It’s not easy to be an entrepreneur, especially if you wish to succeed in such field. There are a lot of challenges as well as perks in becoming one. It does not only require time and effort as well as skills to be able to execute tasks that you need to accomplish at the end of the day.
But human as we are, there are things that we can’t do on our own. Sometimes, we need to ask help from others in order to share the burden and success of running a business. In the current time, many entrepreneurs have resorted to outsourcing in order to lessen their worries in running their business.
So what is outsourcing?
Outsourcing is an arrangement between two companies, working together in order to gain profits from both ends. It can also be an arrangement between two individuals working together in order to accomplish different tasks for a small fee. In the recent times, more people are choosing to work as freelancers in the virtual world.
Outsourcing some of the tasks for a small amount is beneficial for some entrepreneurs. It does not only save time and effort, but it also helps the businessman to focus on the bigger things without worrying about other low-leverage tasks.
When you opt to outsource, there are things that you need to consider. The are the following:
- which task are you not sure doing on your own
- These tasks are the ones that you often find yourself having second thoughts of doing.
- which task are you good at accomplishing
- These tasks are the tasks that you find easy and can accomplish successfully in a given time frame.
- which task are you bad at finishing
- These tasks are the task that you find difficult and take a lot of time to accomplish.
These three notions will help you decide which task you are going to let others fill for you. You need not be ashamed of it. Remember, it is best if we seek help rather than make wrong decisions that would become the reason why your business falls down. Every decision always counts in businesses. And having a great team is one key in order to succeed in the competitive business world.
Here three tasks that you might outsource.
General Virtual Assistant
GVA (General virtual assistant) can be a great help for you, especially for multiple businesses. They work like your personal assistant. That person can help you fix your schedule and emails. They can also do some administrative and blogging tasks as well as organize your files and data. It sounds very simple; however, this role is not easy. Your GVA will do the task that you usually do as soon as you start the day. The advantage of having one allows you to focus more on the job. Aside from that, having one allows you to have at least a few minutes for yourself to rest and unwind. If you are the type of person who is really bad at organizing and remembering stuff, then having a GVA is an advantage.
Web Marketer
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) plays a vital role in keeping a steady traffic on your blog every day. In the virtual world, it is very important that you are always on the trend to keep your business growing. However, it is not easy to keep up with the trends, especially if you are also busy with other administrative tasks, or simply you don’t know the ropes of web marketing. The job of the web marketer does the site analysis, webmaster and map submissions, keyword research for your blog content, competitor analysis and more. They can predict the trends in virtual reality as well as help your blog to become better and far more engaging as compared to others.
Audio/Video Editor
Audio/video editor also plays an important role in business. Audio and film editing are never easy. It does not only require skills, but it also requires knowledge in DAW or Digital Audio Workstations. From the name itself, the job of the Audio/video editor involves editing and polishing the audio or video in order to give it a more professional sound as well as make it high quality. This job requires patience and focus in order to get things right in one go.
