Side Income Idea 3
Just when I was running short of side income ideas, I drop by this rather interesting blog One Man’s Goal by Bryan Clark, not the famous Bryan Clark of Copyblogger. But I reckon that this Bryan, will be just as well known if not already on the way to be well known.
I came across Bryan’s blog when I signed up for Blogmastermind last year. Due to other commitments, I wasn’t as diligent as Bryan. Goes to show sometimes, when you are not desperate enough, you are probably not that focus. Anyway, how diligent was Bryan?
I put in 12 hour days the first month 7 days a week to get my blog to a respectable level!
Although making money by blogging is quite a common side income nowadays, what’s interesting is that Bryan sold his blog for $ 8,500 to help pay bills. The interesting part is that later on, he bought the blog back! For a lower price! Not that any sabotage like that. Just that the new owner did not have the time so the traffic and revenue dropped.
What’s the lesson here? From Bryan’s perspective, is like short selling in the stock exchange. Made money from the deal. From the second owner’s perspective. If you don’t have the time or the passion in something, you’ll probably end up losing money.
What do you think about this buying and selling as a side income?

Thanks for the mention!
What’s my opinion of the short sale of OMG? I’m for it!
As far as selling blogs in general, if you are good at it (I’m getting there), you can make quite a bit of money. This is the first month EVER that I’ve broken 6k in internet earnings. And I’m still new to this… just do your due diligence!
Thumbs up to you man. Glad that you are making in online. I might also take up you offer as a guest blogger on you site.
