# Unlocking the Secret to Earning $250/Hour with Blogging

Chapter 1: Introduction to Blogging Profitability
Imagine being able to establish a blog in just two hours and selling it for $500—now that's an impressive hourly wage! In a recent post, I discussed a blog with subpar content that surprisingly sold for $500. After analyzing the approach taken, I realized that by following the method I'll outline below, you can achieve even greater success.
A Quick Background
In 2017, a domain name was registered. Fast forward to 2023, when someone began adding poorly constructed articles, primarily targeting specific keywords. Between these two points, the blog remained dormant and available for sale. Ultimately, this blog, known as Carnivore Coach (a .com domain), was sold for $500 in 2024. It featured only 17 posts, generated no revenue, and the owner had neither built an email list nor developed any additional assets.
Could you surpass this effort?
Certainly, and all within a few hours, without depending on AI, which typically lowers market value.
Chapter 2: Five Steps to Achieve a Lucrative Hourly Rate
Step 1: Identify a Trending Topic
The individual in question chose the carnivore diet as his focus.
Step 2: Acquire a Quality Aged .com Domain
Step 3: Obtain Hosting for One Month
Using NameCheap for both domain registration and hosting simplifies the transfer process to a buyer. You can easily hand over the domain and hosting details.
Step 4: Incorporate Quality PLR Content
PLR (Private Label Rights) content allows you to modify and fully profit from what you create. Ensure you purchase from a reputable writer who avoids AI-generated content. I provide PLR material on my platform, and you’re familiar with my writing style from Medium.
Step 5: List Your Blog for Sale
You can list your blog for prices ranging from free to several hundred dollars. While opting for a free listing might be tempting, it may lead to greater losses in potential revenue. A more effective option is to use a recognized platform like Flippa. When you create a site that currently has no income, it can be attractively priced.
Make sure to set a minimum price that covers your costs for the domain, hosting, and Flippa fees, which can lead to a sale that far exceeds what the previous owner of Carnivore Coach achieved.
