Introducing myself, howdy from Australia

Hi warriors! I'm a bit of a noob with the monetized websites dealio, despite our successful high end web and graphic design studio that we have run since forever! I've joined Warrior Forum to learn more about monetizing sites and what people look for when buying new websites with potential for doing so. Our work to date has mostly been producing client websites for businesses up to corporate/international level, a few online stores selling physical products and graphic design for marketing labels on products, radio station promos etc.

We run our studio from home with 3 full time and one casual staff member, plus myself when I'm not tied up with our 2 young children.

I hope I can offer to the forums some of our experiences in moving from working 9-5 (well, 7 - 7 when you include travelling to work in a busy city!) to working from a home based business and bringing in a lot more money than the 9-5 job. I feel I've got advice that might help others wanting to run their own show, but I feel there is a lot I can learn from you guys here about the other side of web development and making income from revenue from websites. We are in a good position where we can design some quality websites (and have our own dedicated high speed server) so looking forward to new opportunities in expanding what we do.

Look forward to getting to know everyone!
