Bankaholic.com Sells for 15 Million!

22 year old Johns Wu has sold his blog, Bankaholic.com, to Bankrate.com for $15 million. He is also being paid a handsome bonus to stay on as chief blogger for a year.

I really hope everybody out there who is starting to feel a little discouraged about the success of their blogging efforts can take this as a huge motivator. Blogging still works! :D

Congrats, Johns!

    Viral marketing, pure and simple.
    Bank Rate won’t own up to this, but it is the stark reality in the blogging world these days.
    Just like that online casino that was buying images on toast some years back….

    Oh, and somebody also jumped on the Blogger bandwagon while the iron was hot!

    I’m guessing from the fact that your username is linked to that blogspot that that someone was YOU, but I’m gonna let it go, because I actually think that’s kind of clever. :D
