Let me start with a question – How diversified your investment is? You might have invested in stocks, in bonds, in savings account and funds. Some of you even invested in real estate properties. But, that’s not all. Probably 100 other type of investment options are out there. Basically buying and anything that can appreciate in value over the time, can be called an investment. So buying a piece of art is an investment. Buying a rare wine is an investment.

Similarly, there’s another class of investment, investing in web properties or websites. You don’t have to start a site from scratch, you buy sites that are already profitable. When I started this blog, I started this site from start. I bought the domain name and now slowly this is becoming a brand. One Cent at a Time is growing in terms of valuation. I am now in a position to sell this site for a very good amount. How much I invested, just $100. But I did put in a lot of sweat equity in it over the last 4 years.
