If you could create a blog in just 2 hours and sell it for $500, that would be a great amount of money earned per hour, don’t you think?
Yesterday, I wrote about a blog that had really bad content but still managed to sell for $500. I traced his process back and now I’m going to share the method with you. By following it, you could achieve even better results than him.
Sure, I can help you with that.
To begin, here are some key facts:
Someone registered a domain name in 2017.
In 2023, another person started adding poorly written content, primarily focusing on a few keywords. During the period between these two dates, the blog remained empty and inactive, with the intention of selling it.
The blog, named Carnivore Coach, with a .com domain, was eventually sold for $500 in 2024.
The blog only had 17 posts, generated no income, and the owner had neither built an email list nor added any valuable assets.
Can you improve on this?
Definitely! I can make improvements within a couple of hours without relying on AI, which tends to decrease the overall price.
5 Steps to A Generous Hourly Rate
Step #1: Choose a popular topic that is well-liked by many people.
The person in question decided to follow the carnivore diet.
Step #2: Select a good, aged domain name with the “.com” extension.
Although other domain extensions are available, “.com” is the most preferred. Opt for a short and easily recognizable name.
You can find expired domain names using this list: https://www.namejet.com/Pages/Downloads.aspx and filter through them using this software: https://domainpunch.com/domainfilter/. You don’t need the PRO version. Please note that this software only works on Windows. Mac users can find an alternative software or use the information on this page: https://kb.iu.edu/d/ahjj.
Step #3: Get hosting for one month.
If you use NameCheap for both the domain name and hosting, it becomes easier to transfer to a buyer. You can simply hand over the domain and all its contents.
Step #4: Add high-quality PLR content to the blog.
PLR stands for Private Label Rights, which means you can modify the content, make it your own, and keep 100% of the profits. Make sure to purchase PLR content from a trustworthy writer who doesn’t use AI. I personally write and sell PLR content on Medium, so you’re familiar with my writing style.
Step #5: List your blog for sale.
You can sell your blog for any price between free and several hundred dollars.
Although opting for the free route may seem enticing, it can result in lost revenue. It’s a better choice to use a reputable platform like Flippa.
When setting up a site that doesn’t generate income yet, the fees on Flippa are quite reasonable.
Remember to set a minimum price that covers your expenses for the domain, hosting, and Flippa fees. By doing so, you could potentially sell your blog for much more than the person behind the latest version of Carnivore Coach did.
