I'm always willing to learn from other's outsourcing experiences. Outsourcing, because of its leveraging effect, is just something where one little tip can create massive profitability. Hope you're doing well this past year mate. It seems you are. Thanks Andrew. I’m always willing to learn from other’s outsourcing experiences.

Many of the tasks you mentioned can be handled by a Virtual Assistant or VA. For many business owners handling the administrative side of the business really bogs them down and a VA can help the business ramp up and get the owner doing what he/she does best! I have an article SEVEN COMMON MISTAKES BUSINESS OWNERS MAKE WHEN TRYING TO HIRE A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT on my blog that you might find compliments what you say here. It can be found at: http://chenterprises.wordpress.com/ Thanks for your informative blog, I know it will help many business owners streamline their business. Like Kate, I am a Virtual Assistant.

Congrats on your new blog - it's about time... I am at the point of starting to think about outsourcing some of the tasks involved with my IM business and these 2 posts have helped me decide to actually do it NOW. You emphesize that a friend's recommendation is best. I think it would be a great idea and service for your loyal readers if you could recommend some of the outsourced staff you have a good expereince working with... You mentioned an office at the phillipines you enjoy working with...it would really be helpfull if you can reffer us to them... Keep up the good work. Eyal Barzilay Hey Andrew,

Excellent posts, and for those that can't afford to outsource anything yet, I've created a Bartering Forum where people can exchange their services for a service done on their behalf. The forum is not active yet, but will be soon, here's a link in case anyone is interested http://barteringforum.com Thanks, Dan Andrew, much of this is exactly what EMyth, Revisited (hard cover book) describes in detail, in over 270 pages.

This means I know when I go to pass an activity on to someone, how long it should take, an idea of how much it will earn if done properly and so forth. Really the only way you can tell is test it for yourself but the thing is, most of the time, the purpose of outsourcing is to free up your time as much as make more money. For me personally there are alot of times when I'd rather sacrifice a little extra money to get ALOT of extra time, you know? Hope that helps anyway. Andrew Hey Laban,
