The folks over at SurvivalReader.com recently sent me this post on The Best Prep Nobody Talks About: Make a Survival Blog? and I realized that I recognized both sites.
In fact, I had some correspondence with the previous owner of PrepHappy.com quite a while back trying to help her get her blog going. Anyway, I have no idea why she bailed on the site but I can understand if she got frustrated or wasn’t making enough money.
I can honestly attest that running a blog is much more work than most people realize (other blog owners back me up here!) and most of us certainly don’t do it for the money. If I remember right, it was a good year or two of running this site before I could even consider it as more than just a hobby. Now, yes, it is more of a business these days but one I absolutely enjoy! Well, *most* of the time.
Anyway, I got to thinking that if they could get thousands of dollars at auction for their sites, maybe I could do significantly better?
It was briefly tempting let me tell ya’! Besides, it seems like everyone is doing the exact same thing these days… sharing content without actually creating any (I’m more and more guilty of this, I know) and even when people do create new content it often feels like I’ve seen it somewhere else. Maybe that’s just because I literally watch hundreds of blogs and have been at it for years. Who knows. So long as it’s “new for you” then that’s all that matters.
Of course, I’d like to think that I certainly could do better at auction but I can’t imagine selling out… ever, to be honest. After all, this site is “my baby” and I’d probably feel heartbroken watching what somebody else might do to it!
More importantly, I do feel like it’s my duty to provide you, the readers, with the most useful and up-to-date content I can find each and every day. And, yes, I do work EVERYDAY… but I do enjoy it and learn myself which was the whole reason why I started this blog in the first place.
All that aside, what do you think? What’s this site worth? 5K? 10K? More?? C’mon! Flatter me and I may just try to retire early. 😉
