You have heard that outsourcing is a great way to grow and scale your business (that’s true). And while you would like to get started right away, maybe it all seems a little overwhelming. Perhaps you are not sure where to start or what steps to take to get the process rolling.
Good News!
You can get started with outsourcing in just four easy steps. Read on… 😉
–> STEP 1: Determine Your Needs
Your first step is to figure out what to outsource. Ask yourself these questions:
– What jobs do you need done? Here you need to evaluate all the areas of your business – including: research, writing, purchasing, shopping, graphics, prepping, packaging, etc. Then draw up a list of jobs you have in each of these areas.
– Is it cost-effective to outsource? First attach a dollar figure to your time (such as $50, $75, $100 or whatever your time is worth – don’t UNDERvalue your time!). Then figure out how long it would take you to do a particular task. Next, multiply the hours it takes you to complete a task by your per-hour worth.
EXAMPLE: let’s say your time is worth $75 an hour and it would take you two hours to create a graphic – that’s $150 of your time… when you can use a service like Fiverr and get it done for under $20. If you can find someone to do it for less, then it is indeed cost effective to outsource a task. The question is – how much of your time does it take to prep and ship? 😉
