Revenue challenges

There are only two of us doing almost everything - reporting, writing...and ad sales. We have two (very) part-time ad people, but they are mostly in reactive mode these days, and not out selling. And my partner and I just don't have time to give both the editorial side and the advertising side our full attention.
