Comment on Time Scarcity Mindset Proves Powerful by Patrick Shields

It’s perfectly acceptable. I have extremely high standards for myself. I expect to one day be worth $100-200 an hour at least.

So for me to be selling 10% of my potential at $10 an hour is fine–I’m providing $10 of value per hour. I could just generate more if I lived up to more of my potential.

I charge market rates for my services (unless you count outsourcing overseas, which is cheaper.) People are free to shop around for the best value.

I still don’t want to show advertisements. I think the most moral way to do it is to:

1) Only allow advertisements that I think will improve the quality of my readers’ lives. (which means working personally with each advertiser)
2) Give people a way to get rid of the ads completely by paying voluntarily on a micro level. (though I want to avoid payment fees…)

The issue is that if ads provide value to some readers and allow me to provide more value as well by freeing up my time, I should use them. At the same time, many readers (myself included) generally find no value from ads.

Hmm… I wonder how much time, cumulatively, has been spent playing all of your games. It would be interesting to compute the ratio of the time spent (by you) in developing them to the time spent (by others) engaging with them.

Is it really prudent to state that you normally work at 40% of your potential when you bill by the hour? Just trying to help….

What happened to “I don’t think I’m going to show advertisements”?

Aenigmatite, it is a question with a yes or no answer. If your answer is ‘no’, it would probably be beneficial to explain why.

However, it should be fairly easy to answer. =P
