πŸ“– Story Time: I Bought a Blog for $250 and Automated It for Passive Income
So recently I was scrolling through Flippa β€” if you don’t know, it’s a marketplace where you can buy websites, SaaS tools, and all types of online businesses.
I came across a blog with 70 articles already published, and I thought:
β€œYou know what? I want to make some passive income, but I don’t feel like writing a ton of blog posts from scratch.”
So I bought it.
It cost me $250, which was more than I originally planned to spend, but it had solid content and a decent SEO foundation β€” it just needed a few tweaks. Here’s what I did:
πŸ”§ What I Set Up:
  • Hooked it up with AdSense and another ad platform for monetization
  • Created a Pinterest account to drive traffic
  • Used Make.com to automate everything
I built an automation that pulled all 70 blog posts and automatically uploaded them to Pinterest for more visibility.
Now whenever I post a new article, it gets pushed to Pinterest without me lifting a finger.
🧠 Why I Did It
Honestly, I wanted something I could learn from and earn from.
I knew I could grow this blog with automation and smart distribution β€” and the best part is now it’s running mostly on autopilot.
It’s already working for me while I sleep.
πŸ’¬ Curious β€” anyone else tried flipping blogs or automating content like this?
Let me know. I’ll drop the exact tools and Make.com setup I used if you want to try something similar.
