Why Outsource - Replace Myself

Replace Myself

6 months ago, I had been feeling overwhelmed. There was so much work to be done – article writing, web design, search engine optimization… I couldn’t keep up.

I found this site through friend’s blog, called Replace Myself.

Replace Myself gives you all the resources you need to start outsourcing your work. Everything from article marketing to link building to web design.

Replace Myself teaches you how to outsource to the Philippines. They provide everything from project tracking software to video tutorials. The big benefit though is that they train your staff for you!

So if you know you need article marketing – find a writer and then let Replace Myself train them.

If you need web design work done – find a designer and let Replace Myself train them!

It’s a beautiful process.

Replace Myself even gives you exclusive access to a Philippines job board where thousands of workers place their resumes and job experience.

In terms of hiring from the Philippines, I’ve had amazing success. The team members I’ve brought on speak perfect English, work while I’m sleeping and work for an incredible wage (by US standards). Usually, you can find a designer or a writer for as little as $150 a month!

The greatest benefit outsourcing is the fact that you are able to get a lot more done in the same time each and every week, oftentimes at a reduced cost! When I first started outsourcing, I was trying to do many, many things at the same time. I was doing Internet marketing, content creation, building websites, search engine optimization, and all of those things that really would keep an entire TEAM busy.

Well, I didn’t have a team at the time. I was still trying to answer the question ‘Why Outsource.’  I was trying to grow my business. Nor did I have the extra money to pay for somebody full time with any education or experience to help me! What I needed to do was try to find a few people offshore so that I could take the time to actually grow my business.

So, for me, the biggest benefit outsourcing was the fact that I can get things off my plate easily. If I have a thought, I can just send an e-mail or update a task list and those sorts of tasks just get done.  Rather than me having to plan out action steps and try to go find somebody to do it, whether I’m going to Elance or Renacote or whatever.

Probably the best benefit though – my new outsourced team, they get done what I need them to get done cheaply and reliably! More reliably than stateside employees!  The outsource team that I have been able to put together, they’re actually more phenomenal than college graduates in the United States!

Let’s talk about some of the tasks that have are the greatest benefit outsourcing.

Some of the best things to outsource are things like:

  • data center outsourcing
  • legal outsourcing
  • medical outsourcing
  • copywriting and editing
  • employee benefits outsourcing
  • hr benefits outsourcing
  • marketing and linkbuilding

All of these things are really very easy to send overseas or to send to workers that are not physically part of your company. There are a number of outsourcing companies that will manage this sort of thing for you. I do have to advise against hiring an outsourcing company to manage your outsourcers though.  Oftentimes, they’ll run up your bill and get very little work done…

For me, the greatest benefit outsourcing has been that it lets me clear my head and allows me to grow my business.  That’s why I recommend it so highly!
