Pros
The publisher position offers lots of flexibility. You can work around your family's schedule and do it from home. It also allows you to be out and about in your local community, building relationships.
Cons
The ramp up time to build a site from scratch is at least 3 months. By the time you have enough subscribers to finally sell an advertisement it could easily be 2 or 3 additional months. That's 5-6 months and hundreds of hours at ZERO pay. The estimate that I was given about salary was $25-30K for 25 hours each week -- I've been working for a year now and this salary is still way out of reach, like basically unobtainable. I would love to know how many publishers are making anywhere near this salary range. My guess is maybe the top 5%, if that, are making this much. There are many vacant sites and lots of turn-over. It's understandable that this company appeals to stay at home moms, but it's beginning to feel almost criminal to have us working so hard for very little to no pay and no benefits. Can you imagine a workforce of men agreeing to so many hours for such little pay?
