Hi John

So I hired my first full time person tonight. He has a lot of SEO experience. He wanted $350 and I got him to start at $250. Actually, I told him my budget was $225, but he thought about it and said he needed $250. So with his level of experience (yes I will give him a challenging task like you mentioned) and go from there. Teach, train, teach train philosophy.

Cheers

You refer to them as employees, but are they really independent contractors? I don't see how they would be contractors if they are full time and you train them. So, this leads to my next question: If you hire full time employees, don't you have to pay employment tax?

Hi,
This is key. When workers are only working part time, they often get to work overtime on their dayjob and then you are missing out on your work.
