How Outsourcing Saved My Life!

I have been working on the launch of my new website which includes working with the web designers on the creative aspects and writing the content that needs to go into the site. It has taken over my world!

So much goes into launching a website:

• Selecting and registering a domain name and hosting company
• Developing the creative and creating the brand
• Writing the content, welcome messages, sales pages and free reports
• Set up the autoresponder system to automate the process
• Create the service and products you are offering
• Creating and setting up an ezine and managing lists
• Writing articles and submitting to directories
• Setting up merchant accounts, gateways and shopping carts
• Creating and setting up mini product sites to support new product launches

In addition, I am creating a membership community of small business owners to collaborate and share ideas for future business success and creating various levels of membership. To bring value to my members I am in search of free materials, whitepapers and special reports to offer members for download, I am in search of mentors to coach new professionals and joint venture partners to conduct teleseminars to my members.

Lastly, I am creating a personal brand using social media and interacting on sites such as Linked In, Twitter and Facebook.

Needless to say, there is not enough hours in the day. I sell outsourcing for a living and it never occurred to me to outsource parts of my life and it was the best decision I have ever made. I hired a virtual assistant - Nancy.

Nancy handles most of the administrative tasks for my business and in the two weeks we have been working together and I feel like a big weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. By hiring Nancy, I am able to focus on finishing my products while she focuses on setting up the business.

How wonderful! If you need someone to help organize your business or your life, I would recommend hiring a virtual assistant.
