Man I wish I was at the point where I needed to hire someone so i could focus more time on my Steemit blog. That would be amazing. I like the tips, thats great advice. I think what it comes down to is how to use your time in the most valuable (i.e. efficient/productive) way. Its like cost benefit analysis - don't waste time doing tasks if they take you away from earning more money and if it would be cheaper to pay someone else to do it. However, as you said - it can be a waste of money if you are not yet at that place. Don't pay someone to do something that you could do yourself cheaper.

So are people successful enough on steemit that they can pay to have an assistant? If so, that is incredible. Good for them.
