Blog Purchase – Arianna Danielle
Right after I told myself I wasn't going to purchase any more blogs this year, I stumbled across Arianna Danielle. A blog all about woman in tech, university life, and London living. And to be fair, I didn't purchase it, at least not for a while.
I first came across AD around early June, it was listed for $1,800. This was a rather good price for the amount of unique content it had and the traffic it was getting. It was only when I hopped onto a webinar and they were doing a flash sale for $999 that I caved it purchased it.
These were the selling points:
- 70+ unique long-form articles
- 700+ Pinterest followers
- 1.5k+ monthly unique visitors
- 68 email subscribers
- 5 “free download” digital products
Price paid: $999
The Downside
This is a fantastic blog with great content, however the website is ariannadanielle.com, which is a personal brand name. I'm all for building blogs, but I don't feel comfortable doing them under someone else's name. Seems like very low key identity theft haha. Thankfully this domain only has a DA of 8, so I'm not loosing much by updating the name. At this moment in time I'm not 100% sure on what I'm changing it to though.
The Plan
Maybe it's baby brain, or just poor planning, but I'm not too sure what I'm doing with this website yet. It's doing quite well by itself so my initial reaction is not to split it up and sell off parts.
What I've done so far:
- Connect up Ezoic so it's earning ad revenue
- Link Amazon associate products to it
What's next:
- Change the domain
- SEO blog posts
- New website design so it's easier to navigate and more appealing
