Even bigger sites with pooled traffic have trouble bringing in cash.
He's costing Maven more money than revenue he brings in
I don't know what that means? What does Maven bring to the table exactly?
If the rumored numbers are to be believed, he gets around 30k each for the cowboys and Mavs mavens. Which depending on how much he has to pay the other writers that could start running thin pretty quick. But that's steady monthly income as long as the parent company stays solvent.
He couldn't get close to 60k running those sites independently with a focus on advertising and subscriptions. He'd need investors to make it viable
Small click ads on sites bring in barely any money. You need tons of views on long form ads like on YouTube to make anything. And those dont pay like they used to.
Seems like not enough money for the effort to manage a site and contributors to make it all work. Does Maven still have paid subscriptions for premium content or did that go away?
