Blogging for Bucks

Have you ever seen the website Flippa.com?  It’s awesome.

It’s an auction site similar to eBay but instead of buying and selling Ultra Rare Hello Kitty Cash Registers people buy and sell website and blogs.

Apparently there is an entire industry out there that consists of people buying and flipping blogs and websites.  Who knew?

When I started SuperBlogTime, I thought it would be a fun experiment to see if it was possible to make money through blogging.  My understanding was that people who made money blogging did it through ads or maybe affiliate marketing and more rarely through product sales.  Ok, maybe some people are making money that way but check this out.

On November 9, 2010, a site called unlockuriphonenow.com sold for $99,999!

I’m guessing someone wrote a little e-book about unlocking your iphone, built that site and BAM – $99,999 in the pocket!

Have you bought or sold a site on Flippa.com?  I’ve been tempted but never was able to make the leap. Did it work for you?
