    Default Selling my blog

    Hi guys,

    I've found that I no longer have the time to run a blog about WordPress and so I was thinking about selling it (wp-fun.co.uk) on to a good home.

    I currently have around 950 rss subscribers and, according to Woopra, get around 100-200 visits a day. These are around 80-90% new visitors.

    I've never really monetized it, aside from a couple of affiliate boxes, so I can't comment on the earning potential.

    If you'd like to put an offer to me please contact me at mail@arickmann.co.uk

    Thanks.

    Andrew

    Are the .co.uk domains limited to owners living or based in the UK?

    (I know the .ca ones are like that.)

    That's a shame.

    Not that I know of Andrea. I think .co.uk can be owned by anyone; although the registrar would need to support .co.uk domains.

    Sorry to hear you're selling Andrew. It was definitely one of the more interesting WP-related blogs out there. Good luck with the sale.

    Pretty sure anyone can own a .co.uk domain. It's not restricted like .ca, although I believe there is an ownership transfer fee involved with Nominet regardless of where the domain is currently registered.

    Sorry to see it go, Andrew; your blog was one of my favourite WordPress reads. You always had something interesting to say. I hope you make more money that you expect.

    I plan on buying it for a high price, then posting a single post saying I was the fool that did so (not that I would be) and then do nothing with it.

    Hope the sale goes great for you Andrew. As Ian stated, you sure had a great way of coming at topics from an interesting angle. Can't tell you how many times I read a post you wrote and wanted to write a response post on my own blog.

    Thanks for your kind words guys. I'm glad to have inspired thought.

    Jacob, if the price is right... OK maybe not.
