One thing probably many internet marketers are not prepared for is the all the different things (skills) that need to be learned in the beginning. It’s difficult to know for sure, but we would not be surprised if 90% of IM marketers quit within months of getting involved, and that is possibly due to the steep learning curve. Before you can begin the process of outsourcing your business tasks, you should sit down and figure out what would be the best tasks, for you, to have done for you. Proper use of outsourcing can do wonders for your business, so we’ll talk some more about that.
Creating new products can be very time consuming, so that is one area that a lot of marketers love to outsource. Of course there are writers who specialize in writing new products in ebook format. Be it ebook creation, video/audio creation, article writing, anything can be outsourced. Well, the interesting fact is that no one will ever be the wiser for it. If it’s well-written, people will accept it and rave over it. If you want, you can easily find people who will write your blog posts and your newsletter or ezine. Naturally, if you do something like this you’ll need to ensure you hire a good writer.
To avoid mistakes and problems, it’s a good idea to clearly communicate with your hired help. One very good idea, and this is done by a lot of marketers, is to create training materials for the people you hire because this will help them learn faster and get off to a good start. If required, use videos and screen shots to help these people understand the kind of work you need to get done. We think you’ll agree this is better than exchanging a hundred emails about the matter. In the end they’ll be able to do a better job, be more efficient, and help you better. The better they are trained, the better job they’ll do for you.
Finding good people is a great thing because you can always bring them back onboard for future projects. If you do this enough times you’ll have your own Rolodex of outsourcers who you can trust and use. The next step is to look into how you can outsource the other parts of your business and make it more hands free. If you can free more time for yourself, you’ll have choices – either enjoy your time, or work on your business.
It’s best to retain those who work well for your business, and then you’ll always know your work will be done right when you give them more work. So if you found a quality worker that is professional at doing specific tasks for you, keep him on your list for anything else that might come up in that category. After all is in place, then the thing to do is identify other areas of your business that you can outsource. If you can free more time for yourself, you’ll have choices – either enjoy your time, or work on your business. That is why so many marketers outsource as much as possible, it gives them time and choices.
