I was sitting next to a guy at the SocialMediaRT who was doing a
collaborative book authoring product. If anyone can remember his
name/company/site maybe that might also be good glue? I don't know if it
worked better for fiction or would work in this context.

Great idea :)
Is there enough content on the list or do we need to let it stew a
little more? Pick a date!

Ross Hill was teasing me that I haven't done anything on the website.
One day.
But in that conversation, an idea sprouted based on all the knowledge
this mailing list generates and the intelligent people we have
contributing.
How about we write a book?
We use the start-up camp concept - but we

lets assume that browser stats don't matter. The question is whether you
have a large enough "addressable market" (the VC's call this a TAM) to make
your product meaningful and useful to a large enough group. From there you

I wouldn't suggest paying yourself as a contractor as the Personal Services
Income legislation prevents people claiming to be contractors to avoid the
regular employee rules.
Basically, the ATO realised that a person earning income from their own
efforts and paying tax at high marginal individual
it rocks. I'd suggest:
1. the ability to checkbox buying multiple domains at once.
2. I had a hard time figuring out (in my brain) which words and which
words are secondary. When I use google my simple thought process is
that the first words are the primaries.
3. possibly a thesaurus lookup/sele

Thanks guys, this has been a great help. Best business forum ever!
Will contact ATO and look for an accountant. I am hiring a bookkeeper
on a contractual basis in the new year which will free up a lot of my
time. So excited.
I was wondering if it was possible to pay myself as a contractor? Can

The ATO gives free visits for small businesses exactly around this
issue. We were going to find an accountant but we are not about to get a
visit from a specialist at the ATO that will tell you exactly what your
obligations are etc. We got a CD from them with pre-built excel
spreadsheets too.
Guess I should introduce myself ;)
My name is Kevin Littlejohn, I'm based in Melbourne, and my girlfriend

We started out as a group of tech consultants, throwing pretty much

Hi Langy
I suggest you find an accountant that can grow with you - tell them
you want to start off small but you will be growing.

Hello,
My name is Luc Marin and I've recently returned to Sydney having lived

age I know...). Having

Very good tool, very useful. I was thinking it was going to be a bit

Hi, my name is Malcolm Lambert. I studied physics at UNSW and the only

As always, it depends.

Since most of us here are self employed here, I’m just wondering how
do you pay yourself? (sorry if this is really basic stuff).
I’ve been supporting my business up until now but it’s time my

myself an income? Or i
