Anyway again i think it's a good starting point for somebody to become your partner, and over time, as you both gain confidence on each other, to become a full 50% partnership, where one partner shoots the content and creates the sites, and the other manages/grows traffic and work on sales/marketing. If well done, sound like the perfect team.

Yep. Which I have no issue at all with in that regard for members. However, some concerns raised in those who have contacted me are long term they want to be paid. So for example, let's say 5 years down the line they want to leave the industry. They still want to be paid on services rendered. So that linking is the only way to keep track.
Otherwise, you have to structure some kind of end at the deal. Like lump sum. In this economy, the odds of selling off a site... especially bigger budget sites... has become a waiting game. They will eventually sell like all do. However, you tend to have to wait 90-180 days for the serious buyers, and those to make payment. Which can be a point of frustration.
Yep. It is a sweet offer for someone who truly knows the traffic side and wants to invest in a niche company who has content that actually converts consistently. Both on pay sites, and clip stores. The low labor costs is a huge key as the profit margins are a very nice incentive. Especially should expansion play into things down the line. I am in a college town, and strategically located for never ending applicants.
I am sure, in time, the solution will present it's self.
