A bonus is an extra benefit to reward others. The best thing about a bonus is its a one time increase. You don’t have to give a bonus next time unless your business adopts a bonus plan. When I worked for a publicly traded company they wanted management working together so they implemented a bonus plan based upon yearly improvement in earnings. If you were a manager then you received a bonus based upon the earnings increase. If the company’s earnings increased 14% then every manager received a 14% bonus in that year. If you don’t have a formal bonus plan-then you can reward others based upon what you believe. If you work with the person yearly they may expect the same or higher bonus each year.

The franchisor charges a franchise fee. A licensor charges a licensing fee.. There are a number of factors in determining the franchise fee. Is it for one location? Is it for a large territory? Are you trying to build a large number quickly? Can you support many franchisees? Are you a new or older franchise? Are you in growth stage? The franchisor typically makes more money as they grow and the money is from royalties not franchise fees. $50,000 may sound great but 5% royalty on a store doing $1.5 Million is $75,000 per year per franchise. The typical franchise fee is $25,000 to $60,000. Think long term value not short term franchise fee. The more stores the better the deals for franchisees which make you more valuable.

Reliability is huge. Last night BlueHost a major web hositing company network was down. We are not talking about one of the domains I own. The official website was donwn for over 6 hours.

Even huge companies like Amazon have bugs and sites going down.If you have a site it will go down. The frequency of downtime is the important reliability issue. Bad weather or a fire where the server is located could effect you. Having your site on the cloud is usually more reliable to avoide wetaher and location issues. Do your research.

Also you state you have a chaotic work schedule. You don’t build a site and your done. The site is a starting point. You need to devote time not jjust to build a site but to market the site. Once you get some people to the site you need to support those people in the sales, customer service, returns and refunds, not to mention occasional technological issues including servers going down, site hacking and slow sites. Nothing is easy and nothing is quick. Having a business online by creating a website is step one. Depending on your product or service you may need contracts that protect you and a myriad of issues. If you don’t have time because work is chaotic you wont get more time after your site is built and in rare circumstances you wont be making dollars for a while.
