Hi everyone and thanks for the comments. Sorry Natasha that I didn’t see your question until now. For those who are looking to buy a blog or website to run, here are three places with good reputations.
Flippa.com
Empire Flippers
Latonas

I used the last one when I sold one of my sites—something I said I was looking at in this interview. I sold it for 4X annual profits and many go for less than that. If you can make improvements and up the revenue, you could make your initial investment back pretty quickly. Worst case scenario four years if things stay flat, but try doing that with mutual funds or real estate!

I love reading Tim’s blog. Glad you featured him first. I’m working on monetizing my blog now and always looking for resources. Both of you have been so helpful without even knowing it. Thanks

I’m curious to know where one with capital would find online businesses for sale? Thanks!

In reply to Dave from Daves Travel Pages. Hi Dave, As you'll see in future profiles as well, multiple streams of income is a theme when it comes to making a living online. In my own experience, it's imperative, since things can change (with regards to advertising policies and how to monetize blogs for example), so it pays to have a few avenues of income in order to have more stability.

Always nice to read about someone who is in a position I would like to be in within a few years! I like the way he describes multiple streams of income, as opposed to relying on just one source.

This is a fascinating quick snapshot of the financial side of whom I consider a ‘household name’ in the digital nomad space — thanks so much for sharing! I definitely appreciate how he talks about patience and not taking undue financial risks just to get ‘freedom.’ Looking forward to future profiles for sure!
