When I Should Outsource My Internet Marketing?

First you need to determine what your time is worth. For example, say you are currently working a job for your main income and you earn $25 an hour in that job. In your internet marketing business, you want to write an article that takes you 2 hours to research and write. That's $50 of your time. What if you could get 10 articles written by a freelancer for $50? That's a 10 fold savings in your time and money. You are getting 10 times the results by paying someone else to do something you may not like to do or are not efficient at doing. My point here is you have to realize your time is valuable. There are great outsourcing sites like eLance.com where you can post a job request and receive several bids from freelancers. Many marketers find certain freelancers that they like and often hire them over and over for various tasks. We all experience this problem in internet marketing at some time or another. The problem is not enough time to get everything done. We all have the same 24 hours in a day to work with and only a fraction should be spent on your business. The rest is for sleeping, eating, spending time with others, and for beginners to this, a main job. First off, what does it mean to outsource? Outsourcing in internet marketing can cover pretty much any part of the business. It can be article writing, making graphics and web pages, seo optimizing, blogging, ad posting, etc.
