This post concludes the ASS site Amazon affiliate income report series<\/a> for 2016. Looking back, there were a lot of ups and downs working on the ASS site. As you know I have been working on this project part-time and rely on my team to move things forward. However, I am starting to think maybe my involvement in every aspect of the site is causing it to not grow as fast.<\/p>\n

So, I have decided to do an experiment.<\/p>\n

Moving forward, I am going to rely on my team more and will only work on strategic items and leave all the tactical things to my team. I am sure this will cause a lot of mess and productivity will come to halt for a few months. However, in the long run, I believe this is the only way to grow and scale.<\/p>\n

I am not sure if this means few months of no updates or even a year (I hope not). But the first milestone in my mind is when the ASS site hits $1,000 \/ month revenue.<\/p>\n
