Engaging professionals
There are a large number of internet professionals and internet companies who can be employed to take on part of your work load for you. In these times when we are all so very busy it is worth looking into out sourcing some of the more tedious tasks that are involved in maintaining a marketing website. If you have already become very successful and are finding it all a bit overwhelming think about the parts of the upkeep of your site that you either do not enjoy or feel you can better employ someone else to do and seek out a company that specialises in this type of work. There are people who offer the whole package from start to finish but probably far more practical are those that offer to take certain aspects of the work off your hands. Although you may at an early stage feel these are unneccessary costs, and some indeed appear quite expensive at this early stage of my internet career, eventually it will become apparant that passing some of the work over to another person is by far the most cost effective solution. Indeed the most successful of the internet marketers I have come across work with other people who take on some of the tasks for them.
Put yourself first, don’t waste time doing tasks you can ask someone else to do – I always say that about housework too…
Hi Mandy,
Nice post, I’m hoping that once I am able to turn over a nice profit within Internet Marketing I can indeed outsource so of the more tedious time consuming tasks. Until that time I shall persevere and stay as motivated as humanly possible.
”Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
Best of luck with the masterclass, look forward to working together some time in the very near future.

Hi Steve, I very much look forward to a working partnership with you too, thanks.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy
I like this post very much as it has given me some ideas to look into. I have come to the conclusion that running a website is actually two business’ 1 is creating and maintaining the site and the other is generating the traffice to the site. Trying to do both can seem a bit too much at times.
All the best with your site.
Hi Simon,
Yes, there is rather a lot to do, isn’t there! I’m sure we’ll all manage though.
Enjoy the journey.

Hello Mandy,
Thank you for your comments, and I am looking forward to working along side the other studends on the course. I was a little surprised to find out that there are quite a few of us!
Keep up the good work, your blog looks very professional.
Best Regards
John
Hi Mandy,
Glad that you found the tips on avoiding a scam helpful.
I love your “Where life begins” motto and graphic!
And Amen to outsourcing (one of my first posts talks about how I look forward to the day I hire a housekeeper)!
What is your ebay ID? I’d love to see your lamps. Looking forward to traveling more on this Masterclass journey together!

Hi Mandy,
Congrats on a lovely blog, I agree with you regarding the housework!I visit Norwich now and again as my daughter lives there.It is a lovely place so I can understand your attachment to Norfolk.We often talk about taking a boat trip on the broads.

Hy Mandy, Nice post well worth reading. I have to mention your Header which is the most remarkable that I have ever seen. Really striking. As a fellow Masterclass colleague, I have to tell you I am still struggling with mine. Dog’s dinner ain’t in it.
However the Masterclass course ” meets and surpasses all expectations” and I am having a wonderful time with it.
Best wishes for the future. Brian Ripley
Hi Mandy
I like your blog. I know what you mean about delegating tasks, it’s often surprised me that more people who run their own businesses don’t always employ people who are better skilled than they are to do the job in question. It takes a bit of courage to get past the fact that someone may take over the role. It’s got to be better to let the expert do it for you and in the end it’s definitely better for your business.
I’m looking forward to reading your future posts.
Happy Marketing
Cheers
Steve
Hi Mandy,
Once again thanks for visiting my site the other day. I am fascinated by your current business, the antiques shops. Do you sell antiques online or is it just the oil lamp glassware. I have a few antique items that should rally be sold and knowing the correct market place is the current stumbling block.
Point of interest years ago I spent many summers sailing around the Channel Isles, we sailed out from moorings near to Chichester. My current job, selling shoes, takes me to Southend on Sea (Leigh) and to Norfolk.
Love your site keep up the great work.
Regards, Steve.

Goodness me, links all round then Steve! And I actually sell pianos (as well as the lamp glassware on ebay) but the dealers in the centres sell all sorts of antiques.
Enjoy the journey.

Mandy,
Good job on your blog. I like the look of it and the articles are very interesting and informative.
There is a lot of truth in this article. We will all need help in certain aspects of our business from time to time. So outsourcing particular parts of our business makes sense.
Have a great day!

Hello Mandy,
Thanks for your comment on my site the other day, have had a few internet access problems this week so only just got to reply. I like your site and the ‘Engaging Professionals’ post. I had a comment from a mailing list visitor the other day saying he was looking to outsource setting up PPC campaigns so if you come across any sources of people with a bit of experience you could do a post and I’ll send him the link. It’s also a very valid post as I find I’m snowed under with work as I do a very busy day job also, so will eventually have to source (if I succeed as I intend to) at internet marketing.
Good luck

Hi Dave,
I guess someone in MC will know someone who can meet your need there.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy…some good information on how you can ‘outsource’ tasks that can be done easily by someone else such as article writing and submitting to start the flow of traffic to your site.
Looking forward to more updates…keep up the good work.
Ron
Hi Ron,
Thank you for your visit, I’m sure we can all work together to bring info into the group.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hi Mandy,
I like the idea of outsourcing from a work point of view, but I think I am going to do the work myself for a while so I can learn all aspects of the business.
I noticed your are having the same problem I did with the footer and the copyright info overwiting the graphic. I wrote a blog with the fix if you care to change your footer. http://www.jaylynne.com.
See you in class!
Jay
Thank you, Jay. I still haven’t fixed it!
Enjoy the journey.
