            you should start a cam site to support your outsourcing.

                i don't actually outsource people overseas, i just pay different people for different things

                munki - extremely well priced and does my nats integration and other shit like that, a jack of all trades - highly recommend

                decrypted - does my php and members area code etc - also priced great

                and woj i'm about to try soon and have heard only great things about his coding too

                      I made my first million using Frontpage (still can't write html) and I will NEVER change from Frontpage now on principle... not that I do much of that anyway.

                      I couldn't code even Basic to save my life (To me, PHP is a bad halucinogenic from the 60's)

                      I can BARELY crop an image in Photoshop.

                      I struggle with VB tags on boards.

                      BUT I KNOW BUSINESS and I KNOW the theory.

                      And I have a great team.

                      And here I am.

                      I love this business.

                        It's not necessary really, I don't know html or photoshop but still make a very good living doing this full-time with just galleries.

                        Basically all u need to know is how to use a wysiwyg editor, know how to get traffic and most important know how to convert traffic.

                        lots of people make great graphics and can code but can't sell worth shit.

                        it's all about knowing how to sell and talk to the surfer. Whenever you need graphics just higher a designer.

                        Who cares if the html code is not perfect, as long as u get traffic and get lots of sign ups that's all that counts.

                          I'd get a lot more done if I didn't know anything.. unfortunately, I do pretty much everything myself.
                          ..and I'm off.

                                I came inot this business 3 years ago not knowing HTML, Design, Photoshop.. ads, ANYTHING.

                                All I could do was load an Arlse gallery into frontpage, add a couple text links like "more of me here" and upload.

                                That was the extent of my knowledge.

                                Now I can code html, css, do photoshop pretty good, build galleries from scratch, do SEO friendly text links that pull clicks, paragraphs etc etc etc etc.

                                I'm still learning, always will be learning. The day you cease to learn anything new is the day you're skills start getting stale.

                                  Sometimes it's best to outsource everything if you're maina spect is 'business' and content work but there will be a day when someone your ely on won't be around anymore and you'll be stuck.

                                  Learn what you can. For small jobs, do it yourself a few times.

                                  A CEO of a webmaster program should at least know how to code HTML and work photoshop enough to make thumbs.

                                          So true.

                                          Logic says that if you can pay someone to do a job and have it done to the same standard as you could have done it but at half the cost or less (someone else doing the task then allows you to focus on your real bread & butter).

                                                  these days you really don't need skills. All you need is content, good traffic, and a starving college kid to do all your html and php work.

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
