Getting over my fear…
I have been meaning to outsoruce some of my work for a while now. I have the means to do it (the money), but I got worried about how to go about it. Would it work? How easy would it be to set up a posting? Will the work be good enought quality?
I finally posted a job on a freelance website today. It is early days, but hopefully this will allay some of my fears. Article writing is not one of my strong points. I did it because it was necessary to get where I am today, and this would never have happened if I had outsourced my work from the start. You cannot tell someone how to write articles and get them to rank in the search engines if you don’t know the mechanics and techniques behind it. You only get that experience by doing it yourself; starting from the ground up!
Now my priority is to make the best use of my time. I am forever getting distracted (another of my not-so-strong points) and I procrastinate far too long about what makes a good article, when in reality the articles I wrote without thinking about it is pulling in far greater traffic that the ones that took be 2 hours. Now, with the resources behind me I can let somebody else take the burden and let me concentrate on the things I do well.
The bad points…
I have not come across any bad points to outsourcing yet, but the loss of control is a little unsettling. Still, if it really doesn’t work then I can always go back to writing my own articles.
It will also mean that that ticker at the top will be decreasing a little (until I start seeing more commissions that is). Not a bad thing, this is an investment in time and money.
Just one more thing…
I mentioned in my last post that the monthly price for Wealthy Affiliate will increase on June 7. The new monthly price, being introduced on 7th june 2010, is $97 per month, a BIG hike from the $37 per monthly currently charges. Whilst this is an incredible financial commitment, the resources available at Wealthy Affiliate University justifies the price.
If you want to grab the $37 per month price tag then you need to sign up BEFORE June 7th. It may well be the best $37 per month you ever spend
