Obviously, when it comes to setting up an online business or even an internet marketing strategy for your business, you and/or your business team that you work with currently don’t know everything and certainly you don’t want to know everything. So if you want to implement part or all of what we have been discussing in this report, then a great place to get fast results and with minimal time from you, is to outsource.
“Yes, but Tim this will cost me money” I hear you say. Yes, it will cost you money, but let me give you a reason why it is sometimes better to invest money in outsourcing, rather than save money doing it yourself. Firstly, you can’t know everything, so learning how to do all this and implement yourself will take time.
Secondly, you should put a price on your time. Let me explain. If your hourly pay rate is say $40.00 an hour. If you take 10 hours to learn how to setup an email database and link this to auto responders, even if you do this in your “spare time”, this effectively costs you $400.00. What if you could get someone who had the skills to be able to do this for you? They have the knowledge and skills already, so they get it done is 3 hours.
Assuming you paid them exactly what you would pay yourself; you would pay them $120.00 – effectively saving yourself $280.00 of income producing time for yourself. But, generally, you won’t have to pay this rate – it will generally be more like $15-$25 / hour, depending on the work you want done. But that means it is only costing you $45.00.
So outsourcing lets you work smarter, not harder. Greater leverage for your time and producing greater results with less and less effort. Sounds like a good deal to me.
