No doubt blogging is a very hood wah to make money from the Internet there many ways by which you can make money from blogging apart from applying for Google AdSense there are many companies which pays bloggers just to advertise their products on their blog sprt from that many people who wants their products to be known to a large number of people pay bloggers to put up the advertisement of their products on their blog thereby making blogging one of the best ways to make money from the internet which Many people want to go to without knoeing thst the more you look the less you see.

I have seen posts of many people on social media saying that they want yo sell their blog why is this?? Many people just go into blogging because of money which is wrong blogging is not a get rich quick which means in other for you to gain something out of your blog you must hsve been on it for at least 6 months to a year but people just crate blogs post some contents and start looking for ways to get AdSense approval when they dint get it which means they cant make money from their blog they won't be able to keep up with the monthly hosting and domain payment which will make the blog be like a burden to them and they will just esnt to sell it . what do you think is the cause for people selling their blogs??

Selling a blog can be a two way thing, people might decide to sell their blog because it has grown to the point that they can't manage it or they might decide to sell it because they can't grow it at all, the latter is more popular than the former because of many reasons.

People get into blogging for different reasons, which encompasses the get rich quick mentality, maybe they heard someone made it big in blogging and then boom, they just go and start a blog because it's cheap and doesn't require any technical know how.

What these set of people fail to realise is the months and years of hard work it took the other guy before the blog became successful, and also the amount of sacrifices he did just to get there.

The process is completely ignored and only the results matters.

Another good point is a low entry barrier, blog is dirt easy to start, you can start one in less than an hour with below $100, so every Tom, Dick and Harry can launch a blog, this makes the competition stiff and value preposition low, because most of them are probably copying the same contents with nothing tangible to offer to readers.

There are a lot of reasons why people sell their blogs. First and foremost, it's usually because they want to do something else. They may have grown bored with the blog, or they may have found something else that interests them more. Sometimes it's because the blogger is looking for a way to make money from their passion, and selling a blog is one way to do that. Many bloggers sell their blogs because they feel like they're on the verge of something bigger: perhaps they want to move into another area within blogging, or maybe they want to pursue another career entirely.

Another reason people sell their blogs is because they don't have time to maintain it anymore. Maybe they started a business, had children, got married, or moved across the country, and now they simply don't have the time to keep up with their blog's upkeep. Selling their blog might be the most efficient way for them to pass it on to someone who can continue writing and posting content for the site. And some people just want cash in hand, plain and simple.

There are many reasons why people sell their blogs. Most people always have wrong perspective when it comes to blogging. The view is that we will be making money the moment we start the blogging but the reality is that we need to dedicate time and sacrifice a lot of things before we can be making money through blogging. And when the reality is dawned on them, they have no choice than to wish to sell their blogs.

Another reason why people may wish to sell their blogs may be because there is no much time for them to work on those blogs. There may be passion for the blogging truly for some people. But what can they do when there is no much time for them to spend on the blogging. This may be as a result of combining offline and online jobs together.

Others may decide to sell their blogs for the fact that they have run out of ideas. To be frank, being a good blogger requires much which may include intense research. When there is no much to write on or there is no more reliable and credible sources for the articles on the blog, there may be lost of interest and pressure to sell the blogs.
