When you’re first starting out, it can be overwhelming the amount of things you have to start learning especially if you’re not familiar with basic coding, SEO, PPC and online advertising in general. At some stage you’re going to have to consider outsourcing some of the work, cos frankly there’s just too much to do for one person. Unless you’re quite happy working 14 hour days, 5 days a week, then don’t outsource do everything yourself. But, if you want to use your time more economically, then outsourcing the work is the only way way to free up some of your valuable time to concentrate on other areas of the business.

However, if you’re going to outsource, consider some of these points:
1. Only go for trusted providers, freelancers that you already have a relationship with, or come recommended.
It’s best not to go for an unknown worker, as all sorts of issues and problems might arise.

2. Choose someone mid-price. You don’t want to go for the cheapest quote, but something mid-range that suits your budget or slightly stretches it. It couldn’t be more pertinent with outsourcing: You Get What You Pay For,

3.Make sure your provider can speak/write a decent level of English before going ahead and hiring them

4. Set out the terms clearly and concisely. Make sure the provider knows exactly what you want from them.

5.Set deadlines. This way both parties know what should be delivered and when. Makes sure you have something in writing with them on these deadlines.

These are the 5 golden rules I like to adhere to. It can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience outsourcing, having an extra 2,4,6 pairs of hands will certainly takes some of the stress off and you can build your business up from scratch with the help of the right team. With anything some careful research and attention to who you are employing goes a long way.
