Hi....I am new here (although I've been lurking around and reading the fabulous threads on this forum for weeks)!

First of all.....you guys are awesome and I'm so glad that I have found this community!

My question is regarding outsourcing.

I'm still going through the IM learning curve and will probably be doing so for a long time. I'm not a techie by nature so have a lot to absorb. To my surprise I am finding myself fascinated with this world. That being said, it has become very clear to me that I need to really take my time and fully understand everything involved in being successful at IMing. As I would like to start my business while still learning I am considering outsourcing. There are areas that I can see myself being very strong in and others....not so much at this point.

What are the most beneficial tasks to outsource in the beginning? I know this is a loaded question but I would really appreciate some input.

Thanks!

    It is a great time to start outsourcing when you first come into this industry. I wish i would have started a bit earlier myself.

    What you should be outsourcing is a hard question to answer when we don't know what you objectives are.

    Give a bit more information and im sure you can get some really good answers.

      You're right Jeff......it's a loaded question.

      My objectives are pretty basic at this point. Get a few websites and blogs up and running and get the traffic flowing. Learn, learn, and then learn some more. Build things up from there. And then hopefully start seeing some revenue.

      I know it sounds so simple and basic but, I'm looking to get a foundation set and go from there.

      Thanks.

        Let me slow you down a bit....

        You said get a few website and blogs going....

        Start with one....Get a website, Or a blog going. Start learning how to drive traffic to that one source. And how to convert that traffic to leads/sales..etc.

        If you take on too much from the get go, you are giving yourself a reason to walk away.

        I have been in this industry for a couple years now and have 1 blog and 3-4 other capture pages. thats it. And I only drive traffic to 1 blog and 1 other url.

        Don't let all the mumbo Jumbo get you caught up in tons of differnt things. Learn what is working with 1 site and implement that into another site.

        taking a step back even farther....Only use 1 traffic generation strategy to generate traffic to 1 site. Once you master that strategy and learn how to convert that traffic to sales.

        Rinse and repeat over and over again.


        HOpe that came out clear enough....

        But follow that and you will be golden over the next xxx amount of days/weeks/months.

        Hmm... exactly how do you intend converting the traffic you get into revenues?

        CPC/CPM? Selling your own products? Selling affiliate products? Providing your services? Selling the services of others? CPA offers? Building a mailing list of target viewers and buyers through squeeze pages then offering them your own products/services and/or the products/services of others as their affiliates? Membership subscription?

        Which of the 2010 niches below do you want to focus on?

        1) Recession
        2) Green Power
        3) Senior Market
        4) Discount Retail
        5) Education
        6) Parental Outsourcing
        7) Health and Wellness
        8) Texas
        9) Affordable Alcohol
        10) Pets

        What are your ideas for generating subniches and microniches of your selected niche/s with the highest online buyer activity?

        What are your plans in generating keyword ideas covered by those subniches and microniches which have high local (US and EU) and global monthly searches plus competing pages and domains which you can outrank in the search engines?

        What are your ideas re: content marketing and search engine marketing plans?

        What are your ideas re: sustainability, growth and expansion?

        Reckon you need to answer those first before selecting tasks to outsource then building sites and blogs and other stuff.

        Hope this helps.

    As someone who does too much of it myself, I'm actually inclined to believe that it is best to outsource everything right from the get-go in order to successfully develop an outsourcing business model. It'll be a bumpy road with detours and dead ends, but once you get a nice engine put together with lots of backups when certain providers don't deliver, it should work out nicely.

    First thing I've learned in outsourcing is that you'll get lots of people who seem to be great jumping in with both feet to help you (just like the f&*#*ng film industry), BUT who'll drift away from being useful to you just as quickly as they parachuted in. It'll take a while to find reliable providers who can consistently deliver satisfactory product/services.

    Now, internet marketing is a vast umbrella covering all sorts of online business styles and strategies. Just pick one (or you'll be running in all sorts of directs like a gopher running after golf balls for many different players).

    The best things to outsource are the tasks that are repetitive that you don't like doing.

      Jaq,

      Jeff gave you some great advise.

      IMO I would do exactly what he suggested. get one site up an rolling. Learn what it takes and how long it takes you
      Note which items you could get better at but, Most importantly, learn all.

      This way you can determine what you need to outsource and more importantly if they are doing you right.

      From reading online here and my own experience I find outsourcing content is usually one of that largest practices.
      I know I do it because it takes time. But I have written my fair amount of content.

      Regarding your recent question: Who to trust. I suggest once you determine what yo want to outsource then return and search the board for them. Look for feedback
      Then post a direct question like:

      I am thinking about using "X Guys" has anyone used them and what do they think?

      There are SO many ways and folks to outsource, I would go back to my original statement and say do it your self first

      Kevin
