Lightbulb Residual Income from Blog?
Does anyone have experience earning residual income from a blog, or perhaps a non-static website that they let die? Significant earnings, I mean.

I like working on this but I might run out of ideas of things to write about after a while. Or maybe I will just get tired of it.

Instead of letting a blog die someone who doesn't want to continue it can sell the blog.

Why not make it static anyway?

RSS feeds help lure in returning customers. And, it would take along time for me to build up a satisfactory static site. At least this way I can get immediate feedback on how its going.

Not sure what a non-static website is but I had a website MMAGoods.com that use to be totally automated and earned me $2K in profit each month. I only worked on the site for one hour a month.

I took it down when I was going through a rough period in my life and wish that I hadn't as by now it would have been doing stellar.

It is true, and blogs also get extra attention from search engines such as Google when you make a new post!

Tony, can't you replicate what you did before? Was it just an information site, or was it more of a networking platform?
