Bill -

I would suggest that you don't sell very deep. The more ITM you go, the less time premium you get. In looking at Fridays closing bid prices for QCOM Sept options I see:

Strike    Strike+Premium
65        68
60        65.50
55        63.90
50        62.80
45        62.20
40        61.80
30        61.50

Which shows that the just ITM gives the best return.
Why take 61.80 if you could get 63.90.
