During the August 31 #solopr Twitter chat, independent PR pros shared insight on motivating sub-contractors, hiring a full-time assistant, the collective power of #solopr, and more. The following questions helped guide the conversation:

1. Do you have any tips for motivating sub-contractors? #solopr

2. Have you ever hired a full-time (or close to it) assistant? How did you find them? #solopr

3. Yesterday on the blog, asked if we have collective power: http://bit.ly/qFFKD6 – do you think we do, and what do you need help with? #solopr

4. I find myself spending a lot of time on tasks w/little return. How do you pare these down? #solopr
