I just sold ideevintage.com for 3000 bucks. Now, I’m focusing on summer

Even a ‘failed’ business can be an asset.

Hey 👋, I’m Tanya Mimi and I share my entrepreneurial journey and unconventional ways I make money — pop your email below to ensure you receive my posts.

Look… if I had my way, free summers would be a birthright.

A glorious pause button for all of humanity.

No work. Just pure, unadulterated fun—popsicles, waterslides, festivals, campervan adventures, skinny dipping, airport lounges, and the Edinburgh Fringe.

Re-reading my favourite classic “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde. Tropea, Italy 2019.

Imagine beaches packed with accountants, parks full of lawyers, all just kicking back, soaking up the rays. Bliss.

Everyone deserves a break. Let robots and AI take over, thank you very much.

But we're conditioned, aren't we? We think we need permission to live a little.

We need a boss to give us the nod.

Bollocks to that.

You want freedom? Learn a skill. Ideally, an in-demand skill.

Skills give you options:

You can get a job, sell your skills as self-employed (and work seasonally if you like), or use those skills to start your own business.

This is what Slash Career is all about. Taking control. Building a work-life you want.

Even a ‘failed’ business can be an asset

Read here why ‘failed’ is in quotation marks.

Ideevintage.com didn't make me a fortune, but it taught me skills I can use in any business.

It also brought organic traffic.

It was getting about 500 monthly visits from people searching for “vintage Levis 501” and “vintage sundress” on Google.

So it was a sellable asset.

I knew that the organic traffic and backlinks (not revenue) had to be my selling points.

Buyers want traffic and backlinks because it means they don’t have to start from scratch. They are willing to buy established websites to avoid spending time and effort on SEO.

How did I come up with my valuation?
