I’ve been wondering about this for quiet some time now. Should I work from home? or Should I get an office? to become more productive.

It’s somewhat beneficial to work at home.

I still think I prefer to work at home to keep expenses lower. Although, It would be more productive to be in an office when you can afford it.

Benefits of Working At Home : No commuting, No need to get dressed, Any hours and many other great benefits.

Negative Benefits of Working At Home: Not able to concentrate, Feel too much at home, Not able to focus properly, Tired of being at home, and much more.

Sure we all love AM I think. However you get to a point where there’s more ideas then you can implement on your own. That’s when you want to look to getting an office in my opinion. I actually hired 2 people before I had an office and they worked on my kitchen table a couple weeks. Really if and when you decide to grow to the next level you need people that are good at things. I’m terrible at design and you can only outsource so much. So I hired a designer. Oh I hate uploading and tweaking campaigns so I hired some people to do that. Don’t have time for coding anymore so I hired a guy for that. Book keeping gets over whelming for just me at this point so I needed a book keeper. Yep you guessed it I’m terrible at writing copy so we brought on a full time copywriter. Hmmm what the fuck do I do all day

Seriously though my favorite part is the ideas. Building, investing and testing the ideas. Where I could setup a campaign and manage a few on my own. Now we can push out a campaign from start to finish in about 4-6 hours. Throw a bunch of testing money at it and then on to the next. Some work, some don’t. It’s a lot like a production line though in that each person has their role and we can function much fast and efficiently as a single machine.

At first I thought I wouldn’t like having an office as the few I’d worked in were stuffy and lame. But honestly it’s just like working at home now but I have a bunch of like minded friends around. Pretty cool if you ask me smaxor

There’s a lot of different ways, I like how Smaxor put it though, on WickedFire Forums.

I also like Kyle’s post right underneath smaxor. He mentioned:

IMO an office is nothing to do with impressing people. The reason that I think it works so well is that, even if you’re on your own in the office, it completely separates your personal and business lives.

It makes you more productive as when you are in the office, you are in a work environment and it motivates you to push harder and focus. But it also makes you more productive in your personal life, as when at home you dont feel like you should always be working - home time is home time. You can enjoy it, relax more and become even more productive at work the next day.

Hiring people and having at least one person to bounce ideas off and banter with is definitely recommended but not necessarily essential at first I wouldnt say.

An this is exactly, what I feel also which is why I think I should get an office, it would make me more productive and feel more like a working environment.

Still not sure yet might just it in house until I can hire more employees and expand my work further and have a bigger team to create my ideas into reality.

I think before, that can happen. You must do a lot of work on your own before you can get to that point.

So I better get working!
