You have probably heard about the benefits of outsourcing some
of your business tasks. Maybe you would like to, but you just feel
you do not have the money to hire anyone. It may seem backwards,
but paying others to handle some of your business tasks will actually
make you money in the long run.

Take a look at the number of hours you are working on your business
and figure out which tasks are actually helping you to earn money
and which tasks are taking away from the time you could be spending
on more important things.

Think about how much more money you could be earning if you
spent all of your working hours on the tasks that make you money.
The truth is you cannot afford to not start outsourcing. The following
are tips for outsourcing your tasks when you do not have a lot of
extra money to spend on hiring others.

Start outsourcing your tasks slowly. Maybe you can hire a ghostwriter
to write a couple articles for you. That may not seem like much, but
those articles can be used on your website and distributed to article
directories, which can help bring in a lot of traffic to your site.

You can hire a virtual assistant to write and distribute a press release
for you. Which, again, can help bring in a lot of traffic for you.

Another option is to barter with service providers. If you are a
ghostwriter in need of a website, ask a web designer if she will
trade her services for articles.

If you visit a service-providers’ website and you notice that they
charge $15 per hour but you can only afford to pay $10 per hour,
send them an email and let them know your situation. If they know
that you plan on being a steady client, they may be willing to offer
you a reduced rate.

You can also contact your local high school or college and offer an
internship in your business. An intern is a student who is willing to
work for free in exchange for the experience. Depending on what
the student is studying, he or she may be able to handle administrative
tasks such as answering email and returning phone calls or highly
technical tasks such as web design.

As your profits increase, you can slowly start adding to the list of
items you outsource. Even if you add one thing per month, within a
year you will have gained a lot of time and maximized your profits.

Here’s another great video with some more resources where you can
find inexpensive yet hard working individuals that are willing to do your
outsourcing work for you.

I figured you might have some questions.

So instead of adding to the confusion I thought
I would create a 3 part series explaining a bit more
about outsourcing to let you know if this fits for you

As well at the end I have a great video resource for you

So just what is Outsourcing?

If you spend much time researching successful
home business strategies, you will come across
the term “outsourcing”.

This term refers to the act of paying a service
provider to complete a task.

Outsourcing some of your tasks allows you to
spend more time on tasks that earn you money. <= That's Good

Chances are you do not earn money by answering
your emails or updating your website. <= That's Bad

You more than likely earn money by marketing your website
and promoting your product or service. <= Again with the Good

If you currently spend 10 hours per week answering
emails and another 10 hours per week writing and
distributing articles and press releases, imagine what
you could do with those 20 hours if you hired someone
else to complete those tasks.

Many types of tasks can be outsourced.

Some of them include:
* Answering emails
* Returning phone calls
* Research
* Writing and distributing articles
* Writing and distributing press releases
* Bookkeeping
* Recruiting and managing affiliates
* Finding people to be interviewed for your podcast
* Finding joint venture partners
* Editing audio
* Transcription

Not only can outsourcing allow you to earn more
money, it can also allow you to save your sanity.

You are one person.

You cannot handle every aspect of your business and
have a personal life at the same time.

If you try to control everything, you will end up being
over stressed. Your business will no longer be something
you enjoy. And you may end up losing interest in it all together.

By outsourcing some of your tasks, you will be able to
have more leisure time and will be able to take a break
from your business. If you and your family decide to go
on vacation, you can leave your business behind for a few
days without worrying.

Your assistant will still be attending to your emails, your
marketing efforts will not suffer, and you won’t need to
carry your laptop with you at all times.

Start outsourcing one or two tasks at a time. As you
have more money to use toward hiring others, you can
increase the number of tasks you outsource.

You may also find that outsourcing will help you with your
motivation. Some people procrastinate when they have tasks
to do that they do not enjoy. By having someone else do these
tasks, you will find that you will be making more money, you
will have less stress, and you will have more passion for your business.

In the 2nd installment of this 3 part series I will go over

The “according to my stats, only (no.)% of the readers have seen this…” strategy tells your prospects it must be really good if you are telling them about it again and watching your ad stats that closely. You can tell them you don’t want them to miss it because it can really improve their life. It sounds like you really want to help them.

The “can I have your success story?…” strategy tells your prospects and/or current customers that you need testimonials or letters about the success they had with your product or advice you gave them. You can even tell them they can have their link underneath it to get free publicity. You could post the success stories on your web site or compile it into a free e-book.

The “thanks for your support and agreement…” strategy tells your prospects that tons of your customers stand up for how you do business. Sometimes as marketers, you get flamed by your customers, prospects or competition about how you do business and most of the time it’s a misunderstanding. You can tell your list about these situations and explain your point and most of the time, if it’s valid, they will e-mail you to show their support for you.

The “brand new and only $(no.)…” strategy tells your prospects that you are selling a new product for a very, very, cheap price. You can tell them that everyone else is selling it for way higher and even tell them the specific prices. You will be showing them that you want to save them money.

The “if you already own our product and haven’t used it to (your product’s benefit), then I know what’s stopping you…” strategy tells your prospects and/or current customers that they just need motivation and guidance. You could offer them free or paid consulting so they gain their desired benefit and purchase future products from you.

The “you can get a free month on my membership web site if you purchase through my affiliate link…” strategy tells your prospects and current paid members they can save some money if they purchase a targeted affiliate product through your link. If they were going to buy it anyway, it would be a waste for them not to buy through your link.
