Have you ever thought about outsourcing work for your blog? Maybe the link building, article submissions or perhaps the research?
Whatever it is, there is somebody out there who will do the work for you, for a fee. And that fee might not be quite as much as you think it might be.
Outsourcing is something I have been looking into lately and I have decided that it is definitely one of the ways forward for me. The main reason I would like to do this is because of the time I don’t have during my working day to do all of the things I would like to do to move my business forward.
I wouldn’t describe myself as a professional blogger as most of my earnings don’t come directly from blogging, but they do come from websites I have created that generate a generous monthly income from the Google AdSense program and affiliate ads. In order for this to continue and to allow me to move into other areas (especially the development of The Blogging Academy), I have come to the conclusion that I need help to create content, generate links, perform research and do all of the other tasks that are needed to run an online business.
With this in mind I have signed up with oDesk (a site that brings together freelancers and people who are looking to outsource work) and I am seriously thinking of joining John Reese’s Outsource Force (aff) training program to find out all I can about outsourcing.
The course is being promoted using the tagline the “2 dollar per hour forumla” – and it’s true, it is possible to hire people to perform tasks for your business for a mere $2.00 per hour. However, I have advertised for article writers and found that anyone who is willing to work for $2.00 per hour generally doesn’t have a very good grasp of the English language, but if you double that amount and add on a little bit more, you can find yourself some writers who produce work of a very, very high standard. That said, there are plenty of people who are willing to perform tasks such as link building for $2.00 an hour.
The course isn’t cheap, but John Reese has an enviable reputation as one of the super elite online marketers and has come up with lots of great ideas over the years. This course is surely going to be no exception.
To get a taste of what the course contains you can watch one of the free pre launch videos John has created (in order to watch the video you will have to submit your email address).

If the course is too costly for you then take a look at the oDesk site as you can still learn a lot about outsourcing from that.
