Advanced Tools For Online Marketing Part 1

Do you ask for help when you do not have the time to finish all of your tasks of online marketing? If so, who do your ask that you can trust? To help you answer that, we are first going to learn about the problem, then we will answer the questions.

So, you have been marketing online for over a year and you are now so busy following up on leads that you are running out of time to do your marketing. Well, you cannot stop doing what is working, you cannot ignore what got you where you are. So, now what are you going to do?

You started this business so that you could have extra time with your family. But, now all of your time is spent trying to keep up. The good thing about having all of those leads coming in, you should be making money! So, now you have a decision to make, is it time to start out-sourcing?

Outsourcing often refers to the process of subcontracting to a third-party. While outsourcing may be viewed as a component to the growing division of labor encompassing all societies, the term did not enter the English-speaking lexicon until the 1980s. It has been perceived in negative terms when seen as international outsourcing of jobs. But, what we are talking about here is a way of streamlining all of the tasks that an independent entrepreneur has to preform to succeed in their business.

Let’s take a look at a few of them:

http://www.elance.com/

Elance is a great way to get your work done. You will find quality experts and you only have to pay for results. Elance is an easy, cost-effective way to help you become more productive.

http://www.guru.com/

There are over 1 million members at Guru.com. It is actually the largest online source for freelance assistance and they focus on quality freelance services. They are proud to be noted as experts with a proven track record. They work very hard at talent-to-project matching and business performance improvement.

http://freelanceswitch.com/

FreelanceSwitch is a community of expert freelancers from around the world. If you have a job that you want done, just post that job on the free job ad board. They have professional designers, bloggers, photographers, illustrators, as well as, many other freelancers. Just post a job and you will be contacted.

This is and update to the original post:

http://www.odesk.com

Once I submitted this post, it was brought to my attention that there is another valuable resource for outsourcing. Odesk.com lets you select professionals based on work history, portfolio, feedback ratings, and test scores. You pay only for time verifiably spent working for you! They have a unique Work Diary where you can see that the time billed is time worked and of course you only pay for time verifiably spent working for you. It’s also secure, accurate and safe.

So, if you are at the stage in your business that you are feeling the need to relieve some of the stress of over work, I am sure that you will be able to find some help from these service providers. The cost of using them at first, maybe a little painful, but the benefits of higher productivity and lower stress will certainly out weigh that pain!

Keep your eyes open for the next post on this subject, where we are taking outsourcing to the next level.

Let me know if you are using any of these sources and how you would rate them by leaving a comment below.

Here’s to your success,

Kathy

  Kathy,
  
  Each time I think about outsourcing, it's always one of those tasks that's on the back burner.
  
  After reading your post here, I now have a little more clarity as where to go.
  
  Thanks for the helpful hints.
  
  God Bless,

  Outsourcing Resources HeLp! is hard to find without some good, solid recommendations like these Kathy! Thanks…nnIn the past 3 months I’ve joined the lists of many top marketers and I’ve purchased, learned, applied, and tested a whole bunch of techniques to better and more rapidly market my name and my brand online, but only a few have panned out. nnMost recently I saw a recommendation for a company that makes the fancy little pictures of products you produce and the company designs a CD / DVD cover template and then mass replicates the CD / DVD covers and logos as if your digital product is now a hard-copy product. It’s called e-Covers.nnAnyways, thanks for the pointing me in the right direction Kathy!

  What sources have you used and how would you rate them? If they are good then I need to do a revision of this post to make sure I get the good ones out there.
  Thanks
  Kathy

  Bert, thanks for the other source, I will put that with the other ones and may do a revision. How would you rate odesk? How did you find it? I sent this on to Paul because he was interested in outsourcing.
  
  Thanks for your comments,

  Kathy,
  
  I use Odesk.com. You go in and post the job you want done and you will receive bids from multiple people. You then choose the ones you want to interview and then give the job to the one you like the best. I have gone through two or three people to get to one I really liked. There is a rating system and comments from people that have used them before.

  Thanks for posting this information, it is so helpful to know where to go when it's time to use some help, especially when you are trying to run a family and a business at the same time. I can't wait for the 2nd part.

  Kathy,
  
  Most people don't understand that if they are doing everything… you're just self employed and NOT really running a business. ALL successful business owners outsource or have staff.
  
  Those are all great resources for outsourcing!
  
  Thanks again,

  What’s so helpful about this? Well, as an Internet marketer, we’re always trying to market to as narrowly and well-defined an audience as we can. The more specific the audience, the more that we’re going to want to hone in on “more of the same.” The nice thing about UCmore is that it not only serves you “more of the same,” but it does so in such an unobtrusive way.
