Dormant organic blog value
I have a hosting client that wants to earn a few dollars per day off of 10 blogs. He is hesitant to pursue blogging for income as he said the technical stuff (setup wordpress, publishing and writing to the blog, monitoring analytics etc.. is beyond him) basically he wants to pay someone I recommended to him $50 per site for a unique affiliate blog similar to what Verena has been offering in WSO.
Again I stress, he will not touch the blog, it will be totally organic.The blog designer suggested to me that I, as the hosting provider, offer him a 180 day money back guarantee and if he is not happy with his revenue I give him $50 to buy the site/s back from him.
From the hosting side I would like likely lose money if the blogs are not doing well and I would have to fork over $500 total. What I want to know is with an organic site and domain that is 6 months old already, could I get a return on my $500 loss during months 6-12 or should I laugh it off?
I am not a blogger or into marketing so I don't know but I would imagine the hardest time to make money is months 0-6, wouldn't months 6-12 be a lot easier if I just freshen the content up? It sounds like I should say yes and try it out or could I lose my money completely? What do you think?
