Wow, its been over a week since my last blog post. I didn’t realize how lazy I have been with my blog. I have a good excuse for why I haven’t been bloggin… I have been way busy.
So while everyone is hurting during these recession months I have been busy moving my company towards a well planned track to success. Its been working, but at a price. I work a ton and I am still getting backed up. I get about 40-50 support email and 10 phone calls a day, not to mention the 30 plus emails I get to my main email address. Replying to all those emails every day isn’t a problem, but the amount of time it takes to complete those emails are starting to eat up my business building time.
I think you know where I’m head here… This week I am hiring someone to manage my support, sales, and help me out with my busy work so I can focus on finding new ways to advertising my business, add new products and services, improve existing products and services, and maybe take a vacation hehe.
The person I am hiring will be starting this week. The person I will be hiring will be working part time for me, they will be doing support emails and calls, follow up phone calls, help me manage my current ways of advertising, and of course do some of my busy work. Right now they will be in-house but my plan is to make it so they can work from their own home, that way I won’t have a set schedule (I like to work at night).
I will let you all know how it goes and who the lady is after a little while. 
In other news, www.developerhut.com is growing great, every 3 months I double my profit. The last month or so I have been updating the current backed to a new one that is 99% automated. That means that all orders will be filed and completed with out me touching them, which is one of the reasons I need to hiring someone for support. The backend is pretty wicked, it tells me all my stats, ROI for particular advertising methods, daily income, how much I owe my writers, etc.
The backend also runs about 10-15 crons every night that file orders, send notices, send orders, and at 11.30 pm every night my daily stats are emailed to me. Which kicks ass.
I am also launching article submission and directory submission this week. Both of those are a great way to build backlinks. This week my new 128 ssl will be live (working on it now actually) which means that I can now offer Google Checkout on www.developerhut.com which will also bring in new customers that dont like Paypal. We are also working with 2checkout but they require a lot of shit to set up an account.
This month we will also be launching our affiliate program, which is going to kick ass too. I am not sure on the details yet but I am sure I can make it profitable for the affiliates. Not only do I plan to code the affiliate program myself but I will be creating tools and tutorials on how to advertise our services. The way I see it is if you make money, I will make money. So I will be putting a lot of time into helping the affiliates generate good income.
Along with the affiliate plan I am in talks with a few company’s to push my products as white label, white label is were you offer someone else’s product as your own. Its much like drop shipping.
So yeah, lots of work for me to do 
It’s kool though I love my job.
Follow me on my journey of success and failures, it should be a fun ride.... Again, here is the link for the RSS feed.

Looking forward to the affiliate program!
Good luck with all the coding.
Over a week? It’s been a month hehe.
There’s a recession?
Nope, pretend you never heard that.
Lol, everytime I hear someone talk about the recession, I ask what recession?
Your backend sounds sick jon, I wish I had the PHP/CRON knowledge to do that.
It’s good to hear that your business is moving positive. It’s most important to have the ball rolling, and that you have income all the time. It will be interesting to see your new SEO services..
Glad to see you are working hard, but I know it all pays off
