What would you do with such business partner?
A year ago I went to full IM and started to generate money through creating niche sites & PPC campaigns.
At first, I was a bit doubtful because I had failed so hard in the past, google had penalized me, adwords banned me etc, but I really wanted to give another shot.
Me being scared, I quickly asked one guy (not friend, but I know him) to help me out. He had not much previous knowledge about IM, but he was pretty smart guy. I also needed few hundred dollars to get things going and he was kind enough to "invest" it to my projects.
I told him that we could split the money once we succeed. He helped me in linkbuilding, created graphics and made some content... But I had all the knowledge, and I even did more work than him. I think it was more like 20%(he) - 80%(me).
Time went past and our (more like mine) sites and campaigns started to skyrocket. We are currently making ~$20k, 10k goes for him, 10 goes for me.
BUT, I feel ******* bad about it. I might be too greedy, but I do believe he is not putting enough effort in it and he is not deserving it. From the past 1 year he haven't learned much by himself and seems he is not passionate about it (like I am).
In August I went to university and I told him that I don't have much time to write content, create links and manage adwords campaigns... I hesitated a bit, but I truly believed he will put some effort in it.
However, 2 months went past and he haven't done much... Maybe answered few e-mails, wrote 1 blog post and that's basically IT... When I told him that he should do this and that he kindly said "yes, I'll do that, no prob , I'm more than happy to help you, just tell me what I need to do".
But the thing is, he is not doing actually anything. He wants to get an office and work with me, but I more comfortable working at home since I don't have much time because of the university. However, I could easily push 2-3 hours a day for IM from home, but he ... well he's not doing much. I even created a project for him and told that he could take 80% of it if starts taking steps - but he haven't done nothing, lol.
I don't know if he is lazy or just don't have time or he is just not passionate about it, but I'm about to throw him out.
What would you suggest me to do in this kind of situation?
Right now I'm planning to sell all the sites and campaigns and start from scratch - and this time alone.
