My mom has been working for me for over two year and it’s all been good.
She is responsible for data entry of my affiliate stats, generating reports as well as all of my bookkeeping so that tax season is not a hassle. I give her a flat fee and she works at her own pace.
She does this all from another state. I use gotomypc to assist her and upload the data to my server.
Yea, its not like I am making her president of a big corporation or something. I am going to pay her $10 an article and have her write about 15 a week. She has a good writing style and she should perform fine for me. But as a general rule of thumb, I appreciate how most advise not to hire family for business, the potential to run into problems and have bad blood is always there. However, since the decision to hire her has already been made and is not going to change, if anyone can help me out with my original question about the best way to find articles to write I would appreciate it. I should have given this post a different title and not mentioned family in the equation lol.
