Are you skill poor? Then outsourcing might be a good idea.
Outsourcing costs money that’s for sure, but if you’re smart about it, it can make you a lot more than you spend, it can reduce stress levels, it can make operations run smoother and it can stop you from getting paint all over your fur! And those are just a few of the benefits of outsourcing.
The following six reasons help explain more about why businesses need to outsource.
You Can’t Do it on Your Own!
Unless you are a one-man band such as a sole trader or writer, most businesses require other people to grow. To get more out of what you’re doing usually requires other people with other skills, talents and ideas.
It’s Cheaper!
Unless you want to go to the expense of hiring full-time staff and paying superannuation, holiday and sick-pay, then it works out considerably cheaper to outsource the work by using geo-arbitrage: that is, you get the same services performed to the same desired outcome cheaper with overseas consultants and virtual assistants.
Are You Time Poor?
Many people start a second business when they already have a 9 to 5 job, so that they have some guaranteed income coming in. That means they just don’t have the time necessary to put into doing the day to day tasks such as writing, responding and developing. They need to put all their remaining time into driving the business forward and managing it, not wasting time on tasks that can be easily and relatively cheaply outsourced.
Are You Skill Poor?
Even if you have the time available, it’s highly unlikely that you have all the necessary skills to run your business completely effectively. Whatever the type of online business nowadays you normally require graphic design, programming, copywriting, SEO, marketing and financial skills at the very least. The things you can’t do need to be outsourced first. Then you can concentrate on those things you don’t like doing.
Greater Efficiency & Effectiveness
Placing other skillful people in the right positions via outsourcing will bring greater efficiency and greater effectiveness to your business. This is common sense. Many times you can be a bottleneck that reduces efficiency, without even realizing it.
Take The Load Off Your Shoulders!
Smart outsourcing will reduce the stress you may experience from holding down a job and running a second business. Getting the right people into the right positions and allowing them the responsibility to manage things, but with some checks and balances there for you to oversee, can be a great stress reliever!
