Go on, Admit it, your not a superstar, you can’t do everything yourself and you can’t be the best at everything.
For one thing there just are not enough hours in the day to do absolutely everything yourself when you are building a new business, and there are also specialist tasks that need people that have specialist skills, Marketing, Video Production, Graphic Design, etc.
However as a small and growing business you can’t always afford to set on an SEO / SEM agency, hire and retain a video producer, directly employ a full time graphic designer or photographer, but these are all skills which in an Internet based business you are going to need.
So whats the answer, well personally we are utilising a little crowd sourcing in the form of Fiverr this is a site where people all over the world provide services electronically for a start price of five dollars.
Some of the skills we currently utilise from Fiverr are Creative Writing for SEO blog articles both for our own internal blog and other fashion blogs, we have used them for Logo and favicon creation, and we are currently commissioning someone to do short product videos for us for use on YouTube / Vimeo etc.
All of these services we can commission at any time for minimal cost on a pay as we use / need basis, perfect for the small budget and time limited business.
But first you have to admit you cant do everything yourself, we all need a little help, and Fiverr gives us just that a little help just when we need it.
