When you own 70 or 80 sites and your constantly developing new sites and ideas then it would be impossible to do it all yourself. Especially when you have many different types like TGP/MGP/Mobile/Blog/Tube/etc. I also have my own paysite aswell.
There are some of us still that dont fuck around and are growing even during these trying times. I do mostly all planning, research, seo, advertisement deals, and all other admin or "owner" type duties while I have other guys that handle say content only, or design/integration, traffic trading, etc.
I think were up around 800k/day of traffic now and its all of highest quality for each respective site type. Could have much more if we wanted to reduce user experience.
So anyway, yes of course we have employees. Just think of yourself expanding your operation to say several times your current size and then also bringing on an entire free site side to build traffic. As long as your making more $$$ at the end of the day then its all good. I dont do this shit for fun. This is business.  |
I'm getting to the point now, with 23 paysites, a network, etc etc, that I'll have to either expand/grow and hire people or shrink back, because I'm working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week now. LOL
The biggest thing you said that stands out for me is obviously the 800k in traffic. If I had even half that traffic I'd retire by now. LOL So putting energy into traffic generation - INHOUSE traffic generation, not affiliates - is my #1 priority for 2011. Of course, HOW to go about it and not do it all half-assed while I learn the "right" (or a better) way is the challenge.
Heh - I'd ask for advice but I've learned that even the best advice works for the person giving it and not always for the one asking for it. I've always found my own way in things so I'm sure, at the end of the day, I'll have hundreds of free sites for traffic etc. Getting started? A challenge. LOL Especially when you already have 23 plates spinning, as it were.
But that's awesome man! I like to hear about affiliates that have their shit together.
