Have you ever been in a situation where there simply
isn’t enough time in the day to get done what you need
to get done?
When you’re spending hour after hour on tasks that
aren’t directly making you money then you can become
a bit disillusioned. You know that each of these tasks
absolutely must be done but you want to spend your
time on the bigger things like closing actual property
deals!

There are lots of ways you can try and improve processes but
one solution that many small businesses find to be effective is
outsourcing. If you haven’t looked at outsourcing before then
you might be a bit wary of what it entails. In a nutshell, if you
can put in the effort needed to get the right person for the job
and to develop them in terms of what you require,
outsourcing can be the ideal long-term solution to your
problems.
You really do have to see it as a long-term benefit because it
may take up a fair amount of time to get the ball rolling. You
need to put in time to get to a position where you are
delegating tasks and they are being completed in the way
that you require.

1. List Your
Tasks
Obviously, you need to look at all of the current
tasks that you are doing to see which ones you
are able to outsource. Write a full list of tasks
and pick one that takes something like 1-3 hours
to complete. A typical task in property sourcing
might be data scraping, creating a spreadsheet
of properties that have been on the market for a
while, etc.

2. Develop
A Brief
So that the person you’re outsourcing understands
the task, you will need to develop instructions. This
shouldn’t be a huge step-by-step document because
you don’t have the time to put that together. Keep it
fairly simple but with enough information to ensure
they have all of the key points. If you want to record a
task you perform on your screen as part of the
instructions, there is a software called Jing
(https://www.techsmith.com/jing) that you should look
into using. It basically allows you to create a video of
your screen and then provides a link that you can
share.

3. Find A
VA/Freelancer
The next part is to find the person who can
perform the task for you. There are many
websites that freelancers sign up to such as
Upwork, Freelancer, PeoplePerHour, etc.
Probably the best one of the lot is Upwork.com,
which covers all kinds of skills, experience and
costs.
You will need to create an account and then
post a description of the job, including the
deadline, and you can also upload an
instructional video.

3. Find A
VA/Freelancer
You have the option to leave the job open to the
public (so every Upwork user can see it) or
closed. We mention this because leaving it open
could result in you being inundated with
applicants and it could take you hours or even
days just sifting through them.
If you leave it closed, you can search for
freelancers who have the necessary skills and
then invite a select number to apply for the job.
In terms of pay, most freelancers will have an
indication on their profile of their hourly rate.

4. Hire the
Freelancer Once you have found someone that you think
has the necessary skills, you then hire them.
A good approach is to hire them on an hourly
basis and ask them to do one hour’s work.
You then check the work to see if it is up to
standard and decide whether to continue with
them or go to another freelancer.
~~~~~~
10. You may find that you hire a freelancer that doesn’t work out but
don’t be put off by it, if you keep going and keep communicating
with freelancers you can build great relationships. At some point
you might even be able to have a full team of freelancers and
employ a VA to take over the process of working with the virtual
team. This will save so much of your time and enable you to
concentrate on the other tasks like property deal sourcing.
