You can only do so much as a one, or two, man show when you SHOOT your own material, plus everything else that goes with the production end for mutliple sites, and then work on new things to stay ahead of the curve, market, link build, and so forth.

I understand your point, but the fact is, it's easier for us to hire a PR person to come in and use their skill set then us trying to do everything.

At some point, every company has to do it if they are growing.

If you think a 50/50 rev share for the life of the member, plus a $1000.00 on top of that per 100 members is nothing, then you must be a GFY pimp daddy, high rolling, lambo driving, super models tossing your salad, flying to all the shows, drink everyone under the table, fuck anything that moves BRO.

In that case. This would not be for you.
