How and why I sold Get Rich Slowly
When I started Get Rich Slowly â on 15 April 2006 â it made very little money. It earned a few pennies per day. Slowly, the income grew. A few pennies per day turned into a few dollars per day, and that turned into tens of dollars per day. Eventually I was making enough money from this site that I could quit my day job to blog full time. The last time I mentioned my income on GRS, I wrote that I was making $5,000 a month. That was in November of 2007, I think. Then my wife, my lawyer, and my accountant all asked me to stop writing about my income. When that holy trinity speaks in unison, you listen, right?
The more I worked on this site, the more the income increased. I won’t say how much I was making, but if you read Crystal’s guest post from earlier this month, you can make some educated guesses.
As Get Rich Slowly grew, one of the curious side effects was that people began to make offers to buy the site. I always ignored those offers.
