Am I A Blog Broker?

In the last week, I have received 10 inquiries from people wanting me to sell their blog, valuate their blog, etc. While it’s certainly flattering, I have to be really, really honest.
I simply don’t have time to become a blog broker right now. It’s not that I’m afraid of it -I’ve been a salesman before, […]

The Mystery Blog

I was intending to wait to announce the mystery blog until the seller posted his view of the process, the whys and the wherefores and such. However, the time we’d agreed for him to post to has come and gone, and he’s in bed dead sleeping.
Once he posts his account, I’ll link to it (obviously), […]

Public Auction Cancelled

The public auction for the blog has been cancelled, because the private bids have reached a level where the public auction wasn’t necessary. We’ll be announcing what the blog is later today (about 1pm, EST), and we’ll be announcing the final price tomorrow (as today is the close of bidding).
In terms of who the winner […]

Auction Delayed

I just wanted to update everyone on the status of the sale and / or auction (mainly because I’ve received a half dozen emails asking when it would happen).
As I mentioned earlier, the auction for the anonymous blog would be delayed if we had serious offers, or letters of intent. We’ve received several of both, […]

Blog Bid Day

Today is the day we’re expecting to receive a handful of bids on the blog (see here and here for more info, if you missed this earlier).
Right now, I’ve had 2 people tell me they intend to make offers / bids today. Both were hopeful their offer would be high enough to avoid a public […]

Blog Sale Update

Just some additional info, in relation to the sale of this anonymous blog.
A Performancing commenter wonders if this is a hoax. No hoax. Not sure why I’d make up a hoax like this, but I assure you it’s no hoax. I spoke with the owner last night to confirm this. The plan is to accept […]

The 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint

I’ve had this bookmarked for ages. Might as well blog it so I can find it later.
From Guy Kawasaki comes the 10/20/30 rule of PowerPoint: a PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points.
In addition, here are the slides you need for an […]

MASSIVE Blog for Sale

I’m about to begin brokering what is likely to be the largest blog ever sold. As most people know, blogs are sold all the time. Most are somewhere in the top 10,000 blogs around, and they go for a couple of grand.
This is one of the defining blogs in the industry. When I go to […]

Yawn @ Apple

Between Google’s “big announcement” of Google Video + Google Pack, and Apple’s non-announcement’s this week at Macworld (yes, I watched the whole presentation), I’m incredibly surprised there hasn’t been a mass exodus of PC, Google and Mac users to something more exciting. Like Libyan Midget Volleyball.
I won’t recap Google’s yawn announcements, since everyone’s already done […]

I’m Voting Conservative

I’ve decided, after last night’s Leaders Debates to vote Conservative. It was a tough decision to come to overall. My current opinion of each of the parties is:
Liberal: My views most closely align with the Liberals. They have since I was a teenager. I’ve just never been able to vote Liberal, because they so rarely […]
