Don’t worry, nothing really happened to Jason a.k.a. The University Kid just incase you guys were extremely worried. But it’s sad to say, The University Kid… dot com, will not be the same. Why? Well, Jason is finally selling his blog and already has it listed on Sitepoint (he even gives DatMoney a quick shout out! Though, it’s like “Where’s Waldo?” looking for it).
With all good things always comes an end. I’ve been reading TUK for quite sometime now, way before he even hit triple digit subscribers. Matter of fact, if you’ve been following his blog for as long as I have, you might have remembered he was offered $6,000 BIN for TUK in which he turned down.
Was he crazy? Yeah, a lot of people thought so. But obviously he proved to people that he is a true online entrepreneur because of all the knowledge he shared with his readers on making money on and offline. He made a name for himself at the A-list level and out of any MMO blog, he actually goes into detail to help people with proven tactics.
And get this; he never tried to make money off his readers. Well, maybe an occasional purchase of hosting for $0.01 or an eBook for cheap. But you can’t beat that, can you?
Let me ask you, has John Chow ever actually helped you make money online? Probably not. He might tell you about a new product or something you should try out that may or may not help you but that’s about it. Plus, he’s probably being paid to do a sponsored review on that product anyways. 
On top of that, TUK will more than likely double what it was offered before. I mean, he made close to $1,000 from that blog just last month with absolutely no promotion whatsoever! And if you purchase it at the BIN price, he’s also going to give you his popular Blog Premiere forum.
I know what you’re thinking… damn, Jay is freakin’ sucking up to TUK! Lol nah, not really. Just telling it how it is.
It’s a shame that we won’t have the luxury of reading the killer posts once Jason is gone, but who knows, maybe the new owner will actually be better.
Though, that almost never happens.
Anyways, check out this Blog Sale post and his auction at Sitepoint. Make sure you tell Jason that Jay of DatMoney.com referred you!
Oh, and don’t worry, he has a collaboration blog that will be just as helpful. 
This happens all the time. Jason did not promote his blog enough and if he did he could had have tons of success with it.
It’s really gonna suck to see Jason go, it would have grown ten times bigger if he’d given it more attention.

I really liked that blog he kept it real over there ..(like you do here)
.. let us know what hes up to next …
Man, I’m sad to see him go, he’s such a role model for us young bloggers. I’m really curious to see who will buy it. Protycoon got sold and then got bought up by Kevin Muldoon, and so in that case I think it worked better for us readers. Maybe Problogger will buy it lol, and then we can get twice as much good content.

Yeah, thats a great blog he has there, shame he is selling it. But things move on and hopefully the new owner will build on Jason’s great foundation.
You cant blame him really for selling it, $15K BIN seems a tidy profit
I agree with you Jay. Jason is a really good blogger and I have personally learned a few things from him too. However, there have been just wayyy too many MMO blogs that you won’t even know which strategies or tactics work. Only the blog owner could prove that the tactics work, while the followers may find it more difficult than explained.
I’m sorry, I just had to put a point out there. I wish Jason the best of luck and that BlogPremiere forum is going to boost that bid price

BTW who is John Chow.

The problem for me is, is not about he is promote his blog well or not. I just wonder can the new owner better and write next killer posts.

It’s smart move indeed. Starting another blog with Chris and sold “the brand” he has built upon. Yeah, you’re right. TUK will never be the same without Jason but who knows? johncow.com is better off since the change of ownership.

Kudos to Jason, He is really a smart guy.
TUK is priceless. The lessons in the blog are hardly found anywhere else.
Thats kinda sad.. Spent so much effort to build up the blog but had to sell it away..

Yan – Actually, I liked the old JohnCow.com better when it had the old owner blogging on it; it was just much more funnier and enjoyable to read.

It will be interesting to see if he gets over the 6k mark… not pacing well.

“5,000 visits and over 11,000 pageviews directly to the blog last month.
Around $500 – $1,000 in revenue monthly.”
500-1000$ with 5000 uniques a month? :O..i guess i need to change my monetization strategies.

It’s too bad……..TUK provides great posts/insight.
Interesting. There’s pros and cons to the idea of building up a blog to sell. Hopefully the new owner does a good job at meeting the expectations of the readers.
Looks like the first sale didn’t go through, maybe it’s a bad time to be sellling a blog.

Yes it will be sad to see TUK go away as I have followed this blog a bit and really enjoyed the information.
It will be interesting as well to see if the buyer keeps up with the quality or just tries to “ride along” on the reputation.
These blogs tend to be a very personalized thing (at least the good ones do).
