    Hire people or outsource?

    T&M means time and materials. I would never profit share with an off-shore team. Offshore rates are dependent on experience and technology. I target developers for $20/hr. But again I focus on outcomes, not rates. In the US, I use interns and have creative ways to compensate them.

    Hire people or outsource?

    Use of offshore teams is most effective when you understand software development enough to validate the work product. If cannot do this find someone you can be an advocate for you. This is because some, not all, will take advantage of your ignorance. What you value is the outcome, not effort...

    Figuring Out Newsletters

    EXECUTION 
    I would create a knowledge base modeled after an FAQ. There are platforms out there that can then use artificial intelligence (AI) to create a bot allowing people through natural language query (NLP) to gain the answers and insights they are looking for. A good business model would be to provide...

    PEOPLE 
    The first thing you need to do is ensure that you separate the platform from the content.

I personally would independently develop the platform...
