The Best Of Blogtrepreneur In 2007
Here at Blogtrepreneur, posting has been pretty sporadic. I know I’ve said in the past that bloggers should never apologize for their lack of regular posting, however I feel that I must say sorry for the way things have been around here.
Since the beginning of October 2007, there have only been 15 articles for you to read (some of them weren’t even written by me) and as a result, I’ve seen traffic numbers fall and RSS numbers have also decreased a tiny bit. The main reason for the lack of posting, was the fact that I appeared to be selling the site.
So, Is The Site Sold?
Well after a month and a half, the site is still with me and has not been sold to anyone. There were a few reasons for this. Firstly, I encountered many non-serious buyers, who shot me the one-off email in the hope that I was selling the site for $3k. Secondly, my traffic levels were (and still are) really low in comparison to what they were a few months back, and this put people off quite a bit. And finally, most of the potential buyers generally thought that I had put too big a price on the site.
However, I wasn’t prepared to sell for anything under $9,000 as it turned out.
What’s Next
These Christmas Holidays, I’ve had quite a think through about where I want Blogtrepreneur to be in 2008. Many of these ideas will be heard in my next post about my goals for this year, however, to let you guys know, I will continue to press on with the site as far as I know (and there could be other plans for me around the corner which I have no control over).
Therefore, I urge everyone to get subscribed back to my RSS feed (if you decided to go for a little wander) as Blogtrepreneur is going big in 2008!
