Once I was comfortable with the income from my businesses, I quit my job. There wasn't a sudden switchover - more of a steady fading of one income to the other. Monetize Newshutch first, then one you are stable, fade your less desirable commitments out. The feeling of relief was awesome!

You're last blog post was asking how best to place ads. This means your business plan consists of "somehow sell ad space." A VC probably won't take that seriously. BTW, I love newshutch :) Hope you guys can figure out a way to monetize it and get VC, if that's what you need...oh, and keep it free for me :) What on earth kind of business model could you possibly be pitching to a VC?
