It’s No Joke Anymore. I’m Selling TW3O!
Posted by Mike | Filed under MiscellaneousYep, you read it right. It’s for sale!
Okay, guys and gals. I’m serious now. I’m really selling this blog because of the following reasons:
- I want to have more time to spend on my academics once I’m back to school. I really wanna beat the hell out of my competitors. I’m dead serious! I’m gonna achieve my “offline world” goal.
- I have other online projects to implement. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not selling this blog to have more time for my other projects. As I said, I need the time for my academics. My other online projects don’t require much attention, maybe only a few minutes a day.
- I’ve been obsessed with this blog. I cared for it too much that I spent (still spending, actually) around 4 hours a day to check stats, delete spam comments, and the like. 4 hours that I could’ve used to exercise my brain and be academically better!
I’ve planned to do this way back (since before I posted my silly April Fools’ joke), but I didn’t. Why? I dunno, I enjoyed writing so much. So much that it actually ate up most of my time and my academic standings were actually affected. So there. I’m selling it because I need more time. That’s it. It’s not that I wouldn’t want to write and entertain you guys anymore. It’s just that I need to set my priorities to attain greater heights.
What about the current contest?
It’s already Apr. 15, and I don’t think this would be sold too early. I’m picking the winner on Apr. 20 and I’ll announce it the following day. In case someone buys the blog before the 20th, then I’d have to pick the winner before I turnover the blog. It’s that simple. 
Current Auction Stats
I have listed this over at SitePoint.
I hope to sell this blog as soon as possible so I could have more time to study in advance. 
You can still keep in touch with me, you know!
Hey. I’m not leaving for good. I might start another blog, but there’s a high chance that it wouldn’t be an internet marketing blog. I just couldn’t get enough of internet marketing and webmaster-related stuff, thus I tend to spend time in writing about my IM/webmaster experiences (meaning the purpose of the sale would not be met if I would create another IM blog).
I also have several future projects (and one of them is a blog, but it wouldn’t require as much attention as TW3O). Watch out for them, people. 
How? Well… just e-mail me.
If you would just like to keep in touch, you can message me via the contact form wait, no, the contact form would obviously go with the sale. 
Well, I guess you just have to e-mail me!

For one last time, you spammers better get outta here! Everyone’s welcome to send their comments or whatever, just don’t send me spammy stuff — if you do, I promise that it’ll go straight to the junk bin.
Man!!
Now going to lose a good blogger, and miss you blogging!
Good luck with the sale and studies.
Btw, blogging has always ruined my education, and am into dentistry but didn’t ever think about leaving the blogosphere.
It sure is hard to leave, but I had to make a wise decision (at least I think it’s wise) to have a better and brighter future. Don’t worry though, I’ll still be around to check forums (including yours).
Hehe good to know that, you will be still there!
Yeah, and I’ll try to get the best owner to continue what I have started. I wouldn’t want this to end up like CashQuests. Hell no.
Even though I’m not much of a commenter (except when there are contests, hehehe….), I follow your posts, Jug!
The same thing I say as I did on April’s fool, I hope the new owner blogs at least as good as you did!
Wow, thanks Louis.
But sadly I have to part with my blog. Ugh… yeah, I’ll try my best to sell this to an experienced person.
If I were you I would not sell it. I can still post more rarely and keep it. And you can still make some money out of it. I do not see selling as a solution.
Is this for real, Juggler?
I was starting to enjoy your blog! 
However, I do agree that it’s better to focus on your studies than on your blog. In the end you’ll be glad.
Hope to see you around soon!
Yes, Ikki. It’s for real this time. Don’t worry, if the new owner allows, I’ll guest post.
So now is not a joke (I have made sure that no newer post after this one
)…You’re really going to leave this blog ?…Jug, don’t sell it. We can understand if you make fewer post and share your time for academic…
don’t worry he’ll allow
Jane: I dunno, but I’m an incoming 3rd year (that’s Grade 10) student… A slight mistake in something (as far as grades are concerned) will highly affect my standings. I can’t allow that to happen, especially because a percentage of the grades will be considered to know who’s gonna be the valedictorian during the next year (4th year/Grade 11).
Yeah I understand…When I was a student I always wanted to get the best performance at school. School comes only once at our life, so it deserved to be fighted for. I wish you success with your next plan both in business and academic. Just make several nice post as long as you have the time before the new owner comes
…Btw, so surprise that you are very young. You’ve made many great post.
Jane: Thanks for that. I didn’t expect that I could come up with “great posts” when I started this blog.
I’ll try to write some more posts, I’m busy ’cause of the auction.

Damn, just two days back I was thinking that this guy writes real good and nice to have acquaintances like you around. I wish you could continue writing on this blog, but anyways.
Wish you all the best for your blog!
I am happy that I started my blog when I am in a job, and need not to worry about studies. I am now almost a part time webmaster with responsibility of many blogs and websites, so it’s really difficult for me to get out of it when I am already making more than 2000 USDs per month. But yes, I am planning to give lesser time than I give now, to focus more on some other responsibilities.

David: I just had to do it. Academics are more important.
Sometime we just have to make a crucial decision to leave something we love. Wish you all the best Jug, do let us know if you will be launching a new blog in future. Frankly, you’re a good blogger.
Yeah, I’ll let you know. My friends and I will launch a blog soon, but it’s not going to be a blog that needs a lot of time such as this.
Go here if you’re interested in it. It won’t have any posts related to internet marketing though. I just need a break from that topic…
Our new blog/site will be launched in late April or maybe early May (more likely). Do subscribe if you’re interested.
Thanks for the support guys. Darn it, I’m gonna miss you guys.
Jug, I definitely understand your decision and I hope it works out well for you. You’re a great guy and a great blogger, and I wish you the best with your academics and other projects! I’ve also thought about selling my blog before, but not sure if I could go through with it. What else would I do online? Also, I’d hate to have all my monthly revenue from it go out the window all at once. But you’ve certainly given me a lot to think about. Good luck!

Hmm… looks like the bid went better than expected - hitting way past the expected value of the blog. Congrats on the deal.
Any info on how to bid? Or about purchase information? Is is already sold?
Great site you’ve got here and I’ve been following along for some time now.
Best of luck.
Rod: It’s sold already, we’re just waiting for the domain transfer to be done.
