How much is your blog worth?

I’m not talking about the value of the site but, more important, the value of all the content you’ve diligently written for the past months or years? For many people, it’s like the MasterCard commercials: priceless.

I mean, can you put a value on the hours of work, the amazing amount of creativity and brain cycles that have been invested in pumping out blog posts? Personally, I have close to 10,000 posts from three blogs that are still active. To lose them would be devastating.

So, what’s it worth to back up all of that blog content?

VaultPress suggests that in an ideal world, it’s $15 to $40/month for a one blog. Despite the fact your blog content is invaluable, $15 to $40 seems expensive, especially that we live in a world in which paying nothing is par for the course. The question is how much would people really be willing to pay to back up their blog content. My sense is that maybe $5/month.
