I’m thinking more of general websites or blogs. For instance this blog is about money. For the most part that all I deal with here. I wonder if I could hire writers on other topics and monetize the website enough to create decent cashflow.

I am also interested in hearing more about your ideas for investing in websites as MoneyEnergy mentioned. Are you talking about creating niche sites or something else? I am always looking for ways to diversify my passive income portfolio.

Like the article, I’ve been considering the problems of “plateaus” lately myself. I also agree with many of your concerns about the time, effort and money involved. If you’re barely breaking even, it might almost defeat the energy expended (excepting other altruistic reasons for any investment of time or money). I’m interested to know more about buying and selling websites. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

I would think there would be some opportunities to franchise the brand and/or become an editor. Home repair and auto repair would seem to be at least tangentially related to finance, since they can have a big impact on finances. Perhaps even lining up experts from a few different area. This will minimize the writing for each individual person (some people don’t like to write a lot) while still getting a steady stream of articles.

btw, have you gone through the trademark process?
