Once you list all the activities you need to market your business online, you'll want to build a team. Next, you're going to wonder who you should hire first. After all, with so much to do, and what is most likely a limited budget, most entrepreneurs cannot go out and hire all the people they hope to in the beginning.
These are all great questions and in this video from James Wedmore, you're going to get the answers.
The bottom line is that you cannot build a really successful business by yourself. You need help. And that help will come from other people's talents, energy and time. Those who get to profits the quickest know that when it comes to building a team, the sooner the better.
You can't go solo on this one. Well, you can. You have the ability. But you'll either move too slowly or burn out in no time if you wear all the hats in your business. The time, talents, and energy of other people is just the help you need for your online business. The sooner you build your team, the sooner you'll realize the profit potential of your business.
So where do you start?
So where do you start? With the popularity and viral nature of video in marketing, you may believe that the first person you should hire is a camera person. If you have made any videos at all for your business then you know that filming can be awkward when you're trying to be the cameraman, the director, and the actor, all in one.
It's not recommended that you pay someone to help you film, at least not at first.
While creating video is important, there are other on-going things that are just as important. For that reason, hiring someone in an administrative role such as a virtual assistant is a great first person when hiring to build a team.
So what should this Virtual Assistant do?
To find the answer, you need to first evaluate your current online business activities.
First, take a look at the activities of your business to discover the things that you dread doing. These would be things that need to get done, but not necessarily done by you.
The second thing you should do is evaluate yourself. We all have strengths and weakness. Observe what yours are. You can do this by taking a personality test like Myers Briggs. This will help you to decide where you should be spending your time (in your strengths) so that you can train or hire someone to handle the business items that are not your strengths (the stuff that drains your creativity and energy).
So there you have it-How to Build a Team online so you can leverage time and talents of others. Having the best people working within their strengths will be the leverage you need to build your business beyond where it is right now.
