Online Business Success Looks Like a Well-Oiled Machine
When you think about all the things in your life that run like a well oiled machine you will start to be amazed. Your body, your car, your computer (most of the time), the ATM machine, the gas station. All these things you use everyday with little thought as to all the underlying stuff going on, the underlying machine, that works to make it happen. So my question to you is: Does your online business run like a well-oiled machine, or do you personally need to spend your time monitoring, cranking, and pushing it along (uphill, in the snow, both ways) to make it work?
If you find that you don’t have a really good system to keep your business humming along, and bringing you the online business success that you really want, which includes some freedom of your time, then you are missing a key element to success.
You need systems, and you need great people in place to run those systems. In a perfect online business, you can walk away and still make money while the system you set in place continues to function. This keeps your business afloat, keeps your team employed, keeps your customers happy, and allows you to still have a life and enjoy building a business that you are proud of.
Sounds pretty great, right?
One of the systems you should have in place is Outsourcing. Even with all the worries and controversy over outsourcing your business overseas, thousands of business owners have been able to build companies that thrive and benefit people everywhere, even in their own company, when they fully embrace the power of talented people regardless of where they live.
In my own business, I have outsourced work to many parts of the world, including the United States. I don’t discriminate upon country of origin. What I look for is talent, dedication, ability, and passion.
Building Your Business Machine With the Benefits of Outsourcing
You need systems – human driven and machine (software) driven to compete with an Online Business, it’s that simple. Aweber is a great example of software driven system, your bank’s automated billpay is a great example of a software driven system. With a little effort up front by you, the rest work without given it any additional thought, right?
Well, it’s no different with human-driven system. The system itself is what you spend some time upfront developing and your team is what puts that system into action. You monitor the results of the system, and make adjustments along the way until it’s working just right.
Easy enough – but how can you build out these systems for your Online Business? Here’s a quick process to try out. I like to get feedback from my outsourcing team as the process is implemented since they can provide valuable information about how to make it even better!
3-Step Your Way to System Building for Online Business Success
1 – Start with your end game in mind. I know, I say that a lot but the end is really a great place to start. What do you want to achieve? Opt-ins, sales, more backlinks, exposure to get attention and build brand reputation, more likes, more friends, less friends, more speaking engagements, book promotion….what exactly do you want to accomplish? Once you know this, write it down. These are your goals.
2 – Next, identify a strategy for obtaining the goal. For example, if you are going to engage in book promotion, the strategy may be to build a website for your book and use various tactics to drive people to that website. For your online marketing, you may find a great course to purchase that has a strategy that you can use, such as what Video Traffic Academy teaches about Video marketing with YouTube. Identify and write down the strategy.
3 – Finally, create a system for how that will be accomplished. Write down the steps that will be needed for each part so that they can be taught and/or duplicated as needed. If you put a lot of thought into the process initially then the rest is about training and implementation. In the corporate world, they may call these Operations Manuals, and they sound very boring and, well, “corporate.” However, having a written implementation plan with your tactics is just smart.
Using the Benefits of Outsourcing for Systems Execution
Trying to work the plan on your own, especially with Internet Marketing, is just crazy. You have to have a little help. This is where Outsourcing your Business will work. Instantly, you can duplicate your efforts and get more done every day, moving your closer to Online Business Success.
