Does all this hiring seem like a good idea? Unless he's using the Huffington Post model of not actually paying people.

Advantage of his initial model was how lean the operation was. He was writing two things a week. He had one dedicated Steeler and one dedicated Penguins writer, with those two and another guy splitting time with the Pirates and generally covering for each other. Then whoever he could find would do college football. Plus his wife did marketing/accounting and finally an outsourced, probably low-budget, webhosting solution. At the time there was no office for the business.

Now the operation is three times as big.

Unless he is firing people to hire all these new people, he is just adding cost without taking actions that necessarily have anything to do with increasing revenue.

Won't be long now. I actually like Rob Rossi's Upgruv better.
