If you’ve ever needed inspiration to keep blogging, just look at Johns Wu. This is a guy who sold his blog Bankaholic to BankRate.com for $15 million. He’s only 22 years old. Dreams can come true.
I conducted a little Q&A with him and posted it at WebProNews.
I’ve contacted him again, and should be writing a follow up article for WPN, which will look a little closer at how Wu achieved his success.
Stay tuned for that.
In the meantime, we’ve posted some more great video interviews with bloggers (like Darren Rowse and Jeremy Schoemaker to name a couple) on the WebProNews Video Blog. You’ll definitely want to watch those.
Update: Posted the article. Didn’t get a response from Rowse or another one from Wu yet, but it still looks at how authority and user engagement can be use to achieve success. I may still follow up yet again if I hear back from the others.

It is really a great blog. I am very new to blogging and I am sure this will help me a lot while creating a blog.
I would settle for something liek $25K for my blog
damn lucky blogger!
Cheers,

Where did the valuation come from? The quality of the blog or the catchy name – or both?
The purchase price of that site looks to be staying in the mind of anyone who hears about the deal. It is a large number in comparison to the assumptions as some would have of the value of a site. I think it is beneficial for the owners of the sites as a whole.
