Roald has a ton of experience and is generous with his wisdom, so I am always respectful of what juice he adds too.
Ok, with traffic in mind, I guess these are the questions I would be raising:
1. The best part of a tube can be the seo, but you seemed to be reluctant to deal with that aspect in a previous post. However, without a well executed seo strategy on the tube then you would be neglecting a key advantage to doing it in the first place imo. Are you considering that?
2. The traffic management of a tube is a very numbers driven and labor intensive endeavor, and you and I both know how time consuming just managing our partner accounts traffic can be. I would factor that in and double the projection based on the ramp up of learning curve to attain even a modest return. In other words, it is going to probably lose money for the first few months (if you are lucky it will not be longer), take your attention away from your core competencies, and strain production and customer services while you develop it. It is going to be a major investment to get going, Are you prepared to make that time, energy, cash commitment just to eventually find that $500 per week hopefully?
3. I seriously think some of the people posting "go for it" want you to just to see you fail and falter. Have you weighed that possibility?
