2. It takes time to reach success with online marketing and there's really no
way around it.
However, one of the best things you can do for yourself, is outsource your
work to leverage your time.
Small tasks can easily be taken care of by
someone else so that you can focus on other
areas of your business.
Learning how to do this is not difficult at all
although most people believe that it takes a
lot of time to find a good outsourcer.
If you look in the right places, it's really not that
hard to find someone online who can write articles,
a copy, submit to directories, build a site,
do graphic design, and many other different services.
There are several options available to find a reliable outsourcer. Here are a
few ways to find somebody worth hiring:
3. Fiverr
Fiverr is a great place to start. You will find many people offering all sorts of
services for only $5. It can be anything from passing out flyers for your
business to providing you with Facebook fans, and almost anything else that
you can think of to help your business.
I would suggest looking at the ratings and top sellers for the service you
want. Most times, the first three on the list are your best bet to choose from.
Keep in mind, nobody wants a bad review. If you are not satisfied, try to
work it out with the seller.
Craigslist
It really doesn't matter what you're looking for, you can find a great
outsourcing with Craigslist. When you are dealing with classified ads, you
can write about
4. what you're looking for and what your requirements are. It's best to be clear
and precise so that you weed out people aren't qualified for the task.
You might even get a heavy response so be prepared. Use Blogger or
Google Sites to create a web page. Use Google Drive to create a form with
your most
important questions. Put this form on the site you created, a brief description
of what the job entails, and drive the traffic from Craigslist to your site.
Guru
Guru.com works a little different. You can post a job just like you would on
Craigslist, but this site allows only outsourcing work to be offered.
Guru.com is very much respected in the outsourcing industry, and you will
more than likely find a great outsourcer from this site. Once you find the
right person who can outsource your tasks online, then you can give them
what you're in need of. Once again, make sure that you are precise in what
you're looking for in their services.
5. Odesk
Odesk is huge. I've had my ups and downs with Odesk but overall
it is a good outsourcing site. You may have some huge projects
that need to be done such as website design or virtual assisting.
There are some outsourcers on Odesk that will charge as low as $2
an hour for their services.
Most of them are willing to work out a price depending on what you
need to accomplish. You can also keep track of their work in
progress by viewing the work diary that is set up from start to finish.
I would suggest interviewing each applicant first to make sure they
are a right fit for the job.
Outsourcing doesn't have to be difficult, but you will have to try
people out before making a final decision on who you like.
Sometimes it can be hit or miss, depending on the task and clarity
of work given to the outsourcer.
Some people will not do the best job, and if this happens, move on
to the next one. Don't stop until you're satisfied.
