Advice from 95 percent of the people on here is pointless, why? Because most of them dont have big solo sites, so their opinion is solely based on their experiences with small sites.

The best way to split it depends on the success of the website and what you are confident in the site making, i dont know why anyone would answer differently.

If you do a partnership, you need it to be big enough to give her a split that keeps her happy and around. Most models are only happy with enough to get by without having to work a real job. Or close to that

Saying 25 percent and then you end up making less, 25 percent of 1000 isn't much, though 25 percent of 5000 is alot better. see what im saying? it all comes down to what the site earns. you should be able to predict this, if you cannot, then i predict you have not done enough research.

If you predict smaller than the amount that allows her to do this full time, pay her outright, she'll be happy because she sees her money quickly (even if its less) and you aren't going anywhere so you can take your time profiting on it.

If she'll be around for years, a partnership would work better. (most are not, you better be damn sure shes in that very tiny percent)

And Standaman, if you were looking for information on such a topic, how come the top people in that market were not contacted? (i know the couple others and we talk daily so im sure they would have said, standaman hit me up today so im confident you didn't hit them up either). Seems you would only get information from one side, the least successful side too.

If you ever want to talk about that side of your business, hit me up

Oh and i feel like i must include, this niche is alot tougher than what most might think, im 99 percent sure that you would fair better partnering with one of the remaining successful programs and getting a smaller percent of alot more income. Thats my two cents anyway and i dont think most would disagree
