I started a case study about a month and a half ago to try and revive a dead email list. This is an email list that has been collecting dust for a "Mom" blog that I own.

The site makes several thousand dollars every month from Ezoic display ads and Amazon associates. However, I wanted to see if I could monetize the email list that had been ignored for over a year.

My earnings since the project started?  $11.15!

Well, the numbers don't lie...I still have work to do.  Listen in to hear the update and plans moving forward.

Almost exactly a year ago, my partners and I launched Motion Invest as a new way to buy and sell content sites.

We've delivered on being a fast and easy way to buy or sell content sites.  Our original plan was to buy sites ourselves, so we would only buy sites that we felt strongly enough about to put money behind.

We still buy sites directly if you are looking for a quick, all-cash deal.

However, over time more and more people wanted to see if they could get a higher price on other marketplaces than what we were offering.  Rather than "lose" out on good sites, we recently turned Motion Invest into a true marketplace.

In other words, you can now list your site for sale on Motion Invest marketplace instead of selling the site directly to Motion Invest.

As a result, we have gotten an increase in listings...which is great news if you are looking to buy a site.

But today we want to shake up the website brokerage business for small content sites just a little bit more.
