Increase Leverage for Your Online Business by Outsourcing

Posted on December 21st, 2009 in Uncategorized by iptools  Tagged , , , , ,

The intent of leverage is to obtain the best advantage with the least possible effort. In particular, for Internet Marketers, that means highest return on investment with least personal involvement, and we can make this happen via outsourcing.

Previous articles described ways of providing leverage by 1) re-using, and 2) re-purposing content. In this article, we’ll address acquiring leverage by outsourcing recurring, or non-value-add work, and any work that simply isn’t a match with our unique skills, experience and/or nature.

Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman documented some interesting findings from more than 25 years of research by the Gallup organization - initially in their book, First, Break All the Rules: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently, and subsequently elaborating on those findings in later books. Two of their most important findings for internet marketers and home-based business owners are these: 1) Play to your strengths, not your negatives, and 2) Hire workers for talent.

The world of online business has a rather large learning curve and involves many different abilities. Unfortunately, few people are talented in all of those skills - and even those who are, may not be applying their available time and other skills to focus on areas that are relative weaknesses for them.

William of Occam, noted for “Occam’s Razor,” has stated: “It is vain to do with more what can be done with less.” As small business owners, Occam’s Razor has a big lesson for us relative to our own time usage.

Tim Ferriss, author of “The 4-Hour Workweek” is a terrific proponent of the use of virtual assistants to handle recurrent, low prioritiy activities or those for which he does not have either the time or inclination to perform.

Contrary to popular opinion, outsourcing is not restricted to the world of giant companies, but given the low cost of international VAs, even small, home-based companies can now afford to delegate many tasks to virtual assistants.

One task that many internet marketers choose to outsource is article marketing. Many see the value of article marketing, but either don’t like to write, don’t have the skills, don’t want to spend the time, so they turn over those writing tasks to freelancers.

Another task you might consider outsourcing to a virtual assistant (or call center) is the telephone and email follow-up required for lead generation and sales closings.

If you focus on your areas of strength, you can multiply your results, whereas, focusing on improving areas of weakness will, at best, result in only an incremental improvement in results.

Which is more important to you - the ability to multiply your results, or simply see incremental improvements?

Internet Marketing System -Save Time & Money

One of the quickest ways to get thousands of visitors to your website is from a Joint Venture – This is the method of partnering with other people and “doing a deal”.

In many ways, Joint Ventures (JV’s) are much like Affiliate Sales where someone else is promoting your website and enticing people to visit.

One very common Joint Venture is working with someone else operating in a related or the same niche. You “do a deal” with the other party whereby they will push your website to their customers, in exchange for monetary compensation, or some other form of payment.

Perhaps the deal is you do the same (push their product to your customers).

Perhaps the deal is they do some form of advertising of your product or services to their mailing list in exchange for you buying some advertising space.

Or it could really just be a simple affiliate setup (you pay them a percentage of sales made to visitors they have directed to your website). In other words you have an affiliate set-up and “offer” it to the other person, who then gets paid for each client who purchases something.

But this is only part of the picture. Once you have a decent mailing list and contacts, there are lots more you can do with JV’s.

For example you can join up with another person and build a new website selling new products and share in the profit (and costs). Perhaps you can JV with a “big name” Internet Marketer and get their endorsement of your product to use in promotional material.

How about doing a deal with a software developer where they do all the software development and you do all the marketing of the product and you both share in the profits.

There are a heap of ways that JV’s work, and literally no limit to the possibilities. Get creative!

What you do want to do is join some of the JV networks out there especially the ones that are well known to other Internet Marketers because your then going to get more “deals” that are likely to be relevant to your market.

Many people claim to be experts in the area of internet marketing tips. We suggest you do some careful research yourself first to get a basic understanding of this some important fundamentals.

The best JV networks I have found is unsurprisingly called the Joint Venture Network.

I like this site because it costs nothing to read through all JV’s. Only the person who submits a JV has to pay and that is a cost of $100 and targets literally 1000’s of people! This is a great way to get instant affiliates announce, a new product and the cost is quite reasonable.

As I mentioned though, you can browse all current JV’s for free if you wish. I’m a member and can vouch for it.

There is a special “one-time-offer” when you join to get some extra special deals as well and to change your membership type right up to Platinum where you get the ability to post “free” announcements every 30 days instead of paying $100 (this would be of use to the bigger marketer who is releasing new products on a regular basis). But you don’t need to do that, you can join for free and use it with paying anything if you wish.

Of course you do not need to join a JV site to find people looking for a Joint Venture. You can also just go direct to the source and ask your existing contacts, or pick up the phone and start calling. I just found it a lot easier to put the announcement out, and those who are interested contact me… Nice!

Or what about attending a major Internet Marketing event. I did this myself; in fact I attended the Singapore World Internet Summit in May 2007 for this very purpose!

Can you locate someone to exchange skills with? The process of doing this can build long-term relationships if done properly. Obviously anytime you are working with another person you need to make sure you build up a level of report and trust, and where possible and practical get an agreement in writing so both parties know exactly where they stand and what their obligations are.

This is of particular importance in the case of a joint ventures setting up a new site. In these types of situation you need to have a clear understanding of expenses (who is paying for them, who has the authority to “charge expenses” i.e. either or both parties), how the profits are to be used and shared (e.g. even split, profits left in system, or taken out monthly, etc).

JV’s can potentially be a massive way to increase visitors to your website!
