First Hire (alien.top)

Hey Guys,

These are probably dumb questions so apologies.

I run a small SEO agency with a few clients. I’m a one man band and it’s becoming quite tough.

I’m still just figuring out everything as I go.

But is there a rule of thumb for when I could hire my first employee ?

It’s worth noting that I have minimal overheads, live off £900 a month and pay myself minimum wage.

I guess my questions are:

A) How much does it cost to take on a minimum wage employee (UK) ?

B) At what point of revenue/profit would it make sense to hire someone for minimum wage?

C) Any general tips would be much appreciated.

Like I said, I’m pretty new to the game so apologies if these questions sound dumb.

That sounds great!

You’re probably right, i should consider a VA instead. It would take about 5 hours of lead Gen off my plate.

In terms of employing someone, just out of curiousity and for developing my own business knowledge - is there a rule of thumb around when you should get your first employee or what revenue mark would make sense ?
