I have a website that was started more out of a passion for homeschooling than a real desire to make money. Still, the website has grown. I had 1000 references on a search in Google specifically for "The Healthy Homeschool," but I noticed that it has suddenly dropped down to 500 and something, but it's done that before and then jumps back up.
I do have some traffic, I get e-mails from people who are encouraged by our dyslexia story, and the website pays for itself by way of Google ads and on-line Usborne book sales and just a small (and I mean small) amount of Amazon sales. But it does not do much more than pay for itself consistently month after month.
That said, my one remaining homeschooler will graduate in a couple of years and my focus is changing. I am still passionate about homeschooling, but I would like to build a website about something else now.
I wondered if I should take the content of my current website and move it to a free site, but keep my domain name and reroute traffic to the free site. But I wonder if the change to free hosting could affect how Google sees the site? I may lose what traffic I already have and then what would be the point? Is a website like this worth selling? Should I try harder to market it? I have sort of lost my desire to do anything with it because so many of my interests now cannot be tagged onto a homeschooling website, I don't really want to pay for hosting for two websites, but I don't want to throw all this work away.
Any ideas? I am not even sure what I have said makes sense.
