Are you so busy all the time that you wish you could clone yourself? Well you can! It’s called outsourcing, and it is the secret weapon of many businesses.
Outsourcing means you hand over tasks to someone outside of the company to do. Outsourcing is cost effective because you don’t have to pay that person benefits or give them vacation days.
They work on projects, or on a set schedule, or both, only when you need them. You don’t have to pay for their down time if things get slow.
Best of all, outsourcers, or freelancers, are often highly-skilled and specialize in one or two really essential tasks that you could probably not do as well yourself. For example, a freelancer who does Photoshop all day for a living is going to be way better at it than you could ever hope to be, so you will actually save time and money by hiring a pro.
Outsourcing is also ideal for adding skills to the mix that you don’t already have in house. For example, if you want to start making animated videos, there’s an outsourcer for that! What about professional-quality voice-over artists. You can hire them too!
And what about busy-work? An outsourced worker could take a lot of the repetitive work like customer service, social media and so on, off your plate so you can focus on the big picture and devote your time to generating even more revenue.
Want to launch a new product? A team of talented freelancers can make it all come together faster than you ever imagined.
If you’re dreaming of growing your business but don’t want to deal with a steep learning curve or high costs, it’s time to draw up a description of what you need done, and get ready to outsource all of your most important product creation tasks to reliable outsourced workers from the top outsourcing marketplaces such as Fiverr and Upwork.
