Outsource Your Time To Outsource Your Needs

Outsourcing in the simplest terms to me means,
having someone or something else do it for you.

Makes sense.

I hear many people say I can’t outsource because
“I don’t have the money”… not true.

You might not have the money in hand but you do have
something that can become money.

If you want to outsource and don’t have the money,
trade! Outsource your time to outsource your needs.

Listen, I’m not interested in article marketing as
far as writing… Can’t stand it! But there is a
17 yr old young lady who’s father is a friend of mine
and she wants to be a writer. Oh how she can write. You
seen American Idol? Yeah she would be a contender if
the show was called American Writer.

Anyway, she’s not into marketing, is going to college in
the fall and we have got quite a partnership going.

I tell her what to research and write about, she writes the
article, slaps it into TheBestSpinner, makes about 20 variations
of the article, I pay her, I send the articles out to directories
and get back links.

See, this is outsourcing at the simplest.

I make enough money to pay this young lady $500.00/mo through
commissions from Clickbank, Commission Junction and I also pay
her by means of other ways I call trading.

I trade… I trade just enough to get what I want. Well written
articles that drive my sites to the top of the search engines
by using long tail keywords.

Here’s the deal for me. I don’t make enough money with this scenario
to pay her, say what! You just said!

I bet you thought I was going to solve your outsourcing problems
with my secret formula that will make you a million dollars a month
starting next week and here’s my site with my mansion and Lamborghini
and million dollar water view to prove it.

Did I forget anything in that spiel??

Oh yes, back to reality.

This way to outsource is obvious to many, but not to everyone. Outsource
in a different way.

If I make $500/mo on eBay, my writer is paid! If I referee in the sports
leagues in my area and make $500/mo she is paid. if I take a part time job
for $500/mo… Yes! She is paid.

Do you get the idea here I would rather do something else than write articles?
well your right, I would.

Now many will say this is wasteful, but for you, maybe it is helpful.

Outsource your time to outsource your needs.

I know what I want and what it will look like in a finished product, I just
don’t have the patience or willpower to achieve it, so I have someone else
do it for me and I pay them by doing something else that I would rather be
doing.

To me this keeps my mind healthy. I want to market and love the concept
enough to invest with John Thornhill and to be successful I need to outsource
article writing without taking money out of my pocket. So I trade time for
articles.

Figure out your needs and if you want to outsource to achieve them, then
outsource your time to outsource your needs if you don’t have the money.

Just one more thing. If your wondering, I write 100% of the content on this blog. No ifs ands or buts it’s all mine. C’mon, does this read like American Writer material?  :-)

  1. Hi Alan,

    You are perfectly correct, nobody can be good at everything. You are doing the right thing by outsourcing your writing if you are not comfortable with it.

    Writing is not a problem with me, it’s the techie stuff I can’t do and have no interest in, fortunately I have a great guy who does it for me.

    The blogs coming along nicely by the way.

    Regards,

    Bill

  2. Hi Alan

    Great looking blog, Alan and some thought provoking posts, keep up the good work!

  3. Interesting blog Alan, and all the better for being in your own words. My own blog was also 100% original until recently, when I used some PLR material for a marketing post which I found boring and didn’t want to write….It’s a short cut you might want to consider later.

  4. Hi Alan,

    You have the right idea. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Then you might wind up falling into the trap of “trading hours for dollars.”
    If you outsource the mundane activities, that’ll free you up to market your business more effectively.
    Keep up the great work!

    Best regards,
    George Nieves

  5. Wow Alan,

    That is fantastic. I am sure not too many people think like that. Thinking outside of the box just a small bit creates amazing ideas.

    I will have to find someone who is interested in writing as a career & “hire” them too. I am sure there are ways for me to figure out, ” How can I afford to pay for this service?” Most of us in this business would hope that our products or the ones we promote would pay for this type of service very quickly.

    You have put me on a mission, Alan!!!! Thank You! Good luck to all!

  6. Hi Alan…loved this post on outsourcing. Outsourcing…although I have done very little to this point has become my passion. I never thought of using your idea…but its a great idea and very valid!
    Creativity is the answer to outsourcing…especially when money is still an issue.
    Great stuff…I’ll be back ;)
