Blog On Bank Rate/Credit Card Review Sold For USD15 Millions
Heard of “Bankaholic.com“? Bankaholic.com, a blog/financial portal provides consumers with up to date bank rates, credit card reviews, insurance quotes, and personal finance tips, was just acquired by BankRate for USD15 millions. I’m not going to leave any news link here. Just do a search in Google, you can find various sites have published news regarding this acquisition. Or, you can drop by John Chow or Probogger, both of them have published their entries on this as well.
So, can we make money from blogging? Yes, if you are good, if you are what readers seek after, if you provide what people want. Will this happen in Singapore/Malaysia? Hmmmm, don’t know. Most blogs in this region are more on personal sharing, entertainment, or ranting, ect. As for niche blogs, I seldom see blogs focus on areas other than IT, Make Money, Finance, Politics, and those hardly impress me……
