Building a Team - What areas should I outsource my business to?

4 replies
Though I am still working hard to build a foundation for my business, I want to look into the future and start building a team soon. For those who have outsource their business on a regular basis, what areas should I outsource? I am going to give you a little background about my business and how it is currently function.

about my business

As you can see from my sig, I am in the IM niche. Mine is a typical IM business and what I do is drive traffic everyday to my squeeze page and build a list. Subscribers will then receive invitations to my mini course and through that mini course, i sell them the products I have on offer.

what I want to do

I want to build 'departments' where each department will handle an area. so can anyone give me an idea how you build a team to run the IM business for you?

    If you want to do this, consider the marginal cost vs. marginal revenue. Your costs will go up for each worker but will each worker add additional benefit/revenue? This is something to think about....

    Make a list of all the things you do every day in your business and then put them in order based on what you love to do and what you don't like to do. That crappy thing you do every day that you don't like at the bottom of the list is the first thing you should outsource...

    Once you get that all taken care of go through the process again...

    Eventually you get all the crappy stuff outsourced and you will end up only doing what you love and what brings in the most revenue...

      Definitely outsource backlinks. Not only are they tedious for you to get, but there are some outsourcers on ODesk who know about backlinking more than I did. (and I knew a lot!)

      But it's tedious, time-consuming work that should definitely be outsourced.

        Cool...Would love to learn to do that. Do you have any resources where I can learn more about setting up a offshore team?
