Hi, it's Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and welcome to the dedicated channel where I help you
with outsourcing, automation and creating the lifestyle that you desire. In today's
video, I want to give you 5 top tips that I recommend to help you with outsourcing and
these 5 tips are very simple, practical tips that you can take. All right, let's just jump
straight into it.
The first tip is that I want to share with you is just make sure that 1, you defined
exactly what you want to do and what you what this outsourcing person to do for you. That's
what you need to really sit down and think about. A lot of times, when I speak to people
they go I need to find someone full-time to work for me. And I go oh, what do you need
to be done? Then they go oh, I need to do Wordpress installations, I need them to check
my emails, I need to do all that kind of stuff. But that's not really defined, that's actually
just generally everything that you need to be done. What I recommend you do is to breakdown
each individual process and have a look at it. If you need someone to do programming
for you, find a programmer. If you need to do just administration, find someone who's
a virtual assistant. So just really define specifically what tasks that you need to be
done. Then that way from there onwards, you need to just figure out whether or not it
needs to be outsourced or can it be automated with a system or something that's in place
that doesn't require any additional payments or income out of your business. All right,
so that's the first point.
Second point I highly recommend is obviously once you defined what you want to do, go out
and find the right people to be able to outsource to. And, a lot of times I see a lot of people
who jump over to eLance, oDesk, Rentacoder and all those large websites. Nothing wrong
with that if you are looking for contractors just to do one-off jobs. But in my opinion,
I highly, highly recommend you look for people who work full-time or part-time for your business.
The reason why I recommend that is because 1, once you teach them and train them with
the right skills, they're going to be there for a while and they're not going to run away
or do something else, you know work for someone else's business. I recommend doing that because
you basically retain their skills because you don't want to spend all the time training
them, giving them all the systems, giving them all the tools that they need to be able
to setup whatever you need them to do and then suddenly the job's finished, they runoff
or they take off or finish that. And that's what happens with most contractors whereas
when you have someone full-time, they'll just complete the work and continue to work with
you, and get to know your systems and really commit to your business and even back you
up whenever there's downtime from you. So that's the second point I highly recommend
is just to make sure you look for full timers or part timers. There's plenty of websites
I also recommend on my blog as well, too that shows you where to find them.
Now the third point I want to share with you is to make sure that once you've got these
people in your business, make sure you have plenty of good training and spend at least,
at least a good fair amount of time. Usually, for people who are starting out I recommend
spending at least a good month to provide them with all the systems, the training, and
making sure that they're feeling comfortable knowing your whole business because ultimately,
you're investing the time you're putting into them for your business. They're an asset to
your business so I highly, highly recommend you train them and spend good fair amount
of time. A lot of people I see unfortunately, they hire someone and expect them to just
takeover and run the business straightaway. It doesn't happen like that, you need to invest
your time to train them. So that's the third point I recommend.
Now the fourth point is make sure you have a good, good system in place. What I mean
by that is to have a project management system that manages each and everyone of your employees
even if you're starting with one of them or your virtual staff but make sure you have
everything centralized and put into one system. The reason why I recommend that is because
once you have the people and all your resources all located in one system, everyone can access
that at a central location not having to flick back through emails, looking through data
trying to find things, not going to find documentation, all that kind of thing. If you have one project
management system setup, you have all your usernames and details logged in there. You
have all your training videos put inside, you keep all your projects managed there.
It's all in that one place and it just makes life so much easier and furthermore once they're
working for you full-time and commit to your business, they just use that system and they
don't even have to talk to you. All you need to do is log in and see what they're doing.
So it's a really, really good way to keep track on what's going on and keep your projects
running day to day. So that's my fourth point there.
Finally, my fifth point is just to make sure that you pay them. Pay them, pay them, pay
them on time. I know I'm emphasizing this quite heavily but if I were in this position
of actually working for someone and I sent my invoice over them and it took them one
month to pay the invoice, I wouldn't be working with them. So if you can and ensure you need
to, just pay them on time. So if they sent an invoice, just pay them straightaway. Don't
delay, don't put it off, just pay them on time and make sure things go smoothly. And
that way they know that they're secure in the job that they're working for you but also
too, they're going to be able to be rewarded as well for their work because once you've
done all that work, you want to get paid. So that's something I highly, highly recommend.
That's the fifth point, the most important point I think out of all these you can take
away.
All right, I hope that these outsourcing little tips that you've taken, the 5 tips that I
recommend today are going to be useful and practical and if you can, just take away and
start implementing them if you are looking for that position to outsource right now.
