4-5k a month is more than enough to make a hire. Think of it this way:

What is your time worth to you?

Would you rather work your ass off and make 5k, or have a sane workload, make 2k for a while, which then rises as you have adequate internal infrastructure to support growing sales and users?

It sounds like you have a good thing going, and I'd strongly recommend at looking to get another pair of hands involved - or close it down.

As he apologised for his English (which as an aside is perfectly acceptable) I'd assume that figure isn't in dollars or pound sterling. Possibly euros but that again would seem to be enough to get someone else involved in the project.

As we know there not just 3 currencies in the world. It could be Yen, Rupee or Ugandan shilling or any one of the 180 currencies.

Sure, but why provide the information if it's in Triganic Pu - I think it's fair to assume he meant USD, unless otherwise indicated, otherwise it's just an utterly contextless number.

Why would that be safe to assume? Most of us don't use use usd, just a small, vocal minority.

Look, dickbrain, I don't use USD either, but this isn't a political argument, it's just that when people give an amount without a currency they typically mean USD.

The OP could clarify this but has chosen not to.

My apologies, you are quite right. The single most important thing is what currency he meant, and I was clearly being pro-America and anti-semitic by assuming he meant USD.

What do you want? A pound of flesh?

Safe to assume he converted into USD. I would have if I didn't use the £ symbol.

This is right. There is a big step in business when you go from doing everything yourself to getting other people involved.

I would like to apologise for my bad advice. Do nothing. Continue struggling. I cannot tell you anything unless you clarify what currency you are earning in.

My sincere apologies for wasting your time.

It is USD, I thought it was fair to assume so I didn't reply.
