| Outsourcing really is the key to the whole business model. If you want to be able to ramp up the number of sites you are operating then you will not have enough hours in the day to tend to all your daily tasks. This is where outsourcing comes into play. It is important that you develop a system for your business which allows you to carry out this duplication by getting someone else to do the work for you!
To begin with, once you have the money to spend, it’s usually smart to outsource product creation work. You’ll still have complete creative control, so you can guide the product to be what you want it to be, but you’ll save yourself tremendous time. And if you’re considering this approach, I suggest that you look into Elance (www.Elance.com) and dig around on the Warrior Forum (www.warriorforum.com).
You’ll need to post a job on the site so freelance writers can bid on it. For example, you might say something like this:
I need an e-book of 35-50 pages on the topic of [your topic].
I’ve created a basic outline of chapters for you to use.
You should use a casual style that will appeal to people in the [your niche] niche. Here’s an example of the kind of style I like: http://www.SomeSite.com/sample. The book needs to be in English, and I need a native English speaker to write it.
My budget is approximately $X.
I need the manuscript in Word format within two weeks. Once you’ve delivered it to me, I’ll be more than glad to give you positive feedback.
That’s a simple post that will get you some responses. When people bid, you can evaluate the bidders and choose the best one. Hiring somebody obviously costs money, but you can probably get a 35-50 page e-book for less than $500.
Here’s where you should be careful. You’ll probably get some low bids from people who really aren’t going to give you what you want. Don’t assume the lowest bidder is the best deal. Research that person at Elance.com and make sure they’re reliable, and that they have lots of positive feedback from other customers.
It really is that simple to have other people do all the hard work for you while you just watch the money roll in!! |
