Good luck on that one. Sounds like you want an affiliate manager/seo guy/designer/market researcher, all packed into one.

Yeah well that's what we do, dog. If you can't do it, there's always being a rep or a sig whore. If you're going to be near the top you really only get to eat what you can kill.

Good luck Hal! You guys have great sites! I am sure you will find someone!

Here's a little business lesson: it's almost always better to get experts for specific tasks than to get a single person who does it all. The reason for that is simple. An expert designer will almost always outperform someone who dabbles in designer, an seo expert will almost always outperform a part time se amateur, etc.

Meanwhile, the few exceptional people who really can do everything well will cost you an arm and a leg, and worse, setting them on tasks like designing banners is a waste of the time you're paying them for. Especially when you could get a better designer for less money.

Putting a top-notch marketing guy to work on designing banners is like paying your accountant to decorate your office.

I can do it all, but you have to pay for what I do

That's not how it works, but you need a guy who knows all of the above things to wrangle your designers, programmers, etc.

On any particular day my office door may say 'Marketing Genius' but I have designers I have to chase down, a programmer who speaks computer fluently and English less so, a CEO who calls me up wondering why his bank account isn't bigger, affiliates who want to know why THEIR bank accounts aren't geting bigger...you don't have to be an expert in all things but you have to know enough about all of these things to know what you should be doing yourself and what you should be delegating of hiring for.

Not every company has the resources or the needs to have a full time designer, a full time programmer, a full time this, a full time that. They're simply looking for somebody who's maybe "average" at everything but good enough to create decent results. A Jack of all Trades. A Team Player.

Not many Team Players seem to be around. Everybody wants their little niche and is terrified to step outside. And yet, if you look at the various reps around the industry that seem to have a little success, you'll see Team Players that are willing to open up Photoshop and learn HTML if the need arises.

Much to my surprise...... that might be one of the smartest things you've ever said.

Everyone in this industry wears multiple hats. I'm not a server admin, programmer, designer, affiliate manager, or photographer. But in the past week I've done all of the above.

Only 75% of what I post on here is complete bullshit.

Wow, Hal Hiring? Good opprotunity for someone in need of a Job.
I have know him for 8+ years now and all of his employees say
they will NEVER leave. :-) They must be happy. Anyways, just
thought I would chime in with my .02 cents.

Thumbs up for a GOOOD POST.

I've been in that position before and Jimmy-3-way and Richard are correct, you can't hold that position and not seriously know some detail about all those areas to manage shit well.

You need to know that a designer should design in 800x600,that they need to hand over psd files upon job completion, that there needs to be some freaking white space in page layouts, no blurry, pixely bullshit, and keep it SIMPLE for good conversions...calls to action, etc...

while at the same time knowing some coding jobs are best done in perl or C+ versus php and why so you can speak intelligently with your programmers

while at another time knowing that the lagging ass server needs an apachectl graceful to keep it flowing until the real admin shows up to fix that memory leakage...

oh, and have a contact list that you have greased and responsive since they all love doing business with you...

:pimp

im not even going to apply... i couldn't even get hired by the guys who didn't require any experience or qualifications.

you need an entire staff.

what are you paying this person? ball park..

Thanks for asking. I don't want to post an amount as the people who hold this type of position know what it's worth. We have a designer, a studio, and several fulltime and parttime empolyees not including the models who come and go daily. We provide health insurance (BCBS PPO) and other benefits and we deal with everyone honestly and above board. I have ten years in the business and my partner has 13, so we're not kicking tires or looking for someone to train. Again, qualified candidates know what they're worth.

P.S.

To Holly - Long time no talk. Thanks for your kind words.
To Chris- Thanks for the post- it's been a long road :waaaaahh :waaaaahh :thumbsup

Just finished up with a project and I may be interested. Icq me or email at [email protected]
