    How many staff should you have?

    To those running a members site.

    Ideally how many staff should you have to make things work best?

    Sure you can run a site on your own (I am not including the server side of things). As in shoot/buy content. Edit content. Promote site. And so on. But even if you do this from the moment you get up to the moment you go to bed, in truth there is not enough time in the day.

    So in an ideal world how many staff would you have and what roles/jobs would you give them to do?

    I presume such as supermarkets must have a lot of staff working on there websites (uploading content, promoting and so on).

      Use the rule of thumb. Dumb down the role so anyone can do it, and then hire cheap labor for that. Works for McDonalds.

                  That depends on the amount of bathrooms you have ..... Hold on while I find that thread.

                                  For me this would depend on how may sites,
                                  What type of sites,
                                  The type of backend and billing setup,
                                  Number and timeline on updates,
                                  How much effort will be put in webmaster traffic vs inhouse traffic generation vs traffic buying,
                                  Expected release rate of new sites,
                                  Webmaster marketing tools, (depending on what they are they will need updates and support)

                                  You can have 2 companies, both with say 20 sites...
                                  Depending on the setup company "A" can have 3 staff Company "B" 120 staff...

                                  So its not really an answerable question...

                                              42. The answer is always 42.

                                              For me:
                                              2 video editors
                                              4 video uploaders
                                              1 designer
                                              1 programmer
                                              1 designer for affiliate programs (FHGs, adding promo content, custom banners etc)
                                              1 webmaster/Editor for Members Area updates, Tour Updates, video format conversion and other tasks
                                              1 Uber Dousche Boss who does everything else (me)

                                              So that's....42, right?

                                              (By Summer that # will jump by 4 as I continue to scale up.)

                                                  If you really counted that as 42.... you have higher odds you will experience an "insufficient credit"-sitiation at the local grocery shop in the nearby future...

                                                          Ahh that explains a lot. No wonder the clerks at the local supermarket look at me so strange. I always hand them $42, regardless of what the total is. LOL

                                                          I started out as an amateur doing everything myself, even shooting the content, so I always say this when it comes to a single person or a couple running their own website:

                                                          There are 3 parts of the business and a person (or couple) can only successfully do 2 out of the 3 long-term without losing their minds/motivation (or ruining their relationship, thus ending the website).

                                                          1. Content creation
                                                          2. Running the website
                                                          3. Marketing the website

                                                          (If content is purchased it makes it MUCH easier for a person/couple to do all 3 aspects.)

                                                          When you throw in an Affiliate Program....well, it's a shit ton of work for just one active paysite (let alone 82). So either you become incredible at multi-tasking or you hire help (or both).

                                                          Of course, many are happy with whatever income they may get running things themselves so everyone has different goals in business.

                                                                  Expected release rate of new sites,

                                                                  You can have 2 companies, both with say 20 sites...
                                                                  Depending on the setup company "A" can have 3 staff Company "B" 120 staff...
