View Full Version : How is your business going?
Katatonic 07-31-2006, 04:44 AM Hey,
I'm just wondering how you guys are going?
Things like number of clients, servers, location, income and how long you've been in the industry?
How many hours you work, staff etc?
I know some people who have setup their own service earn 80k a year with about 10 hours work a month, but they are geniuses so to speak. They also do more advanced things other than general web hosting.
You don't have to post any information you don't want to as I know a lot of people are very reluctant to.
I believe it's good for us to share things with each other, after all we have something in common.
Jimerson 07-31-2006, 05:24 AM I really doubt you will get anyone to share information. Do a search, the question has been asked 100 times. It normally remains unanswered every time.
Thanks,
Jim
demowolf 07-31-2006, 06:37 AM I think you'd be hard pressed to find many people here that don't work more than an average work week. In my experience, most people who run their own hosting business put in waay more than 40 hours a week.

Shaw Networks 07-31-2006, 12:34 PM Yeah, I personally spend more than 40 hours a week on my business, but that's partly because I want to / enjoy spending time working on it.
The more you put in, the more you get out. I could just work an hour a day but I know I wouldn't have any customers on that..
Yash-JH 07-31-2006, 01:04 PM How many hours you work, staff etc?
if you are the top admin, you can be working 50 to 60 hours a week even with admins under you. Those are the hours some of my admins are putting in
I no longer handle any server admin work, or do any support. I just do complaints, hardware aquisition, strategy and larger issues. Yet my plate is pretty full
So i just don't buy anyone being able to get off with 10 hours a month and running a successful business.

porcupine 07-31-2006, 02:31 PM Tell us how much YOU make
A little more then McDonalds pays, but less then our accountant charges
what you paid for your house
House?! What house?! I paid nothing! :laugh:
how much you owe on your car
I bought my car years ago, after the engine in my old one blew (literally)
and how big your bank account is. ;)
Same size as everyone else's, it encompasses only one username, and one password, and only comes with a single account #, and transit #.
That cover all your questions? :D

I make $0, only the US Mint / BOEP is allowed to make money.

Is anyone else seeing this post as broken (I've noticed more and more recently)....
WireSix, I only see the bit of Tina's post that you're quoting, but in the current reply to dialogue, I see your full post (I can only presume).
