Great post. I never really considered outsourcing until I read your article. How did you know when it was time to outsource? Where you worried about the quality of articles written? What did you actually do to increase traffic? Obviously, I am interested in your thoughts on this. The blog look awesome by the way.

All the best.

Excellent Post mate. It really is overwhelming to take control of traffic and constantly be on the ball. After a newbie is finished deciding a niche, creating a product around it and then creating all the techie bits such as the minisite, squeeze pages and what not, traffic is a mission of a different league. And most people get burnt out after the initial process only to be presented by another daunting challenge.

But outsourcing really is the key.

I have worked with freelancers a lot but when you become good with delegating tasks, specially ones that require constant man hours, the best bet is to hire someone full/part time. Not only does it relieve one with repetitive mundane tasks but it gives a whole new perspective of doing business online.

I have 2 full time employees on a trial at the moment and one will get a job and as soon as I feel I have got the hang of it, I am going to expand and then hire more people for other tasks leaving me to only concentrate on scaling my business and not exactly being a labor worker.

Tim Ferris’s 4 hour work week is a great resource if you read it. I think you’ll love it.

Talk soon mate
