Time, as they say, is money - and as a small business owner, your time is best spent on tasks that generate revenue and grow your business. Many business owners are reluctant to release the reins and hand over even the smallest aspect of their enterprise to a contractor or freelancer, but the truth is that outsourcing can be a complete changer for your business. It not only saves you time, but also enables you to make more money and a greater impact on the world. With that in mind, here are five tasks you can - and should - outsource.
#1 - Accounting
Outsourcing your accounting will not only save you time and a huge amount of stress, but it can also add value to your business in several ways.
First of all, a quality accountant will be able to transform your business to become more tax-efficient, saving you a lot of money.
They will also be able to advise you on how to grow your business in a sustainable way and help you make more informed financial decisions, enabling you to become more profitable.
Having accurate financial records is essential for any business - large or small - so that you can make sound strategic decisions about where to allocate your resources. You also need to make sure that there are no mistakes on your records or returns because this can result in hefty fines!
To sum it up, outsourcing your accounting is a no-brainer.
#2 - Social Media Management
Even if you consider yourself fairly social media savvy, there's a huge difference between casually scrolling through Instagram and developing a highly targeted and effective strategy that will grow your brand and generate leads and sales.
If you're not using social media to its full potential, you're missing out on a huge opportunity to reach new customers and grow your business.
Outsourcing your social media management to a qualified professional can help you develop an effective strategy, create high-quality content and establish a strong social media presence that will enable you to make more sales.
#3 - Copywriting
In order to market your business, you need ads, sales pages, blogs, ebooks and so much more... but writing all of this is incredibly time-consuming.
On top of this, the truth is that most of us just aren't born writers. If you want to sound professional, then it's worth hiring a copywriter.
A good copywriter will be able to capture your unique voice and create compelling content that sells. They can showcase your expertise and convey to your audience why you are the right choice for them.
If you're not a natural writer or you simply don't have the time to write, then outsourcing is a great solution.
#4 - General Admin
Admin is 100% necessary but it's a low-value task and it's very time-consuming.
As a small business owner, your time is best spent on tasks that generate revenue and grow your business - not on menial tasks like scheduling appointments, bookkeeping, data entry or customer service.
Outsourcing your admin to a qualified virtual assistant can save you a lot of time and allow you to focus on the tasks that will actually grow your business.
Best of all, there are many virtual assistants out there as the popularity of remote work and a "digital nomad lifestyle" is rising.
They offer flexible contracts so that you only pay for the hours you need, rather than forking out for a full-time staff member.
#5 - Graphic Design
Creating high-quality visuals is essential for any business but if you're not a natural designer, then it can be a real struggle.
Outsourcing your graphic design to a professional can save you a lot of time and help you create better quality visuals that will capture attention and convert into sales.
A good designer will be able to understand your brand and create visuals that communicate your message in a visually appealing way. First impressions count, and it pays to look professional.
Final Thoughts
Outsourcing really can be a game-changer for your small business, so if you're stuck in a DIY-mindset, it's time to change your thinking. Not only does outsourcing save you time, it can also create better quality work and help you to generate more revenue whilst enjoying a healthier work-life balance.
