Seven months ago I bought Upstart Blogger for $14,500. As of today this blog has generated an income level that has broken the $14,500 barrier.
Upstart Blogger is now bought and paid for.
It’s a big milestone for this blog and for me personally, and I’m thrilled to be able to share the news. The original plan was to recoup 100% of my investment in the first year. Recouping that investment in just seven months is cause for celebration, as I’m sure you’ll agree.
To get the celebration flowing I have a small but fitting giveaway for you to get your teeth into. The first person to leave a comment on this post will receive a free bottle of champagne.
Today the drinks are on me, for one of you at least!
Congratulations dude! $29,000 from one blog in your first year at the wheel is pretty spectacular!
Congratulations, Ashley! That is a lovely milestone.
I think you’ve done a great job keeping UB a good resource for blogging.
Free drinks… yeah!
Congrats on the milestone.. it’s well deserved!
Congratulations!
I hope Upstart Blogger remains a source of income. I’ve always enjoyed the content, and will always stick around!
To Upstart Blogger! Cheers.
Congratulations, Ashley. Cheers.
Congrats! That is quite the accomplishment!

Congratulations! (I don’t drink, so if I’m first please let the second commenter have the champagne.)
Probably not first, just remembered these comments are moderated! Good news on getting the investment back though, and keep up the good work!
Hey Ashley. Congrats on the success. That is really great :). I think I will step to the hosting you advertise, because my site is offline/online all the time. Most of the time offline.
Anyway, congrats dude! Btw, I don’t want the champange because I can’t drink it with you. I’m to far away ;)
Sorry for the re-comment. Too bad, I can’t sign up for ANhosting because I don’t have a creditcard. My money is on Paypal, but that doesn’t work. Do you know an alternative?
Congratulations, Ashley!
If I could make $14.50 on my site, I’d be happy. To recoup the purchase price and then some in the first year has got to feel fantastic.
Cheers!
