DUPLICATION - A Business Lesson Learned!

You do also have to have money to pay these extra people you speak of & I'd bet that most of the posters here on this particular board are 1-2 person operations.

Take me for example: with the Link O'Rama, MrMaryLou is the ONLY person I'd trust with the work that he does for me (and I'm not talking about reviewers) but there are still times when I decide it'd be easier for me to just do something myself because I am anal to the point of insanity (no joke)

Just Part 1 alone - not too many people here will pay 2 people to do something that they can do themselves, regardless of if they have time or not.

I'm not flaming you here, MT, but if you admit that others won't do the work as well as I can do myself, then "Duplication" isn't an inappropriate title. Maybe "Pay a Filipino to Fuck Up Your Web Pages" would be more appropriate.

Obviously, there are things I simply cannot do myself. When I wanted a paysite tour designed and realizing that I'm an uskilled loser, I hit up my mate Urb - 'cause there's no fucking way I can do that (and I knew Urb wouldn't require me to fix spelling and grammar errors like those sweatshop designers). But if I could create a quality product like that - I'd find the time to do it myself. Call me budget-conscious. Call me cheap.

When it comes to things I can do myself, I'd have to be really busy in order to justify paying someone else to do it and dealing with the aggravation that goes along with dealing with other humans.

I still think GG's main point rings true for this crowd.

Most of us are single person operations. We don't run anything larger than the domains you know us by. We are not companies in the classic sense. Outside the example I presented in my initial post, I can't imagine what I would need or even want to contract out for.
