If you’ve just started blogging, you may never have thought in terms of SELLING your blog. Yes, your blog has value. And more value than you think.

I’m shocked for how little some blogs go for on the blog sales sites and forums, because many are worth much more than the pittance for which they’re sold.

Specifically, a blog’s traffic is very valuable. If you try to buy traffic for your blog, you soon see that it’s expensive. So, if you have traffic, that adds to the blog’s value.

What Buyers Of Websites Are Looking For says:

“Traffic - Site was getting about 15,000 unique visitors per month at time of purchase (about 180,000 visits per year). If we were to start a new site in the make money online niche and PAY for traffic via Google Adwords, our cost would be about $0.40 per click being conservative, probably much higher because it’s a competitive niche.Let’s run the numbers…180,000 visitors times $0.40 per click = $72,000! Wow, so by purchasing this website, we are getting over $70,000 worth of traffic for free. That’s pretty valuable stuff. Still think this site is worth $15k like the ‘formula’ says?”

The article above is the best analysis I’ve ever read of how to value a blog, or a site. Read it.

Are you using advertising on your blog?

If so, you’ll be interested in Techcrunch’s report that Technorati is launching a new blog advertising network.

Technorati To Launch Blogger Advertising Network reports:

“Technorati will certainly be competing head to head with FM, although sources say they’ll focus on the long tail of the market as well (FM only takes larger sites). The network will be a self-serve exchange for bloggers (and other publishers) as well as advertisers. Ad units will include both display and text ads, and will allow units to be charged on both a CPM and CPC basis. This self-service model looks a lot more like Adbrite than Glam or FM.”

Imagine… $1,000 A Week For Just Ten Hours

You can get paid to blog. The current rate for experienced bloggers is around $1,000 to $1500 a week for from two to five posts a day - VERY nice writing income.

The technology site ZDNet has developed a new healthcare blog site.

From the blog:

The goal here is to cover the waterfront of IT in healthcare. We’re talking hospital systems, medical office systems, the networks and payment systems which link them together, as well as client gear, including gear used in the home.

I’ve been acquainted with ZDNet since the early 1990s, and even wrote for them for a short period.

ZDNet’s developed several consumer and business IT blogs, and their venture into healthcare IT initially surprised me, although it shouldn’t have. Consumer and business IT is so ubiquitous now that there’s precious little news in it - how many times can you whine about Microsoft Vista or CRM software, after all? So ZDNet feels that healthcare IT is an up and coming niche.

You can apply this thinking to your own blog(s) too.

If there’s a hot topic in your niche, consider developing a new blog to cover it.

Nothing stands still: look around you, and consider extending your blogging into new niches if your current niche seems less newsy than it has been.
