At least once a week I get an email from a reader who wants to sell one or more of his domain names. He then asks me if I am interested in purchasing them myself, or if I know a good marketplace where he can sell them. The problem? The domains people want to sell are worthless most of the time.

Have You Been Using Your Brain Lately?
on Aug 30, 2011

You probably agree that being able to identify where the Internet and technology in general are moving is one of the most profitable skills one can have, right?

They say everything has a price. This is particularly true on the web. In the last 10 years we have seen internet monsters like Skype, PayPal and MySpace change hands. The majority of low to mid level blogs tend to sell on the auction website Flippa. The good news for bloggers is that compared to other types of websites, blogs seem to sell for a very good price. This is not a reason to sell your blog, just something to bear in mind if you have thought about selling yours.
