden!

Congratulations on your purchase and best of luck.
If you plan on writing, I suggest you learn the difference between the words ‘then’ and ‘than.’ It will make the reading more useful.
Cheers,

My apologies to everyone that this didn’t work out. This is an active web company that bought it, and the expectation was that they would not only continue the WB tradition, but also expand on it.
Obviously that isn’t happening. Again, my apologies.

I hope you all give the blog a chance and see if new content comes, it does take time to get things settled in and be ready to write.
September 14th, 2005 at 7:00 am
Ditto ditto — too bad you decided to start devaluing this blog immediately by ignoring it. And Mike, it may take time to get settled, but I’m no financial guru, and *I* could at least post something modestly useful in a three-week period, if I was serious. Great job on getting some $$$ out of this, guys — fool and his money, apparently, and all that.
September 16th, 2005 at 11:02 pm
It hasn’t been a month yet - we’ll see what happens. At least I can read the font now.
September 28th, 2005 at 10:30 pm
Good luck and thanks for the inspiration!
September 29th, 2005 at 7:21 pm
Hmmm… Editing out comments about buying a blog for two grand and burying… Obviously someone is reading. Too bad they’re not writing.
October 8th, 2005 at 1:05 pm
I considered purchasing this blog when it was offered for sale and decided to check back today to see how it is going. Very suprised to see that there have been no articles posted in so long. Anyways good luck to the new owner.
October 15th, 2005 at 3:07 am
A shame to see a good blog disappear like this. $2000 down the drain…
October 18th, 2005 at 3:50 pm
I wonder if the buyers just intended to buy the blog and live off the current adsense revenue? I would think eventually that was trickle down into nothingness…
October 25th, 2005 at 2:03 pm
Yes, im sure they are living the sweet life on some island somewhere as the adsense revenue rolls in from this stale, unfurnished basement of a website.
October 25th, 2005 at 6:11 pm
I miss this site - god knows why I keep it subscribed in my RSS feeds. So long WB! I’m buh-leeting you!
I go here alot more anyway: http://myfavoritebrunette.blogspot.com/

*crickets chirping*
November 3rd, 2005 at 2:10 pm
Wow! What is going on with this website? I thought the new owner was going to update it, no?
Does anyone know the owners e-mail address I’d like to take over this blog and allow my contributors to provide new fresh content for it.
