Will an employee add enough sales to not only pay for himself but also extra revenue on top or is it better to stay a one-man-show and do it all by yourself?
If successful, I can also see why you'd want a day manager to run things for you and thereby freeing up your own time for other things.

I have come to love the one man show. By doing it myself I am able to double and triple check my work to make sure everything is working properly. I do make mistakes, occasionally I have a broken link, but I usually find these mistakes as I am doing the work... and if not I find them within a day or so because I am constantly clicking through my sites.
For me, learning CSS3, HTML5, and PHP, then combining those skills into a universal PHP template system that I designed to match my needs and my content has conquered the need for employees or independent contractors. And every day I am trimming tasks off my list with new PHP scripting and automation. I mention these things in the hopes that maybe someone who feels intimidated by some of the skills that a lot of us pay for, might take on the challenge of learning them and saving some moolah.
