I am however, watching my cash flow since it's all outgoing at this point and mostly in start-up mode. Do I absolutely need this software right now? That's a typical question I ask myself. Something might make my blog look cooler but at this point, I do believe what will get people back to my blog the most is content. So, I will spend more focus and money in that arena. I may not pay for advertising just yet. It doesn't make sense to if there isn't enough content to hook people. But I won't ignore marketing either. I talk to people about my blog and have had biz cards made up. I am getting the word out in different ways. The hardest part is finding the time to write at this point and market. I am also working a 2nd job and taking a wine class. I do my best and just keep reminding myself this is for the long-term and it will take time. What I am struggling with right now is the question whether it would make sense to hire someone to help me out with content (not full-time, but on a per-piece basis). Suggestions?

Get out there and advertise, market, and spread the word until your jaw is sore! In the words of super rich, investment and business guru Warren Buffet: "Be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful."
