Another website sale
I mentioned yesterday that there had been some good business news.
Well, it’s the ol’ reliable selling of an ebook site that did the trick yet again. WordpressForProfits.com was an ebook website I made last week. I sold some copies of the ebook and made around $85 dollars in a few days, and since I didn’t have time to promote it anymore, decided to sell the site (with exclusive ebook rights) there and then. The starting bid was set to $100 and the BIN price at $500. Within an hour or two I had received the BIN price, giving me a nice $500 to boost this month’s income which has been fairly shit thus far due to time restraints with school and studying. The transaction was very smooth, I wish the new buyer all the best of luck with the site.
I’m beginning to hate this sort of income though to be honest. The whole selling ebooks and then selling the site is not a long term thing, and is pretty unreliable. If I had more time on my hands I’d try avoid this method and work on more long term income methods, but I simply don’t have time for that, and I have to settle for making quick cash to get by on. The reassuring thing is that I’m still making more money online than I was in my part-time job, which I gave up just before Christmas.
Now for something completely different. I recommend taking a look at William Montanaro’s new wordpress theme, which he actually made himself. Pretty impressive eh?
You may notice this post is coming a little earlier than usual for me, because I wasn’t in school today. I woke up this morning absolutely wrecked and given that I very rarely miss a day in school, decided I can have a break now and again. Had I gone in I seriously doubt I’d have been able pay any attention anyway. Though I must admit I’m worried that I’ll get into a habit of missing school, since today was so amazingly relaxing!
I’m considering putting a strict limit on my daily computer time so I don’t end up wasting too much of my day. Two hours a day sounds reasonable I think.
I’ve gotta go study for a french oral exam anyway, I’ve gotta learn enough to fill twelve minutes of conversation, which is a lot tougher than it sounds! A bientot!
