Automate updates, promoting, etc.

Automation is your friend.
This is one of the BEST investments you can make, and agree 200%!!

Avoid having to hire people where you can. Labor is a major fucking headache. It doesn't matter if it's local, or outsourced darkies. You will find out investing $2000.00 here and $5000.00 there with automation of tasks can save you tens of thousands in labor costs in the first year alone. The long tail savings are insane.

Plus it will allow you more free time, or you can expand as you have more hours in your day now. It is a hard lesson to learn when you are first getting started as you see other things as more important. But it is where you should be investing as soon as you can afford too.

Find out what can be automated, and do it.
