OK if it was not for the fact that I have someone sitting here with me working away I would probably not be writing this now. I am not sure what I would be doing but it’s a sunny 23 degrees outside and I live near a beach!
For the last month I have had someone work along side me. The work they have done is excellent and I am very pleased with the way it has gone. What is especially pleasing is that my own productivity levels have increased and I fear that when I go back to working alone they will slide again! I cannot really afford to continually employ someone yet.
I may have the additional incentive of quite a severe downturn in earnings over the last week and quite a big drop in traffic as well.
My earnings report are now a part of history as far as this blog goes. Too many friends, housemates etc now look at the site mainly due to this blog’s exposure on Facebook. I have got to the point where I don’t want to shout my salary from the rooftops.
However, I will be monthly reporting in the Forum so people that are really interested can still find earnings details there.

Good to hear that your productivity is picking up, bad to hear your earnings are down. It’ll be interesting to see if your increased output has an effect. It seemed to when you first set out on your travels a couple years ago so this might be the boost you need to get up to that next level.

it all depends where you are though Webby!
if you find someone who fancies a bit of time in a different country, or someone who can speak and write very good english in a country that’s substantially cheaper than the UK, then i’m sure you could then afford it.
For example, there’s plenty of people doing TEFL in Asia, so you could spend a few months out there very cheaply, and probably get someone to do the work (or even just a student on their gap year that’s running short of funds).
If you’re mainly after content writers, i’m sure you could work like that.
