The only short term upside I can think of, is this might help him do some tax write-offs.
Also, get to the core of his reasoning before jumping in. Is he really looking to make money or is he just fulfilling a fantasy? Make sure you are approaching the project from the correct point of view.
Good luck!

I totally get it. He wants money, and to fulfill a fantasy. I told him that there is no quick way to make the money, hell I even told him I am not to fond of the idea. I am doing my research, and so far I am leaning towards making just enough profit to keep him happy until this new found whim passes.
I have talked down from wanting to make scrooge mcduck money to understanding that there will be little profit to start if any for a while. So if I can manage to break even until he forgets this inane endevour I might keep my job. So like I was saying maybe a clipstore? or even just do a tubesite and bank on advertising?
