        I speak from deep personal experience in this regard.

        It is a basis, imo, to look twice as hard at that individual.
        From what I have heard, Tam really had nothing to do with the scandal.....
        those decisions, were made by management, and not Tam.

        Tam, took the heat for it all...she was publicly available, because she ran the board...nothing more, and quit when she found out!!!

I have like 5 full time people now and quite honestly I can't handle more than that. I do not want to get a real office and have staff working there. I value the ability to be able to work in my underwear (which I really do) and the freedom of not having to really go to work. I do work long hours when I am not with my kids, that is not what bothers me. What bothers me is that I jsut have too much on my plate. I assign guys different jobs and responsibilities but still the shit I want done is not getting done fast enough.

                What I am thinking of doing is letting people with GOOD SOLID reputations resell my traffic. What I am afraid of first and foremost is someone hurting my reputation. But at this point if I want to continue growing what choice do I have? Do you think it would be wise of me to let people resell and I loose some control over my own system? Please discuss and share your opinions. My biggest fear is that letting other's take over some of my business will dilute my reputation and eventually my success. thoughts?

                        This may sound like a really stupid idea
                        but have you thought about starting a training site
                        you have built up thousands of tgps. You could easily put together a great tutorial to help a newbie create their own tgp.

                        Walk them thru the process step by step. allow the affiliate code links within chockertraffic.com to work so that existing gallery buyers can simply link to the tutorial and get the commission.

                        If you trained people on how to build up a successful tgp using your traffic, you would expand both your buyers and sellers at the same time.

                            Tell them what you want and make them account for any budget spending.
                            Let them outsource for what they need.
                            If they don't produce then demote them or fire them.
                            Put all the pressure on them and none on yourself.

                            It'll cost you a little more money but you will grow without headache and not even notice the increased spending since it will be offset by new profit.
                            Very smart suggestion your thinking is above and beyond.

                                Choker I dont really know you but I do know buisness and growing to fast can kill anything.
                                Your fucked really and only 2 choices expand or raise prices to lower your customer base.
                                I have tryed both and theres no cut and dry deal here
                                Lowering your customer base means more less shit the same profit.
                                Expanding means finding good workers ,again really hard.
                                Rock and hard place and no real answers from me.
                                trying to find the right person is really the only option for expansion.

                                    Be selective on who you let resell your traffic, but why let people resell?! Do you know they will able to? Is the market already deluted?

                                        Tom,

                                        My suggestion would be to setup distributor ships of choker traffic. Just like other business you have complete control of the selection process, can set strict guild lines, have price control, reward and promote your top performs, remove distributors accordingly.

                                        Basically you would start a wholesale division of choke traffic seller. I would just screen carefully and have them clearly state that they are an ?authorized distributors?. By having authorized distributors you would protect your reputation should one of your distributors do the wrong thing. Obviously you would setup some type of back end system (hosted on e5 ) that would allow you to immediately disengage a distributor should it be necessary.

                                        I think I would be easer to manage 5 good disturbers vs. manage 5/10 new employees.

                                        Regards,

                                        Anthony
