Focus On What You Love - Outsource The Rest
3 Comments Posted by Alejandro Reyes on April 4th, 2008 at 5:25 amThat just makes so much sense doesn’t it? Focus on what you love and outsource the rest. So many people wanna get too involved with every aspect of their business which is okay to a certain degree, but you can get SOOOO much more done by outsourcing.
Today you heard an awesome interview with Jeff Mills about some of the things he’s been up to and ya also heard how he made over $900,000 by outsourcing last year. Now that’s incredible.
I’ve spoken to a few people about that interview since than and everyone’s head spinning (thanks Jeff)!
My friend Justin Brooke (who I’ll be posting an awesome interview I did with him very soon) told me about a GREAT article about Outsourcing on Elance that’s called the “Top 100 Projects You Can Outsource.”
So if you’re unsure about what to outsource, this is definitely a great read to give you ideas. My advice is that you find one project, one task, anything to give outsourcing a “test.” I promise you’ll find that it’s definitely worth it!!
Here’s my top 5:
# 7. Blogs
- Get someone to help you with setting up a blog, you need a blog, BOTTOMLINE
# 6. Search Engine Optimization & Search Engine Marketing
- 2 reasons: 1. Can be time consuming 2. Might not be your skill set (don’t learn it, pay someone to do it for you)
# 80. Virtual Assistant (check out Agents of Value or Scriptlance)
- This is definitely a good idea. if you can build a trustworthy relationship with an assistant, this can GOLD! You can have someone help you with checking email, staying organized, keep your schedule so that you can focus on what ya love
# 36. Articles
- If you’re not a good writer or wanna pump out tons of content fast, getting someone to write articles for you is a great idea. I’m interviewing my friend Scott Foster next week from Need An Article and he’ll share some of the success stories of some of his clients that are using his services.
2. Programming
- If you’re not a tech guy like me and are running a website, you might need someone to update “stuff” on your website. definitely a good option
So what are your favorite “Projects” from the list?
