Welcome Back!
If you have followed my blog you will know that one of my favorite topics is outsourcing companies.
I think if anyone has spend any significant time with online marketing, affiliate, marketing, network marketing or anything related, they know that once they get the ball rolling there is just so much work to be done and outsourcing companies can be a great help in pay a small amount of money for a lot of great help.
Afterall there’s so much to do and outsourcing companies can help:
- the search engines like fresh content
- and wp blogs need maintenance
- updating plug ins
- updating versions of wp
- updating affiliate links especially if you use affiliate programs like amazon.com where products are constantly being up to date
- updating content based on keyword effectiveness (I just made that up…) but what I mean is that (if) WHEN you check your stats, you need to follow up on keywords that are effectively bringing traffic to your site.
- creating new web properties (web 2.0 or wp blogs)
- site promotion and on and on…
By using outsourcing companies many of the smaller tasks can be taken care of in record time and with low cost.
I have used outsourcing companies to:
- build out the header for this site
Now could I figure out how to do all this on my own without outsourcing companies… but if you are in any type of online marketing “for profit” then you need to find ways to put the bulk of your time in “income generating activities”. Although I like for my site to look good and the nice header is a part of that. If I spent 10 hours tweaking my header to get it just right (which is about how long it would likely take me because that is not really in my skill set) then all that time could have been spent writing content or promoting my existing content.
Don’t let the money involved in outsourcing companies scare you… I found a great site… and no this isn’t an affiliate program… I’m just sharing here from the heart, called fiverr.com. I have been using them for ages and I recommend them all the time and they are one of my favorite outsourcing companies.
Every job is $5 and if you shop around a bit… sometimes you can find twice the job for the same amount… meaning…. I found someone who promised to write an ezine quality unique article for me for $5 with a 3 day turnaround time. Well, this isn’t a bad deal if it is a quality article and not something they stole and pumped through a spinner…But I bumped around a bit and found someone who would write 2 articles for $5.
Matter of fact there are plenty of outsourcers that would charge more twice as much as this… And if you think about it, if you have an outsourcer write you one article for $5 for one amazon product let’s say, that retails at $125 (with the lowest commission point (4%) you would only have to sell one item to make your money back.
And goodness gracious, you’re going to sell more than ONE if you follow my tips so wasn’t that money well spent if you saved 5 hours researching and writing that article?
I think so,
So the moral of the story is that you need to keep in mind the importance of reinvesting in your business and using outsourcing companies is a part of that…
So let’s say you sell 3 of that $125 item… take one of your $5 commission deposits and have an outsourcer write you 2 more articles…
And then rinse and repeat!
I can keep from shouting from the rooftops when it comes to outsourcing. Please check out my updated Squidoo lens on outsourcing:
