Dogboy - I do commend you on your skill and tenacity in developing your online business. I know you've been around in this game for a long time (internet wise). I remember you from another board some years ago. You surely deserve it.

As with any business, the devil is in the details. Alby, you mentioned someone with employees. I've sworn I don't ever again want to have employees, and I'm afraid of things growing to the point where they're unmanageable without employees or outside help. I know from experience, that it makes you a manager, and I don't want to be a manager. So, again, I have misgivings about the business model suggested, although I don't doubt that it can succeed nicely.

Following the affiliate model, I'm nudging up against the rarified air Brett has mentioned. From the Barconference, I know the affiliate approach can produce lucrative results for those who have good SEO skills. I was inspired by what I heard, and my own experience of late confirms that its true.

We aren't going to get to the bottom of this here. I guess I'll wait until the Pubconference when these questions can be explored in greater depth. I remain open to suggestion.
