This is one of those potentially contentious topics, but I'm going to wade in here.
I outsource a lot of my business.
There, I said it ... I am an outsourcing master.
I have 4 people that have worked for me full time for several years, and I've never met them.
I also routinely have between 2 and 6 temps that are doing "internet ditch digging" for me (link building, forum posting, list building... manual labor type jobs) on any given week.
Get out what you put in.
That old saying still applies. While you might not have to pay as much for off shore workers, it doesn't mean that you don't have to manage them. You need to still manage your business, it just means that many of the less desirable tasks are better outsourced.
Even internally, marketing is a good example. Who wants to enter business cards that you just collected at an open, or a party?
Photo Copy them, have them data entered for a few dollars (I pay 0.15cents per card) and do something more constructive with your time than typing in names (like maybe compose the "nice to meet you, don't forget to check out my blog" letter you need to send once they've all been entered into your database).
There are so many things that I now outsource, I can't imagine what I did before.
If you're not outsourcing now, or don't feel comfortable with the idea, I encourage you to check out a new course coming out.
There is a $1 trial on right now with it, so it's easy to try it and cancel if you don't like it.
The guys teaching it are very experienced internet marketers. I've worked with some of their other programs and have been very pleased with the results, so I'm confident that this one will be no different.
