3 Tips for Internet Marketing Outsourcing
The amount of tasks that are a part of the smallest online campaign can be overwhelming sometimes. A lot depends on your marketing model and how you advertise your business, but no matter what there’s a neverending list of ‘things to do’ every day for all marketers. In this scenario, what can be really helpful is the act of outsourcing. Outsourcing allows the IM marketer to focus on those business activities that are directly related to earning money. But it can be a slow process because it takes time to put into place and actually see the results of your actions. Setting up your outsourced project and new hire will take longer than future efforts, and the more you do it the better and easier it becomes. Given below are some workable outsourcing tips for your Internet marketing business.
It’s an often seen practice to ask for samples of work, and outsourced help is used to it and expecting it. If the worker isn’t able to provide you 2-3 samples, then its better you look for someone else. As you know, you need to consider those who can sufficiently demonstrate some kind of previous experience.
There’s nothing wrong with asking for references, or testimonials, and do all you can to satisfy that the work they show you is original. There are odd situations when samples are not possible, but references are possible – so maybe have some flexibility. If anyone cannot provide you with anything at all, then never offer any sort of payment upfront. The bottom line is that it’s your decision, so choose wisely. It’s perfectly acceptable to have an outsourced person perform a test job, something small, before assigning anything major. You’ll want to do this before letting them handle something more involved. This is an effective way to gauge the quality of their work and other factors. For example, if you have to get 20 articles written every month, you can give this writer 5-10 articles first to test the waters and see he/she is good enough to hire for the job. Once your worker has successfully completed your test project, you can give them more responsibility and expand their involvement in the project so you spend less time managing this part of the business. When you’re comfortable working with them and see the quality is good, you can give them more projects in the future.
Most marketers outsource their copywriting, and many decide to outsource it after failing in their attempts to do it.
You might be a great writer but copywriting is a different ball game. Unless you want to take the time to learn copywriting, the best thing to do is bite the bullet and outsource it.
If you want to expand your business by a lot, then you’re really looking at the need to outsource. No question, it’s a pain to setup with finding the right people, weeding through those you don’t want, etc – but you will thank yourself for doing it after the fact. Remember, the way to build a business is to leverage skills that others possess.
