Buying Blogs

Thanks, yes thats what I have been trying unsuccessfully in the past hence why i am buying blogs to host on my own domains that are already built, full of keywords, links, content etc. Just wondering who has had some success with these pre built blogs/sites?

I am getting the niche related ones.

Some people build blogs specifically to sell them. I've made money buying brand new start up blogs when I had extra cash. They don't have to be currently making money to make it in the future.

The simple answer is: for a lump sum of money.

People's businesses evolve over time and it is common to sell off various aspects of it as you go along.

Selling a blog that is making money so you can move onto something else is no different to selling a car that runs just great so you can upgrade to your next vehicle.

I have built up a number of profitable websites, moved onto other areas in my business and hence sold the sites to people who have gone on to do very well out of them.

To continue with the car sale analogy, the trick to buying is understanding what you're looking at. If you buy a lemon it isn't going to take you anywhere. But if you know how to pick a good investment you can get very good mileage out of a quality website.

That said, it may serve you to build your experience in IM before making any significant investment in existing sites, so that you have a good eye for valuation.

At the same time, if you plan to build a site to target a specific niche and you can find a ready made blog that fits your purpose, you can get a good start that will save you a lot of setup time.

You should look at cheap sites as a starting point and have a proper plan to move on, as you would with any business.

If you make a good choice, buying sites can absolutely be profitable, as long as you know what to do with them.

Don't expect much for $20. You'll get something that isn't unique, and it's probably not going to rank without an extreme amount of work getting backlinks. It's more work to get backlinks to a site with articles that aren't unique than it is to just build a blog yourself, imo.
