Explode Your Business Faster With A Team Of Online Experts From Around The World
1. Hi Joe Karl here with a dynamite marketing online
update.
Today I am going to be talking about Outsourcing and
how you can Build your Online Business Faster.
2. There is an old saying that goes like this: If you do
not have an administrative assistant, than you are
the administrative assistant.
Part of leadership is delegating tasks that take up
your time, or prevent you from doing the things
that you need to do to grow your business.
3. When you are an online company it only makes sense
to find an online source for help when you need it.
There are sites on the Internet where highly skilled
people sign up to accept extra work on a contractor
basis.
These sites like Odesk.com and elance.com, make it
easy for online companies to find talented virtual
workers.
4. What To Outsource?
Any task that is preventing you from doing the things that you
need to be doing in your business to move forwards, should
be considered for outsourcing.
This may include day to day administrative jobs like writing
articles, gathering data, or doing basic research, or even
technical jobs that just take up your time.
5. As a leader of a company, your job is to promote growth and
focus on marketing first. Odesk and elance offer a wide range
of services and a small army of freelance workers that will be
happy to help you with projects.
6. The skill set of freelance workers is wide. There are workers that
can help with web development, software
development, networking and information systems.
If you need writers, there are copywriters, technical
writers, translators, and marketers who can help you with writing
projects. Do you need help designing multimedia campaigns? There
are freelance designers and multimedia experts that can help you
design, build and launch projects.
7. There are customer service workers available to help you with
customer service jobs.
Do you need help to design and implement sales and marketing
campaigns? There are many freelance sales and marketing experts
available to help you through the beginning, middle, and end of a
marketing project.
There are also business service experts who can help you improve
business growth, flow, and dynamics.
8. When To Outsource?
The key of knowing when to outsource work is any time that
keeping work in house is going to slow down progress on current
projects.
If you work alone or if you have a small team than realizing that
their resources are limited and that piling work on yourself or
onto your team is not adding to productivity than it is time to
outsource.
9. Why You Should or Should Not Outsource?
The primary reason that businesses outsource is to get projects
done quickly without taxing in house talent, or if using in house
employees is going to cause a slow down in productivity.
The other reason is cost. The workers that are hired from these
services are not your employees.
They are independent contractors so you save money in taxation.
Speaking of money, most jobs are listed by the fee, so you set the
price.
10. If you want someone to write you an article then you build your
project, list your job and how much you are willing to pay for the
job. This allows you to budget for specific jobs, which allows
you, to in turn control your own costs.
Many times outsource costs are tax deductible, and add in extra
savings in the long run.
Additional Resources for Outsourcing:
onlinejobs.ph is a Filipino based company that offers virtual
assistants. They boast over 40,000 resumes from which employers
can choose. The site seems easy to use with active search
features.
11. ph.jobsdb.com is also a Filipino based company that offers virtual
workers.
They offer many of the skill sets that some of the larger more
reputable companies offer, but can also function as a temp agency
of head hunting company.
Outsourcing for online businesses is one of the powers that the
Internet can give to you. If you are a small company or a company
that looks to grow quickly, than consider using outsource labor for
projects that would otherwise tie up your in house work force.
12. There are a lot of talented people out there who look for extra
work. The cost savings to you is high. You set the price of your jobs
you save on employee taxes, and often times the cost of services
becomes a tax writer off for your company. Truly a win, win, win.
