Blogging For Money

I am no longer the owner of Bid Your Links, the bid directory has been transferred to the new owner’s server this morning and the transaction is almost completed. All is left is for the $$$ to be transferred to me. I feel a little sad to let it go but considering that the sale is worth USD1.5K, I suppose it is well worth it.

Now I am starting on a new bid directory project and I have instructed my web designer-coder to design a template for Bid Your Web. The name of the directory was suggested by my darling, so I decided to take that name. If you want to submit your websites or blogs to the new bid directory, you can do so. I will spend at least USD300 on promoting this directory, it will be bigger and better than the last one.

Never thought that I’d neglect blogging for so long but I have a reason for that. Still waiting the final outcome of the impending sale of my bid directory which the buyer has agreed to purchase at USD 1.5K. My intention was never to sell it but after consultation and receiving advice from many others in the industry, I decided to sell it and start a new one However, I will only start aggressive promotion of this bid directory once the sale goes through and I receive the $$$.

In other news, I’ve begun to discover the joy of selling sponsored links in WordPress themes (already making some $$$ from it) and bought the license for Mishre Directory to open its doors. I am focusing more on income from web directories and have yet to fully realise the potential of selling sponsored links in WP themes (although I have three themes on standby to be coded), I will touch on that later. To put it simply, however, I am no longer depending on blogging as my sole income source. I’d advise those of you who are serious about generating income online to never fully rely on one internet source for your moola needs. Try starting a web directory if you have a good domain name and server space to spare. You would need to spend for advertising but once the submissions start to come in, the rewards are enormous.
