    I feel like $20-$25 is a comfortable rate to pay for that skill set. But I would definitely have to budget myself to $100/day. That's either four or five hours, depending. That's not horrible to upload a set of content or draft a listing and edit it. Man, doing that even twice a week could really make a difference in turning out content! That's sounding like a good idea.

    From what I've read in the Weekly Earning threads, you're doing pretty well camming, so if it would help in your success, then I think you should go for it. You could posibly even make more money if you had an assistant ... like while you're camming, she could run errands for you, like grocery shopping, and you'd have more time to earn money. I think $12-$15 per hour is fine, unless you need someone with a specific skill.

    I agree with hiring a male assistant, and, perhaps this is gauche, but I'd prefer a homosexual male assistant in a perfect world. I have plenty of male friends who know what I do and are more than happy 'to help', even for free, but I would feel better with someone who isn't just waiting to salivate over the next batch of content.

    OK, maybe not ONLY a homosexual guy, maybe otherwise a guy who is very experienced in online adult work/porn/erotic work etc who is kind of blase about things. Just no shiny, wet behind the ears guys or girls who really 'just wanna' and have the passion but not the skill set.

    Someone who just knows what to do, how to do it, can do it according to schedule... and who may be able to offer the odd tidbit now and then about what is 'hotter' to the male aesthetic between two choices of content I might be mulling over would be ideal. I think both an 'industry' guy OR a homosexual man would be equally helpful in this regard.

    So, an assistant for me would be someone who counterbalances my 'feminine' mentality with a masculine perspective for moments where I need to make a selling decision or image-conscious choice.

    Because of those specific reasons, I do not see how a woman could necessarily help me with that as an assistant. I admit this bias and that I could be wrong. But a female promoter, sure....Somebody like CamWhore would be AMAZING for marketing and promo!

    I've been wishing I had a magical twin for quite some time in the last few years....hmmm...good thread topic!

    ETA: With the guy I shoot soft and hardcore content these days, he can often help with the 'male perspective', but it would take waaaay too much time to teach him how to do basic uploading and resizing pictures and .....*sigh*....yeah, I often wish I had a moment to even stop and look FOR a right-hand (wo)man.

    where I live , they pay 10-12 $/hour for office work( if u r lucky..)... I guess this would be classified as office work...
    the problem would be who to hire... I would not hire someone I dont know... I would not feel comfortable with that.. maybe would be best to hire a friend who needs extra cash...and this would be a part time... 3 hours/day maybe 3 days a week or someth. like that..
    Now if the friend would be able to book cam shows... she would get a commision....

    Hrmm...not to be any kind of way...I promise!! Being a PA is different from general office work..

    Its an independent contractor, not an employee with benefits, and its not steady work as in 8 hours a day 5 days a week, unless someone really does have that much of a work load to give someone.

    I guess the thing would be to figure out how many hours a day youd need someone to work, and how many days a week. If it is in the 25+ hour range, then you may well be able to find someone willing to work for $250/wk in cash...but then also consider if youre paying under the table, you cant claim it as a deduction if they are not claiming taxes on it...and taxes will take a chunk out of that..consider at least 30% off the top, so of that $250 they actually net $175 or $7/hr.

    I guess the thing really is to do what you think is fair. Even if someone would work for a cheaper amount, just..if you feel that what your paying is fair for the work they are doing. A PA isnt just an office assistant btw I have done both, and being a solid PA is being able to do work on the behalf of thier boss, someone that they depend on and for those with a great PA, the big thing you will hear is how thier business would fail or not be nearly as successful if it wasnt for their PA...they genuinely really do have an important position...not like someone who does general office work like filing, making photo copies or data entry, jobs anyone can do...something I have also done.

    There really is a difference...

    I wish I could have somebody to do the marketing for me. I really don't enjoy the process. If I really had the money I would do it. But in the meantime I gotta do it myself.

    I don't know if anyone's still here or watching this thread, but quick question: how do you make sure the assistant doesn't completely fuck you over by releasing all of your personal information, or even just a tiny bit. Would a simple NDA be enough to cover your ass. And an NDA would only cover you after the fact. Of course you can threaten legal action if the NDA is broken. But how comfortable are any of you with having an assistant after thinking about safety?

    Unless its strictly a financial advisor or merchant account who handles your payouts, marketers don't need to know your real name. I provide similar services and your true info is only revealed to my merchant account. But I do understand the concern and that is why you shouldn't just trust anyone. This is a very old thread and most setups are more advanced than several years ago. Or different corners of the adult industry have finally caught up with others.
