Brilliant Guidelines On Outsourcing And The Advantages Within Your Business
As a successful home-based service provider you will soon realize, if you haven’t already, there are not enough hours in the day for all the projects you could be working on. You also may have discovered that you don’t have the skills necessary to complete every task your clients – or potential clients – need.
You may have already turned away clients when your project calendar filled up, sent clients to a colleague or tried to meet their needs with disastrous results. Have no worries, it’s happened to the best of us, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with too much work, not enough time and there is a better way.
1. Give Some of the Extra Work to Subcontractors
By hiring subcontractors, you can increase your workload exponentially. For example, let’s say you schedule twenty hours of work in one week for two clients. By hiring a subcontractor, you can schedule in two more clients for another twenty hours of work that week.
While the subcontractor will obviously Charge for services, it will be less than the client is giving you, so you will have a profit to account for those extra hours, even though you didn’t complete the work yourself. You would simply oversee the work, make sure the quality is high enough and liaise with the client. In other words, you hand out assignments, inspect the work to make sure it’s up to standards and communicate with the client and with the subcontractor.
2. Bring in New Skills With Subcontractors
Think of how you could expand the services that you offer by finding virtual assistant subcontractors who have a certain skill set. For example, if you are a virtual assistant specializing in writing blog posts for your clients, you could hire a web design subcontractor to help those same clients set up new sites or change the design of existing ones. You can retain the client who is happy to work with you, while also expanding to meet their additional needs. Everybody wins, as there is more money for you, for the subcontractor and clients remain happy.
3. You Have Less Paperwork with Subcontractors
Subcontractors also come with a special set of benefits that you wouldn’t get from hiring employees. A subcontractor comes with her own office, her own equipment and her own training. She often is running her own service business and therefore has a stake in making a good name for herself – and for you. You won’t have to worry about the subcontractor’s taxes, their level of motivation or the number of hours that they work. They will normally have other clients as well and you will only need to worry about paying them for the actual work to be completed for you.
An employee, on the other hand, needs to be trained, provided with equipment and space to work. Most employees are trustworthy and motivated, but sometimes you’ll come across people who just want to receive a paycheck, whether they work for it or not. When you have established hours for your employee, you will need to pay her for those contracted hours, even if she is spending all her time on personal calls. In other words, if there is no work, you still have to pay the employee. Not only that, but there’s a lot of paperwork involved and you have to withhold taxes and pay Social Security and other things.
Growing Your Business with Subcontractors
Hiring virtual assistant subcontractors can be a relatively inexpensive way to grow your business quickly and efficiently. You all win as you get the additional help that you need and the subcontractor gets the work he or she is looking for.

Hiring An SEO Consultant – A Good Use Of Your Money?
The idea behind most websites is to provide information or to sell something. In order to do so, it has to be seen. We all know that the best way to be seen is to obtain a high ranking on the results page of popular search engines. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving a site’s ranking, and an SEO consultant can help you bump your site up the results page. So, how much can you expect to pay for an SEO consultant and is it a good investment?
There isn’t one standard fee that all consultants charge. You can expect to pay based on the services you need and how much help you are looking for. Many SEO consultants will charge a startup fee and possibly the first month’s compensation. You can think of it as a deposit on an apartment or on a utility like a cell phone or cable TV. A startup fee as high as $2500 might be demanded of a consultant who is experienced and able to construct an entire website campaign from the beginning stages to the end optimization. Much like choosing a cell phone minute package, you will decide how many monthly hits you want your site to experience. 50,000 hits garner around $800-$1200 per month. Over a million hits per month usually have a price tag in the $5,000 range.
Sometimes, a huge number of hits is not needed or desired and someone will look to an SEO consultant for advice or some touching up to a website’s ranking. Individuals and small businesses are probably looking more along these lines and might hire an experienced consultant hourly for about $400 per. Often, consultants ask that you sign up for a minimum number of hours as well. Newer SEO consultants might ask a lower fee, around $150 per hour. If a consultant is asked to perform onsite services, the onsite fee runs about $150-$200. Travel and lodging is paid for by the client. Sometimes the onsite fee is forgotten if travel and lodging is fully covered. Better consultants may forego an hourly rate and charge a flat daily rate of about $1400.
Answering the question of whether an SEO consultant is a good investment or not is rather subjective. If you can afford it and want a full on blitz of traffic to your page, then it is probably a very good use of money. Higher search engine results acts as a sort of advertising, so paying a consultant can be looked at as an advertising campaign. If you are a smaller business or serve a niche market, you may find that increased rankings still don’t reach as many people as you like and that hiring a consultant takes out more funds than you are bringing in.
An SEO consultant can expose a website to a larger number of people. This is important for those who want more traffic flow to their site. If you want the exposure and can handle it, an SEO consultant might be a good investment.

The Death (Or Redefinition) Of SEO Discussed
Some people would have you believe that search engine optimization is a dying art, and depending on how you define SEO, that may be true. But at OMS 2010 in San Diego, Greg Jarboe, the president and cofounder of SEO-PR, explained that other definitions of SEO make it very much alive.
Heres the thing: as Jarboe admitted, The era of ten blue links is dead. People also cant expect to optimize a page by just changing keyword metatags anymore. Indeed, much of what so many SEO experts learned ten years ago has become irrelevant.
The trick is that expanded search, which can be defined as search wherever it happens, is now important. Facebook, eBay, and YouTube users all perform searches, after all, and their attention is valuable. So Jarboe concluded, If you focus on those kinds of fundamentals, then SEO is alive and kicking.
