Article Overview: Learn how to affordably outsource tasks you don’t like to do and where to find outsourced help.

Outsourcing-how to work less and make more.

Does this chart look like your business model?

• CEO=You
• CFO=You
• PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT = You
• ADMINISTRATOR = You
• BOOKKEEPER = You
• CHIEF MARKETER = You
• SALES MANAGER = You
• ORDER FULFILLMENT = You
• HUMAN RESOURCES = You ………………………………..

If so you have basically put a cap on how much you can earn and how successful your business can be. Yet so many small business owners use this model because they are afraid of either.

1. They can’t afford the help.
2. No one can do things as well as they do.

There was a time when I thought like this too. But when I started listening to mentors who’d made millions I came to realize that the only way to make a huge leap forward in my business was to get outsourced help. Outsourcing tasks is easier and cheaper than ever.

The truth about being successful is that you have 2 choices.

Choice #1 - Be kind of successful and work long hard hours

Choice #2 - Be insanely successful and work a couple hours a day

Now, give this some thought… which choice stands out to you as the clear cut winner here?

If you decided on choice #1 then you may just be a glutton for punishment and enjoy spending all day on your computer while sweating it out to make sure everything is done your way.

If you liked choice #2… well good for you, because that is the choice that will allow you to make more money - but even more importantly that choice will give you the time to enjoy your money.

So, how do you go about becoming insanely successful and working just a few hours a day? You leverage the skills and talents of others. Once I learned how easy and inexpensive it is to outsource, my life changed and my business soared and I want to share that knowledge with you.

And finally an expert at outsourcing, someone that has made millions by doing it, is going to reveal to you EVERYTHING there is to know about outsourcing your way to incredible success.

I’ve learned a lot from a young business success story, Jeff Mills. He transformed his own life from flat broke to Internet Millionaire by outsourcing, and he’s created an outsourcing resource guide and program that has saved me probably hundreds of hours.. Any small or solo business can win from these strategies and resources.

The number of tasks you can outsource inexpensively is mind boggling. Here are just a few:

1. Bookkeeping
2. Article submissions
3. Website maintenance and design
4. Bill paying
5. Blog and forum commenting
6. SEO
7. Research
8. Social network marketing
9. Graphic design
10. Direct mail campaigns
11. Product fulfillment
12. Sales calls

If you still think doing everything yourself is the way to go, then consider this… at some point you simply cannot do any more. At some point you just won’t be able to produce any more… and then where will you be? Best case is you’ll be profitable but stuck at a plateau. Worst case is you’ll burn out and send your business spiraling downward.

If you’re determined to create financial freedom in your business and your life, leverage the talents and skills of others to make more while working less!

Re: Cool site for testing online optimization technique - Thanks for sharing this great website the tests carried out on the site are very insiteful. Testing is one of the most important aspects of online marketing, but for many marketers they don't make changes and they wonder why it doesn't work. It's not enough just driving traffic but you should constantly make changes to make your traffic work harder and increase sales.
Re: Is This The Answer For A Busy Entrepreneur?? - Ive heard horror stories of people who hire freelancers and/or virtual assistants who aren't qualified. So, they can definitely be a great help, but make sure they are qualified to do the job. I was talking to a friend who has been working with a number of VA's lately and the low quality of their work was frightening. When that is the case, they make more work for the person who hired the and they make their employers look bad in the mean time. Chris

Chris[/quote:2a0lj2uv] That's why it's always best to start out with a finite project - perhaps 10 hours of work, just to see if the individual is good at their job - and if not, cut the cord! I think these days when it is so easy for people to find work through the internet at job banks such as Elance, the quality of work goes down because they don't have any training... but they don't charge very much, so they win the bids over those who want to be paid what their experience is worth...
Re: Dropped Out Of School To Startup! - If things don't work out you can always return to school. One is never too old to learn, in fact life is all about learning and growing and when you stop learning you start dying. If one avenue doesn't work out try another. Just make sure that you have make your best effort possible before giving up. MichelleJ
Re: What is the most effective way to change gears? - This is something I've always found easy to do Kevin, especially since I started working online. I tend to make a list in my head of all the things I want to get done when I get in from work and mentally cross them off one by one as I do them. I do this even with my chores, make the bed, wash the dishes etc. I usually get in from work, go through my 'list' of chores and then get on the computer and work on my internet business, it doesn't matter what time it is, I try to devote at least a couple of hours a day to my home business. It's something I enjoy doing and it tends to take my mind off everything else. Take care, Carol
