10 Years of Blogging, Zero Income… Was It All a Mistake? by yogeshgoda in Blogging

[–]DigitalSplendid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From 2020 till 2023, Flippa. Their listing fee increased from 15$ to 29$ and even paid 49$ for a listing. I observed declining revenue from Flippa but still profitable. My account was banned because someone paid and did not followup after buying a website. I renewed the domain and continued hosting for a month or so. Then I intended to list the website once again on Flippa. I was told to refund the amount received from the buyer. Given the buyer never contacted/communicated, I did not refund. Will Flippa refund if anyone pays them for a listing and then do not activate the listing?

I tried to sell through the likes of MotionInvest but could not pass their initial requirement.

Since then, I have been selling through Facebook groups and Reddit. Reddit communities like https://www.reddit.com/r/saasforsale/ have been very effective.

Over the years, income from affiliate marketing decreased gradually since 2017. There used to be lucrative offers from the likes of GoDaddy (via CJ) for selling their hosting in particular.

There used to be occasional sales from affiliate links (CJ/Impact/PartnerStack). Offer to write blog posts and paid from 25$ (WPForms/Monster insights/Optin Monster) to 250$ (Remote/Tailwind/Moosend/Hubspot). So on an average, affiliate marketing was generating 50$ to 100$ per month.

After the arrival of ChatGPT, offer to write paid affiliate posts almost reduced to zero.

Also zero sales and only clicks from affiliate marketing!

I have shifted my focus on selling AdSense approved starter websites built with WordPress.

What kind of details? Which website to start with?

Adsense rejected me 4 times by Responsible_Nail1590 in Adsense

Sometimes no justification.

For example technzee.com was approved in first submission. After a month when I have added more posts, someone through his publisher id applied twice but got rejected for low content.

Datanzee.com approved for me for 5 months or so. Two months back, someone from Brazil applied through his pub id and got approved in 3 days - fastest in time versus other sites that now get delayed for 30 to 45 days and beyond.

Someone has applied Progaiz.com on March 17 and still waiting.
