Bloggers sell their blogs for all sorts of reasons. For some, “flipping” a blog (the practice of creating a blog, with the sole intention of selling it) is just another source of income. For others, selling up is something they never really planned, it just happened.

There are plenty of places to sell your blog, but how do you know how much it’s worth? There are totally non-scientific methods, or there’s more scientific methods, like Yaro’s 5-times monthly income’ formula. Taking both of those methods, the Get Rich Project is wirth somewhere between $400 and $1700.

The thing is though, I doubt I would sell for that low a price. Especially not the $400, which would make the time I’ve put into this site worth about just a few cents an hour. What you have to remember is not only the “now” price, based only on current performance, but the potential for growth, if handled correctly. A blog is an investment, kind of like a house. If you do even just a little work to it, you could find the value rises quite substantially.

The bare minimum I would want in return for the Get Rich Project is somewhere between $2000-$2500. About £1000 in “real” (i.e. UK) money ;-). I base this not only on the price from the two sites above, but also the work I have put into the site, and another, final factor to remember - emotional attachment. I’ve put a lot of work into this site, and I’m proud of it. I’m not just going sell to the lowest bidder.

If you were to sell, what would you sell your blog for? Or could you never part company with your baby?
