As an entrepreneur, you’re going to be faced with having to wear many hats. It’s up to you to make sure that your business thrives. But trying to do every task yourself can be a mistake.

By outsourcing, you stand to gain more for your business than you’ll spend on the money it takes to pay for the outsourcing. You’ll be able to hire professionals who can do the task faster and easier.

This not only saves you time, but it takes the stress off of you since you won’t have to do it all yourself. You end up gaining more productivity because you’re freed up to focus on other areas of the business that only you can handle.

Plus, by outsourcing, you’ll experience faster business growth because you won’t have to wait until you complete each step of a project.

Aspects of Your Business You Can Outsource

Many tasks involved in running a business are time drains. You should outsource these tasks so that your time is freed up to concentrate on growing the business. You can outsource the writing for starters.

Whether you’re a good writer or not is irrelevant. Writing has the potential to take up a lot of time – and if you have dozens of writing projects you need to complete, you can spend many hours simply developing content that you have to have.

These are hours you could spend on something else. It’s faster and even cheaper to hire a writer. Some entrepreneurs worry about the cost-effectiveness of hiring someone to write their content for them.

But if you tally up what your time is worth and what you can potentially make per hour versus outsourcing the work, you’ll see that you come out ahead. Use a writer to write your eBook materials, to write your reports, your articles, your product descriptions and more.

Whatever you need written, hire someone else to do it. You’ll also want to outsource your graphics. It takes time to design the graphics that you’ll use in your business.

Even if you have experience in this field, you still might not be able to afford to spend the time it takes to create the graphics that you’ll use. Instead of tying up hours of your time designing them yourself, hire someone to create your graphics.

You’ll use graphics for sales pages, banners and buttons, and social media images. You’ll need logos, blog graphics, headers, add to cart buttons and the list goes on.

Every time you need something new, you don’t want to have to stop what you’re working on to create it. That can slow a project down. Instead, assign it to a graphics designer and keep on moving ahead with a project.

Research is something else that you’ll want to outsource. Looking up the information that you need can be a huge time drain. You’ll need to find facts and reliable sources.

You’ll want to read articles and sites that can give depth perspective. When you’re spending time researching, it can take multiple hours and in some cases even days.

You can’t afford to do that yourself because while you’re spending time researching, everything else that you need to take care of grinds to a halt. Setting up a site is another area you want to outsource.

Despite some sites’ step-by-step setup guides, it’s still going to cost you valuable time. Setting up a site can easily be a day or two project for you versus a couple of hours if you hire it out.

Tech details are something that you want to pay a professional to do, especially if you’re brand new. You can dig around behind the scenes on a site, mess up a simple code and crash everything.

Rather than trying to figure out the tech stuff, just let someone else take it on and save yourself the stress. When you work at home, you’re going to have to deal with customer service.

The good, the bad and the really ugly come out when dealing with customers. Not only can this drain your time, but there can be a lot of stress involved with handling the customer service side of any business.

Instead of letting that take up your time, outsource it to a virtual assistant (VA). You can also use a VA to help with SEO, your email marketing campaign, your social media, or to work on your blog.

A VA can send information to clients while you’re busy or out of the office. Many VAs specialize in different areas. You can find ones that have experience in whatever field you need.
